View Full Version : Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
Joril 01-25-2003, 03:58 AM Finally!!
It has been announced, of course there was an image on Blizzard's webpage that gave it away a few days ago.
The Warcraft III expansion is coming our way, and that's only good news :D
Here's the homepage for the expansion.
http://www.blizzard.com/war3x/
One new Hero per race, each possessing powerful spells and magical abilities
A host of new units, each equipped with new abilities and spells, giving players the opportunity to create diverse strategic and tactical forms of combat
Player-built shops, unique for each race, equipped with items carefully designed to improve and aid the units of every race
Neutral Heroes, available for recruitment by all players, that can supplement and strengthen a player's army with all new spells and abilities
Expanded multiplayer options over Battle.netŪ including multiple new game types, clan and tournament support
Sounds alright to me.
And of course, I wanne know what the story is gonne be like.
I'm hoping on a new Broodwar-type of expansion :)
This should be good ....

I just hope there's more cinematics. That's good enough for me, gameplay be damned. ;)
:drool: I can't wait :drool:

"The Frozen Throne " isn't that when you don't have a heater in the bathroom? :D

MMMm.... as a reformed EQaholic......
I'm looking forward to WoW and SWG.....then.....then..my life will end again...
Oh and WC3... I play it from time to time... but most of my game playing friends still prefer to play good ole Star Craft

I hope the expansions actually allows for more STRATEGIC gameplay. I love Blizzard games and played starcraft for a long time and warcraft, Diablo, DiabloII, etc.., but WarcraftIII was really fun for a month or two and then got totally boring :(.
My brother felt the same way. We think it's because WIII doesn't allow for too much strategizing. It's like the same old thing, again, and again, ang again. The storylines too.
Multiplayer was just a who-can-do-the-same-old-race-specific-build-route the fastest. :(
I hope the new units, heros, and their abilities really shake things up a bit.
I'm anxiously waiting for World of Warcraft really. I've never played MMOPG before. I will when WoW gets here though :).
I used to tell my brother when we were playing DiabloII and even WIII that it would be cool if we could see from the perspective of the hero and actually be immersed in the environment. WoW looks like it's going to be just that and more!
I hope the music in Wow is really good like it was in Diablo too.

They released some demo music, so far sounds great.
I love the composers choice as usual, they really put a lot in their music.
I mean contracting 4 musicians for 1 race one for Warcraft 3 was sheer genius. I believe one of those composed the Zelda theme song. Really famous and all. ;)
bah, screw it,
they shoulda put out starcraft 2.
screw ghost, wc3, and anything else delaying sc2
booOOOOOOO
and yes i know i just posted 2 negative posts, but thats just
a coincidence!!!

They proberly will do SC2... but you will proberly have to wait 2-5 years :)
I really doubt that Blizzard North will make SC2. Blizzard is making WoW and war3x. But concept work on SC2 might have started.
Hmmm... time will tell.

I think blizzard should spend all of it's resources on finishing WoW first in my opinion!

Gah I don't want to think about the frozen throne. I ended up putting a space heater in the bathroom over it.

I think Frozen Throne came out just a bit too early...
I mean.. people didn't really get to get "tired" of the game yet... most of us aren't that good at that game either... now this new expansion is going to make it hard for us newbies... T.T

I don't think It's gonne be out that soon, they're still developing it.
There's even a beta-test fase coming up.
