Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness - Human Level 1

[ajroy03]

Warcraft II came out 4 years before Starcraft so you can't compare them really. Both were epic and if you were cool enough to play one you absolutely played the other.

[TheExitt]

and starcraft 1 of course is super

[TheExitt]

Warcraft 2 and all Starcraft 2 is FTW!! But Warcraft 3 is one of the biggest fails :)

[Darkos169]

Its like Age of Empires I

[xion61]

my best favorite game

[TheDead49]

holy shit, i never play this game, but for my times warcraft 3 is old.

[StyleMethod91]

i want to eat the barracks

[sergius666]

This is back from when warcraft was a quality serious franchise and blizzard an honest dedicated company...unlike now

[hvemaddi]

26 people where orcs :)

[Avizura]

Fuck world of warcraft, I'm playing this masterpiece! 

[RyeGuyDead]

I don't remember the music sounding so...digital. Ha, this is great!

[mynamenur]

<3 gawwwd everyone so sexy :P addictive <3

[LastStand12345]

One of the best games online! and will always be!

[vincentpol]

it's a good day to die

[Inviciblehorse]

That game looks awesome lol you guys know were i can get it?

[SnowfireGames]

@Inviciblehorse

Really? This game was released in 1995. You can find the disk online, or you get go to server.war2.ru

I have both versions.

[Angeldustification]

UTTER AND PURE NOSTALGIA!

[NickBigsmoke]

damn. so many memories. apparently i would cry to my dad whenever the computer beat me.

[mgs4GOTPoldsnake]

god this brings back memories

[xNocturnalKnightx]

Personally, I don't really care how popular War III and WoW are.

I was still little when I saw Warcraft I, and loved it when I got to own the sequel instead of just borrowing like with the first game (never did get to play War I all the way through). The Pre-WarIII atmosphere, music, art-style, and lore will always stick in my head as being somehow...very different from later Warcraft, which feels almost like a different world.

Btw, the old Elven Archers/Rangers were AWESOME. "By your command!"

[HitmanJenkins1]

@xNocturnalKnightx War 3 was still good in my opinion, WoW kinda ruined it in my opinion

[ToPZero94]

I had this game for psx, awh, the good times, when the games were good and hard.

[rareu4532]

Were can i buy it ??

[Pawnbroker00]

@rareu4532 Buy it online.

[SerhatKBD]

In front of the computer screen, nothing felt better than clicking this game's menu buttons to start the game... 

[welcometosnellcast]

anybody else find this quite peaceful to watch this guy click move all the time? :) it seems to calm me.

[thelastair1]

i downloaded it yesterday  and first lvl i tok my guard and kill all the orces

[florastacey9229]

id still play this over Sc2 anyday..

[Veggis92]

There is a huge enchancement graphics and gameplay wise in the second game, even though there was only one year between them.

[ScireSpire]

I think a lot of commenters are people who are not old enough to realize the epicness of Warcraft 2 when it came out :)

[soupdexter1]

warcraft 2 is the best of the series.

[SoundwaveSuperior373]

the setting for wc2 was sum wat cheesy n a novelty but never the less still a great game wc3 was just epic

[skaruts]

This must be a ripped version. No voice in the briefing, midi music in levels.. yea, sure it must be.

[someguy111222]

old school

[Vesemir520Cz]

>x) Best music xD

[DjAlexMetall]

<3 music

[blarbabar]

my first pc game :P

[emptyclubs]

My best mate had this and I wanted it so badly I was there every day ^^

[Informatisse]

^^ this is not the real music but a MIDI version !

[TheJunglesound]

I must say if wc2 is at all similar to wc3 and actually almost every rts ever, you are one of the worst players Ive ever seen lol. But the fact you put the video up for posterity and gave a link to download it partly redeems the immense nubworthiness.

