As many of you know, Warcraft 2 has recently been remastered. Unfortunately it hasn't received the love that starcraft received.
Currently the playerbase is split between remastered (newer players) and war2combat (old school players)
I began playing Warcraft 2 online competitive multiplayer in 1996. Since then I've been a C level iccup bw player and a 9 time master league SC2 player. But my passion has always been with this game.
I recently built a youtube channel for commentary for high level warcraft 2 games. I've spent the last 6 weeks of my life working on this and building a community website that I plan on launching in the next month.
Here's the deal - right now blizzard has left this game completely broken with no multiplayer features. The one that really irks me is that they've removed 'random location' for player position as they have sabotaged the game completely.
I made this video addressing the issue (skip to the end - see time stamps)
I'm just trying to save a game that I have loved for 30 years. Our community is small and we're being abused and destroyed by the creators of the game.
Oh wow, welcome to TL! I've seen War2Combat posting here about the competitive War2 scene, but they haven't been around in forever, so I'm glad I now know of you and War2 is still kicking !
I feel a more concise video would help your cause get attention on social media. Like, a talking head video would be adequate or even better, an edited video where you show people visually what the problem is. This is unfortunately not an uncommon problem with Blizzard RTSes, unfortunately. I know for a while for Remastered there was a schism with Shieldbattery/ICCUP and other versions of Starcraft.
I know you need the game to function but the new blood is the new shiny version that is far more accessible.
Hey! I’ve been following u8’s stream to chill for years now and I appreciate you putting in the effort to cast games / bring attention to this game (which really holds up super well IMO). I followed/subscribed. One thing though, when meaningful things happen in the games you cast, pleeeease don’t do the screen shake. It’s so jarring and uncomfortable to watch. I’d much prefer just a zoom in and zoom back out; accomplishes the same thing of orienting the viewers focus without being so…jarring.
