For instance, from a modern perspective, some of the orc units might seem to move a bit too slow around, an aspect that was corrected later on. Still, Warcraft 2 is a 2D, isometric, real time strategy that has both the charm as well as some of the flaws of the original.
The higher resolution graphics allow one to better sink into the game, and also, to better recognize the unit types that are included. Warcraft 2 can still be played without issues. Higher resolution RTS than the original, still highly playable Players of modern mobile games like Clash of Clans and Backyard Monsters should make the effort to investigate Warcraft 2 and see how the RTS genre began. Production values are high, with cut scenes that are impressive for the time (and which stand up well even today)and in-game graphics which are colourful and full of personality. The inclusion of features such as objectives, aerial and sea-based units, and multi-player options provide the game with much of its appeal, and while the AI can be predictable at times, it is only with some real tactical thinking that players will emerge victorious. While the plot and writing are somewhat hackneyed and overbearing, this doesn't detract from what is actually a deep and complex game. Warcraft 2 takes many of the staples of the RTS genre, such as resource building, objectives and a wide range of unit types, and marries them with a fantasy storyline detailing the struggle between the allied forces of Man and the invading Orcs. The expansion also includes a bonus campaign which tells the story of the Horde’s colonization of Kalimdor.Warcraft 2 offers a fascinating insight into the development of the Warcraft phenomenon and also provides solid real-time strategy gameplay that remains challenging and enjoyable even now. This gives access to neutral heroes which can be recruited by any race.
A new neutral building, the tavern, also appears. Each race of the original game is given one new hero, new units and a building which allows purchasing specific items. In the new Frozen Throne campaigns, the player is led to discover two new races, the Nagas and the Draenei (who are not playable in multiplayer). The Frozen Throne, like its predecessor, has four playeable races: Humans, Orcs, Night Elfs and Undead. The Frozen Throne was very well received by critics and sold more than one million copies less than two months after its release.
Both the PC and Macintosh versions were published in North America by Blizzard Entertainment on Jand in Europe by Sierra on July 4, 2003. Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne is an expansion pack of the real-time strategy video game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos developed by Blizzard Entertainment.
