Title: Warcraft 3 tomorrow anyone?
Post by: videoholic on July 02, 2002, 05:44:23 PM
Should I be expecting to play anyone tomorrow night?   actually I may have to work tomorrow night and then I am going to the parentals for 4 days.  I may not get to really play till Sunday.  I might just bring it to the parentals though.  I\'ll at least get to play a little tomorrow night online.  I\'m tired of playing the computer.

I was *ahem* aquireing it the other day on a 56k.  It took 2 days, then once I installed it, it turned out be NHL2002.  I guess i deserved it, so I have to now decide whether to risk it and buy it, w/o trying it out first.

Are you crazy?  I\'ll have it tonight.  Hastings is selling it at Midnight tonight.

Battle.net will be one giant clusterf for the holiday weekend.  I\'ll have it but I\'ll just be one-play-in\' it.

Then again, I don\'t know I might try to get on B.net.  You\'ve got to make a new userid, though so come post it here, when you do it.

The store was a neighbourhood store so they sold it a day early so they wouldn\'t have to compete with the bigger stores! :)

Post by: Big Log on July 03, 2002, 08:46:05 AM
Um, I don\'t have the game.  Wink Wink.......

If I remember correctly there are for races.  Orcs, Humans, Necro, and something else.  The undead or something.  I can\'t remember off the top of my head.  I was playing the story line so I never got to choose my race and without the instructions I didn\'t know what the heck I was doing.

I\'m going to buy it right now.  Emperor Rob, you will be my bizitch tonight big boy...

Yep, Emperor Rob has it right.  I just bought it.  Small boxes..  I like that size box.  Are games going to that size?  It will be nice for stores.  THey could fit a lot more on the shelves.

They have 4 different boxes all with different races on the cover.  Pretty nice art.  I bought the Orc.  He\'s greasy.

I just beat the prologue and got started on the human campaign.  I have the collectors edition, very choice with all the extras.  So far, the little details are very good and is really what makes the game stand out.  I still think the non-synched lips for voices is very annoying though.

EDIT: I\'m very surprised the game is a single CD.  I expected much more then that, especially considering how big diablo was.  Even Red Alert had a disk per campaign.

I got to 9 with the "early" version I had.  I need to copy the saved games over to the real version.  Hopefully I don\'t have to start over.

Vid, I\'ll add you to my friends list.  And anyone else who\'ll post their userid here.  I don\'t know if I\'ll get on tonight; still working on single-player.

Has anyone tried a game on B.net yet?  How\'s the lag?

My account is TheHurricane

I doubt I\'m very good, I spent little time playing it.  Only beat first human mission.  I know basics, and some advanced tactics from other RTS, so I\'m adding vid and rob to my list, you can add me.

I got one thing to say...

w00t on baby, w00t on!

I\'m having problems w/ the game online.

Despite my Powerhouse computer, and BB connection, I have humungo lag and keep getting disconnected from games(not good for rankings).  Two things it could be, a) Battle.net or b) a lot of activity online at 2:30 in the morning around my area.

I wish my comp didn\'t blow monkey chunks, I\'m affraid to buy the game because I think my comp would be dominated by it.

I played a game with 12 people.  Seemed a bit slow though.  I don\'t think I will go over 8 though without knowing what everyone has.

I have registered now BigBry and BigDong  

Now is the time to get every name you want.  Woooh!!
