I'ts like I'm being transported into my childhood. (cries)

[Homestar98]

I wish I still had that Warcraft II Battle.net Edition disc. I just checked some CD wallets, but couldn't find it. But again, even if I DID find it, I doubt it'd work on these newer computers...

[ZLYKomornik]

@Homestar98 W2 battle net edition works on WinXp/Vista/7, i got orginal copy of it. Cheers!

[Homestar98]

@ZLYKomornik So it would? Man I SERIOUSLY need Warcraft II. Hopefully Amazon still sells it.

[ZLYKomornik]

@Homestar98 add me so i can pm ya:)

[musicluvr1974]

@ZLYKomornik How did yiu get your copy to work on Windows 7? Mine won't... :-(

[musicluvr1974]

@ZLYKomornik How did you get your copy to work on Windows 7? Mine won't... :-(

(sorry for the typo previously... :-P )

[Yorsefener]

@musicluvr1974 try running WC2 in compadability mode or dos box

[musicluvr1974]

@Yorsefener Got it working after downloading DOSBox--the introduction is just in funky colors.

[tunch90]

All hail Lord Turalyon

[Tigerknigt]

You know what i like? this music. you know what i don't like? people bitching about war3 and wow on war2 music videos. ur supsoed to post a comment about the video! not something unrelated.kk thx WERE READY MASTER, IM NOT READY

[cgoans]

@Tigerknigt "I've got the brain!"

"Nuh-uh!"

[LordLoco87]

@cgoans D'you want axe?

[chiisanawani]

4 different armies to handle, instead of basically a cosmetic difference between the two sides, for one thing. But if you didn't like the hero thingy, I can understand why you did not like the game.

[cr4yv3n]

@chiisanawani the focus was too much on the hero, and less on the army, hell a strong hero could destroy a whole army by himself - all maps in multiplayer were a rush to lvl your hero, nothing more.

[grungemetall]

this is the real music. my fav track. screw the new music

[ifotuttoquandovo]

the best song of warcraft saga

[morkar90]

Man why is it I think Warcraft 2 was way more badass than War3? I mean the story was more bloody, you really got a sense of these two mighty legions clashing. Even the voice acting was more 'manly' than in warcraft 3. You had badasses like Lothar and Uther. Footmen looked and sounded like grizzled veterans. Trolls looked like they could tear you apart with their bare hands, where as now they look lanky and comical. The soundtracks were grandoise and dramatic. It's just epic.

[cr4yv3n]

@morkar90 war3 was a joke made as a stepping stone for WoW.

[itwasme356]

@cr4yv3n what????????? you do realize when wow was being developed that they only envisioned 10 thousand people playing total, unlike you, who is likely a wrath baby, i was playing since warcraft 1, maybe i'm not the best player, but thats ok, i actually know what im talking about.

i was there playing ranked ladders on war3 and remember seeing advertisments for world of warcraft.

[cr4yv3n]

@itwasme356 rofl wrath baby?

I was doing sunwell when you were sucking your thumb kido. I did Nefarian - the FIRST one , not the one we got in cataclysm now.

Warcraft 3 sucked ass, who cares if you were good at it, we ain't talking about skill here but about quality.

Even warcraft 1 and 2 were better than 3 ( yeah son, i DID play warcraft 1 )

[chiisanawani]

@cr4yv3n Gameplay wise wc3 was much better than 1 or 2, what are you smoking?

[cr4yv3n]

@chiisanawani not.

This whole "hero" stuff just didn't cut it. Limited troops and no naval warfare?

How was this "gameplay wise better" ?

[deusirae76]

@cr4yv3n The heroes in Wc3 were more than just improved basic units, and the gameplay was different between the four races. The gameplay was EXACTLY THE SAME between the orcs and the humans in Wc1 and 2, each unit had its similar counterpart.

[itwasme356]

@cr4yv3n what the fuck ever, so did i play wc1 and 2 (when they were relatively new) as well, dude, when i started playing wow, every single tuesday was 8 hours down time regardless and i also did BWL prebc, i remember when doing deadmines took 10 players and before they added some of the lvl 40 kalimdor instances, believe me, i WAS there, i love warcraft boy.

[cr4yv3n]

@itwasme356 I dunno who this 'warcraft boy' is that you love him but good luck with that.

Also you wouldn't be here if you did not like warcraft - it's a clip dedicated to the game.

[MrMoroes]

@cr4yv3n It makes me laugh how much you hate Warcraft 3 for introducing Hero unit type :D and about the gameplay... Can you measure it by any means? if i will use a ruler can i read how much of gameplay a game has? The answer is nope, it's not possible to measure gameplay in any way, because it's different for every single person, and just because YOU say that something is shitty, doesn't mean it in fact is shitty ;)

On a side note: Great track, of a great game :)

[cr4yv3n]

@MrMoroes obviously it is my PoV - everyone including you expresses his PoV here.