[YRAntiNoob]

OMG, he managed to lose a footman at that mission D:

[Graham6762]

The graphics are so much better than sc2

[MechaMachineHawk]

thx mate

[AwsmPntsAlchmst]

Haha, oh i love how he clicks move hahaha

[fetor41]

Wow nostalgia :)

[ArthasvsLeon]

How sad is it that I know this is the demo's opening mission?

[kazemizu]

@ArthasvsLeon don;t worry, I noticed it too

[oohzolastig]

i mis the old game

[Snoofalah]

Nostalgia has just taken over my soul.

[darkmankill1]

warcraft 2 was the very spark that actually made blizzard well know.

[MaxVerhaag]

yeah the first real game i ever played...

[RoDJ99]

LOL! Polyphone music! :D

[TheChrasse]

looking this video was waste of my time...

[JediDigicore]

glittering prizes!!!!hahahaha!death coil FTw!!!!

[Devos154]

*Wood chop sounds*

[Privfootman]

I want this game!!!!

[shadehealer]

sorry, i know it's a good game and ill prolly play it for the campaign

[shadehealer]

we are under attack! At once sir! sounds like we are under attack for once sir :D

[willmo42]

so i tried to download this from ur website but it said i need 32 bit- is there anyway possible i can play this on a 64 bit??????????????

[masterluuk4]

THIS SONG IS NOSTALGIA DAMNIT!! I USED TO PLAY THIS WHEN I WAS 5!

i want to go back to that time...

[NewZealandBoi11]

OMG I FOUND THE VIDEO IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS WHOLE DAY!

Rofl cool man

[doomedsnickers131]

warcraft 3 came after this??? DAAAYYYUUMMMM

[RiseofBane]

epic music!

[vivaelbananaero]

[lankieSL]

that music drives me crazy

[FrykillerHoNn]

@lankieSL dont sorry it gets better when its not in demo mode =x

[bf2142001]

glittering prizes!

it is a good day to die!

hatchet!

[bf2142001]

[TaylorLautnerrxoxo]

this was made like civcity hahah



[TheNightridr]

reminds of the age of empires games sorta

[arono7]

dude you midi sound settings sucks

[fyourcouchnigga]

The graphics are fucking amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing!

[marcusanddoom]

is the warcraft 2 on that site in the description a demo or the real thing?

[Basilbits26]

Reason why people say it's better than W3, cause it was like most RTS at the time, like Command & Conquer, and C&C: Red Alert, and also Age of Empries, there all great games which i loved and played, so you can see why other people would love this cause it's got a old feeling to it, then knew W3

[Noah837]

@Basilbits26 I agree with you sir...you pretty much spoke my mind in regards to the wonderful classics that you mentioned.

[Kazikox]

apm - 1

[fantasycoproduction]

you know you can move with right click, you don't have to hit move a ton of times

[KoolDudester]

@fantasycoproduction god I saw that, I was like, is he really clicking move? I thought he was setting the unit to patrol at first

[fantasycoproduction]

@Jboye1234 if you still have the cd key you can use a virtual image mounter and get an iso, then mount it to a virtual drive and install it

don't worry, its legal if you have the cd key

HOPE I HELPED!!!

[eleetblessyou]

the music is just awesome

[DarthYodaDenny]

where are your 300 force 100 dwarfs that is why i play warcraft 3

[gruntshunts123]

I personally love wc3... the editor is amazing! and the music is amazing!

[OmaRoS0]

man, this came out in 1995, and age of empires I came out in 1997... that means... blizzard is better than ensemble studios... but i think age of empires II is better than wc3

[RavenBeastBoy]

wow, the good times of the old blizzard.

In that time Blizzard have a nice community.

[Avenger7x]

Awesome game and great music!!

[blackjoker12]

Warcraft 2 got me addicted to the WC Lore when I was 5 years old. WC2 Is such an awesome game. Really great game back in the day. My sister and I would play agents the max amount of computers after school. Ahhh good times :)

[shane87smith]

this is not the first level.. i dont know what this is!!!! that IS NOT where the gold mine should be and you DO NOT start with an archer in the first level!! WHATS GOING ON?!!?!? can some1 pls explain this to me?

