Warcraft 3 Re-Reforged mod follows through on Blizzard promises

Remember when Warcraft 3: Reforged was first announced at BlizzCon 2018? The cutscenes were looking good (opens in new tab), and the promise of “Remastered maps and campaigns” sounded like what people wanted. When the remade RTS was released, however, the changes weren’t nearly as dramatic as players were hoping for. The cutscenes lacked the cinematic flair of the trailer, and the map changes were pretty light-touch stuff.

As Fraser Brown said in his review, “Veteran players will notice some tweaks, like camps, mines and other things being moved around, but meaningful changes are few and far between. Aesthetically, though, they are pretty unappealing. Despite the higher quality textures, it feels like playing WoW Classic with modern character models. The juxtaposition just makes the maps look more dated.”