That's why this is called the "comments" section...

[EvilestEvil]

@morkar90 You seem to have gotten your games mixed up. What you described, with the exception of Lothar of course, is Warcraft 3.

[morkar90]

@EvilestEvil No mix up. War3 was great, but the atmosphere was nothing like War2. At all.

[JanuszPawian2]

@morkar90 you joking. WC3 is good, not like WC2

[IkbenAlphastar]

@aggebagge13

so true. Too much focus on nice graphics simply kills the gameplay.

[orlaniado]

very profesional music...

[ArKKaZ99]

Mage: Do you need assistance?

Knight/Paladin: Your majesty?

Any ships: Captain on the bridge!

My childhood!!

[nekrosith]

@ArKKaZ99

Mine too XD

[Nawyria]

@ArKKaZ99

Ready to serve my lord!

Your Majesty?

Defending your honour!

In your name!

*proceeds to slaughter enemy forces*

Warcraft 2 Knights were the best.

[HakoneDrift]

@Nawyria you forgot "For Lothar!"

All hail Lothar and his edge widely used in DotA to kick butt!

[Tigerknigt]

@Nawyria Their laugh when healing could becomming annoying. 'HIHIHIHIH'

[cr4yv3n]

@Tigerknigt well the horde now has its own 'gnomes' - talk about irony :D

[Gladiator1210]

@Nawyria You forgot the best lines: We MOVE! and For the Kiiiiiiiing.

[Isusovac1995]

damn these soundtracks are all just EPIIIIIIC!!!!!!!!

[DurLock345]

I only played warcraft II back when I was 6...I never got past the first three campaign missions (which I have no memory of D:) and now i'm really sad because I got brutally assaulted by nostalgia and now my discs aren't running T-T

[nitrotec]

@DurLock345 easily can be downloaded from the net..not even by torrents just by one small file...

[GmodPlusWoW]

"We must take action"

[ViscaBarcaInter]

This game was GO good. I used to love making maps for my mate and I to play on. Clearly I had a slight advantage in head to head battles, haha. :D This is much better than WoW for me, this game is like sex, except I only paid for this once and it lasted more than 4 minutes. :D

[Enfeeblement]

I love the Knights!

"You majesty?"

"What hold?"

"Give me a quest!"

And when they're moving:

"We move"

"In your name"

"Defending your honor"

"For the King!"

[Zeithri]

@Enfeeblement - Archers for me.

But I don't remember anything they said really except;

"For the Alliance."

[Homestar98]

@Zeithri Wowpedia has a WHOLE collection of quotes.

[TheEastWater]

i played wc2 for al long time a go i was a little kid but i understand the the horde enter Azeroth to raze the human kindgoms. And after seeing lothar dieing i had revange fellings stormwind is best!!!!

[kakashilecopieur]

my life for the lorderon,sign of the hammer is my guide

[JKrizu89]

Go check out my recreation of this tune! :)

[MrDannybm88]

What's weird is.. it's the same composer for Warcraft 3.

The soundtrack for the 3rd is much more "modern" and flowing and less MUSICAL.

they do the same thing with movies nowadays..

it's strange

[ShaithMaster]

@MrDannybm88 yeah they use "orchestra in a box" and it all sounds the same

[Leodhais]

Yeah, these old soundtracks are really outstanding art. "Lords of The Realm II" consisted some good music too.

[leefbeef]

aye captain? aye aye sir

[nIxNuZ]

I love this theme... It gives you this feeling... You won but you are still sad because of all of those people who gave their lives to make this victory possible.

Nothing comes close to the old Blizzard games soundtracks.

[meowythingmeows]

@nIxNuZ You know what they say... Today is a good day to die.

[Gsaror]

even elven race get tired of waiting.

[DuckTail193]

I think it was "Even elder races get tired of waiting", right?

[Shiridan]

2nd favourite track

[aggebagge13]

the problem of todays gaming is the main focus of graphics the main focus shoud be gameplay

[Kuzmorgo]

Blizzard games still great however :)

[2010paultron]

@aggebagge13

buddy i totally agree. sometimes simplicity is superior. if a game is able to provide a heavy dose of fun then music and graphics can be lacking and no one will notice.

[lebloe]

@aggebagge13 so true, some games have killer graphics but they're boring as hell, I thought it was just me!

[gyppygirl2021]

And that's why I love Warcraft. The first game still manages to be pretty after all these years... it's eyecandy as well as mindcandy. =D

[HakoneDrift]

@aggebagge13

what matters is on the inside, not the outside. Never thought it applies to video games too...