[cyberdaemon]

@shane87smith Not to mention having an elven archers before the second mission.This clearly is NOT first or any kind of a level in any of the Warcraft series.

[weeecrap]

@shane87smith It's the demo version, with only three levels I think, so They shrink the early game a little bit so that you at least got one destroy base mission.

[shane87smith]

@weeecrap ahhh i see well that does make sense then. thank you for clearing that up for me.

[FrykillerHoNn]

@shane87smith dude its the demo.. not actual game

[Proudcanadian21]

the peasants are so much friendly in wc 2 :P

[mordeth86]

this was the best and to me its still one of the best games ever made

[soulridder]

i prefered elven archer to rifle man....

[INFERNO120945]

Starcraft was made 3 years after this and is 3257483092759023 times better :)

[Morroku3]

lol if i recall.. level one for humans your got 3 footman and were only able to make a barraks, farms, and town halls. Not elven archers and lumber mills...

[abominacije]

@Morroku3 yes, elven alliance was secured in one of the following missions.

[cyberdaemon]

@abominacije In a second mission you go and rescue them, just like in Orc mission 2 you go and rescue trolls and Zuljin.

[yowowdeath]

can you still buy warcraft 2 in the stores??

[Gunnyster]

@yowowdeath actually i think so, they have a new battlenet versoin that works alright on newer computers

[ridely700]

@yowowdeath wtf its 2010 no you cant

[300Z31]

@ridely700 In fact you can. Well, I know Wal-Mart at least has the three pack with I, II, and III for like $40.

[LOLlhuntsman]

@300Z31 Is it the Battlechest? I thought it only had WCIII and The Expansion.

[300Z31]

@LOLlhuntsman The one I saw at Wal-Mart had all three games. WCI, II, and, III.

[LOLlhuntsman]

@300Z31 Maybe the one I saw has it, but only has a little picture of it on the back, in the corner.

[Verickka]

How do you get warcraft 2 working on your computer now days? :S

[speedybastard2]

luls @ the shitty music

[Milzililili99]

the good old warcraft 2 :D

[insertaccname]

I remember this game when it came back, I loved it, much better than w3

[skaterockerloc]

dam so boring watch a noob play... good game tho

[xplodetrain]

was the oil resource used for your navy?

cant remember that far back...

[Philly2002]

player is retarded?

[N4ll1fy]

MY IPOD HAS BETTER GRAPX LOEL

Idiots.

[Mcyoussef]

@N4ll1fy you must be 10 years old...

[milliondollarniki]

@Mcyoussef You clearly have not yet grasped the concept of sarcasm..

[TiggyReece]

@N4ll1fy and your point is?...

[N4ll1fy]

@TiggyReece

My point was that I was making fun of the idiots complaining about the graphics of a 15 year old game. However, seeing as most people that post on youtube are complete idiots like you guys, a lot of people took it seriously. Look up irony so you won't look like a moron next time.

[TiggyReece]

@N4ll1fy ok i apologise for been an idiot.

[Darien500]

@N4ll1fy i agree. You have to be a complete and utter idiot to not realise that its a 15 year old game when graphics were all mainly 2d no models are gonna have what today is shit grapics. I think C@C or WC3 were the first RTS's to resemble 3d graphics

[Carsf100]

this was my favorite warcraft game!

[landslide85]

the midi music rocks proper hard

[Agent1W]

Too bad you can't contract a lot of the fighting work to heroes and adventurers...oh wait, wrong game lol

[TheSiiliOnu]

Heroes, night elves and undeads came in 3? The games i played when i was little were SC, Age of Empires, NFS:HP3 and Red Alert. I actually got to know about this game when WC3 came out.

[jeanpaulagumon13]

hey how do i play the game i have done the setup but what now can you tell me please?

[gabba1gabba1hey]

i will never forget the footmans voice... he sounds like such a dick.