[KnarkPekka]

@aggebagge13

you forgot the Background music

[BlazexShadow]

@aggebagge13 soooooo true. i mean, graphics are nice and all, but what good is a game that just looks nice? if the gameplay terrible, then its worthless. its like getting a bimbo who thinks that america invaded pearl harbor in mexico in the 1990's (they do exist btw) that constantly bugs you with stupid questions. she would just piss you off with idiocy to the point where its not even hot anymore!

[Flurow]

@aggebagge13 i can agree with you but not for blizzard they are still developing good stories and not the best graphic if you compare to like crysis or something

[ShaithMaster]

@Flurow crysis was a good game, not just because of the graphics

[conguitowsk]

@aggebagge13 amen bro!

[MrJorrad]

@aggebagge13 and story

[op4000exe]

@aggebagge13

Wrong, the problem is that it is not the games we connect with nostalgia, and they never will be either.

[Machdude]

Graphics look smashing and yet we have a total of 4 hours of actual gameplay before dumping you into multiplayer!

Nice games...

[thedonoftrek]

@aggebagge13 gameplay and story! D:

[LeonSylon]

@aggebagge13 damn right!

[IAMTHECAPSGODLOL]

@aggebagge13

Shut up and eat your bloom

[ltcgyt]

@aggebagge13 But you can't always blame the developers. With Alpha Protocol the devs made a great game with a great storyline and great gameplay elements allowing you to play a mission in a million possible ways, but got terrible critics due to it's "buggy" and unimpressive graphics, reason to why there won't be a sequel. A greatly underrated game. Damn critics ans shallow players, the masses get fed the crap they ask for and the rest of us have to suffer the crap with them.

[Lm3ntz]

@aggebagge13 Have you seen the trailer of counter-strike : global offensive? They failed on both aspects there.. it's a fucking disgrace to counter-strike 1.5/1.6

but then I hear this and die of nostalgia *¬*

[ProjectEvil]

If you use the new dosbox, you can run them all on 64 bit machines

[FREEZERQC]

the batlle net edition run on window vista 32 bit

[BubblefishOfTrem]

Check out dosbox, it can run warcraft 1 and 2 just fine on my machine.

[assazergling]

Awaiting orders.

[NodDisciple1]

Ready to serve.

[nagglfar]

yesh mi lord

[MSK120]

Those damn dirty orcs killed Lothar! I can never forgive them for that! He got totally massacred in mission 13, lol

[NodDisciple1]

Yes, filthy greenskins!

[bobojr456]

i remember using the invincibility cheat to keep him alive...

[kaylon99]

"it is a good day to die" i think it was :D

[zymeth0628]

@MSK120 lol 4 knights+lotharsvs lotsa ogres,orcs and trolls

[mauler]

@MSK120

I typed "itisagooddaytoday" fast enough to save him hahaha

[nurman666]

I can play WC2 on vista, using the Bnet edition

[Katalmach]

I love the storyline part of WC2. It had the best theme ever. Humans versus Orcs. The Battle for survival. A simple yet ever so incredibly compelling motivation to play the campaign. IMHO, The story of WC2/3 also felt shitloads more dramatic then the current storyline of WoW.

UNCLE LOTHAR WANTS YOU.

[nukeandfusion]

Ufortunately i couldnt play it on Vista...

[KittenKiller]

I hear this so often. I'm glad I never switched to Vista.

[KittenKiller]

Wait...did you try right-clicking on the WAR2.EXE, going to preferences and changing the compatibility to Windows 98?

[nukeandfusion]

Yes.But it didnt work.I dont know why...

Did you make it work at Vista just with this option?Maybe i did somthing wrong...

[KittenKiller]

No. I don't even have Vista ( thank god ). What happens when you try to run it?

[nukeandfusion]

It just doesnt work...

[KittenKiller]

So absolutely nothing happens? No flash on the screen? No error message?

[nukeandfusion]

I cant remember nao...Anyway i think it really jsut doesnt play...

Anyway thanx for your help /b/rother

[MrMoroes]

"The Naaru have not forgotten us!"

emm i mean "Sire?"

[Lazurasoneoneone]

sir anduin lothar, the last of the arathi bloodline.

wc2 fucking owns the shit out of all, never have i felt such joy when i was just a child and played this divine game every day of every hour untill my parents litteraly dragged me away.

[marceldelta666]

Dude, those were the days.

Ask yourself: what do we have now? World of Gaycraft and all others RTS that are 10 in graphics and 0 compared to this classic.

Old gamers.... cry with me.

[Lazurasoneoneone]

indeed, wow, wc3... cant compete vs war 2, starcraft, D2, my best times where while playing these games of grace. i never regretted a single second

[cronolevine]

man....im glad im not the only one that thinks like that....everywhere i look now the are pricks playing wc3 and wow and their bullshit state of the art games.....and they think they know everything about wc cause of wc3...its so fucking annoying...dont they have ANY respect for the amazing classics like wc2, compared to wc3 wc2 takes tou deeply into this mystic awesome medieval athmosphere with awesome tunes like the one im hearing right now...sight!....the good old days.....

[romanov77]

Grab your sword and fight the Horde!

[Strelok20]

ARE YOU STILL TOUCHING ME???Xd

[HakoneDrift]

who summoned me?!

polymorph ftw! oink oink... sqeee... oink oink... squee ... oink oink... KABOOM!! (to think this trick carries over to wc3 critters)

[Kappa105]

I play wow but in the last expansion they really fucked up the story!

I mean, muradin and Mal'Ganis didnt even die...

[Enfeeblement]

DON'T YOU HAVE A KINGDOM TO RUN???

Classic.

[Adeon55]

You're making me seasick!

[cybertech22]

[alpha2964]

Thank you so much for these, my love for the old game is now fully re-kindelled :D

[Dahlonewolf]

Blizzard FTW!

I rest my case

[Knobbs1994]

[WoWwars]

[runefan213]

STOP POKING MEE!!!

[nefariousD11]

IVE GOT A FLYING MACHINE!!!

[BBoyEly]

[xStalkerxx]

yes master?! -OGRE

[DarkAvatar1313]

"Join the Army! They said..."

"See the world! They said..."

"I'd rather be sailing."

[poundu27]

'Who summoned me?'

[Gsaror]

stop rocking the boat, your making me seasick, Bruuarchh!!

[SODEMO2007]

"For the King"

"Time is of the essence"

"Your request?"

[Gsaror]

they play this one when your supposed to reach your allies on the island... if i remember correctly.

[changolionico]

"aye aye Captain!!"

[albertomore]

It's Deus Gratia, from Latin.

[anirex911]

yea my liege!!!

awesome game. i loved how the paladins had red glowing eyes!

[tgpaladinhun]

paladin is the best in every game :D

[myttn]

yes but somehow they can be too good .... thats why im always humans :D

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

blue

[F4y3V4l3nt1n3]

no wait, yellow!

[kalington]

I had almost forgotten...

Damn, this just wipes floors with just about anything!

[slink73valgon]

I know this is orc but ... BLUG-AHAHAHAHAHAH

[MorthusProductions]

Lothar Reign Supreme!

[mesa134]

90's in generally made soo much good music in games and in real life...fuck the 21st century all we have is too much hip hop posser style everyones soo fake these days

[devouringone3]

Yeah I agree... at least they forced themself in making some epic stuff... now graphic games are epic (for their graphics)... but they have no music. I mean wtf... audio is 50% as much as video... and for me, I'd even say 75% audio... I always loved games with good music, and when I'm looking back in my early days, those snes games had some awesome music too.

[mesa134]

Couldn't agree more..It sets the tone , what does it say about the game when you start the first Level and you hear some really crappy shit

[sinneade]

That's so true. Before games were good for their Lore and music, now it's only the graphics that matter :(

[devouringone3]

Yes... :(

[osten22]

thats correct!

We have Doom, Rise of the triad (Kick ass midis!) Warcraft, Command & Conquer series (Oh yeah, Frank Klepacki), great stuff!

[Araben13]

haha rise of the triad was pritty bad dude :p but it was new back then anyway :)

Command and conquer pwns though.

[osten22]

ehm Rott isnt as advanced as Doom but its still a damn fun game with great music.

Its just different, its Rott, its a different sort of cult shooter.

[harlequin2262]

Rott was more advanced than Doom. Doom was as basic as you could get.

[erikk123]

CoT Hillsbrad, anyone else got shivers when flying the dragon there? :P

[nesgankster]

YEAH! I sure have! it was amazing going to the past events of Azeroth during staple moments in history such as, Thrall's escape from durnholde keep, Medivh opening the Dark Portal in the first war, the climatic battle for mount Hyjal;

AND in WOTLK there will be another instance where in another rift in time, we aid "Prince" Arthas in The Culling of Stratholme!

[erikk123]

I want Warcraft 2 stuff though :)

[IllPhatPanda]

haha sorry meant to rate you up

[erikk123]

heh, np :)

[sinneade]

OFC! CoT is I believe the only good thing that Blizz to WoW!

[Warcraft669]

This one is the best :D

[Skrewologist]

I remember playing war2 on Kali back in the day. That game was way ahead of its time back then. So much fun... WoW music is too classical; it should be more like war2 music... agreed?

[Sarcasticunt]

Yahhh.

[bfiljolreivaealnd]

Oh good old times

[xxGuanoxx]

"At once sire"

[irkiIIer]

yep! they fucked up in WarCraft3 with the musick.

[Daftlife909]

agree agree agree, I have the say Warcraft II's music is the most epic music of all their games