[EliteDoomer]

It's sad that this was allowed to turn into WoW and steal all my gamer friends :(

[cf1613]

its cool when they release Warcraft 1 & 2 on psp but the gameplay looks like the gameplay on PC it'll pwn on psp =)

[cf1613]

nice graphics

[stickerhppy]

there is something wrong in level 1 of the human campaign, there should be no elven archers and you cannot construct elven mills lol

[popeyeshemmasving]

btw, haven't the guy whos playing heard of right-klicking?

[MultiShark33]

those who made warcraft got millions!!!!

[ImStillFlyinHigher]

lol....i remember my brother and i first bought this game 5 years ago at Dollar Tree......

[zecocolt]

i still remeber play the shit out of this game when it first came out :D

[Andriaccini]

F*cking good times when I played this...too bad this doesn't work on Vista...

[TheNoobsWay]

@Andriaccini It is called "Service Pack"...

[gronndar]

@Andriaccini sorry to late reply, but are you sure this doesent work at vista? i mean...i have vista and this game works, altough i have bnet edition, still it works and thats all what matters

[Andriaccini]

Where did you download this? If I try to run it it says: ''This program is not compatible with current operating system''.

[gronndar]

just bought it from store few months ago, it cost 2 € so obviously i didn't download it

[AgoIterum]

Lol the first Starcraft was 1998, all you have to do is check Wikipedia or something before arrogantly stating wrong facts.

[Lm3ntz]

argh i can't play this in w7 64 bit? :'(

[noxaeterna25]

Grab DOSbox, and run it as admin :) I have 64 bit w7, and the first game seems to run fine.

[ShadowHeartsFlight07]

I still ahve the CD but no CD key.. the game brochure is gone (stupid brothers)

[eatmygritsnow]

wow this game was made after starcraft to..wow lol

[dakarus]

@eatmygritsnow no.....this game was made in 1995 starcraft was made in 1998

[eatmygritsnow]

@dakarus um no thats the expansion. the fist starcraft was 94

[ffhk1]

@eatmygritsnow Wow no the first WARCRAFT was made in 94 you noob.. starcraft came out in 98 (i know, i got it the week it came out cause it came out a day after my birthday xD)

[HaloFikus]

hmm reminds me of age of empires 1 xD

[ArmsmanX]

OMG he receives 100 gold for each bag xD

[noobysoup]

I actually like the gameplay of war 1 and war 2 more than war 3

[Akanemage]

@noobysoup yeah but the graphic sucks ass

[noobysoup]

@Akanemage I agree i liked sc more than wc2

[Akanemage]

@noobysoup well theres a big graphic different between wc2 and wc3 i cant even think of it damn today i pod got better graphics

[noobysoup]

@Akanemage Lol screw ipod , compare ff13 to this...while you're at it. But let's compare old rts to rts nowadays. Why not compare them to two blizzard games. Go look at SC2 graphics and now this xD

[Akanemage]

@noobysoup yeah but think of its size^^

[casboi]

@noobysoup i so agree with u really. in my opinion 3 sucks its not as good as warcarft 1 or 2 . warcraft 3 isnt like 1 or 2 where there is only humans and orcs.

[DestroyerOx]

@noobysoup O.o why?

[TiggyReece]

@noobysoup i actually think war 2 looks better than any other

[Baracuda1337]

@noobysoup Mate, i agree for WC2 but i HATE WC1 controls!

[shadowtygo]

@noobysoup me too i wish there was a mod where War3 would be more RTS like instead of Rtsrpg

[ShockinglyRelaxing]

this game is terrible

[juuzo89]

This game is old.. and it was AWESOME.. you are terrible nab

[ShockinglyRelaxing]

compare it to warcraft 3 and you will see. warcraft 3 and tft are the best warcraft games

[juuzo89]

Compare the relase year with game quality and this game is like 100 times better than WC 3 or TFT

[ShockinglyRelaxing]

I didn't say i hate this game i am addicted to wc3 and tft but this game is not that good

[Aleksandaraadm]

@juuzo89 True but graphic is better in wc 3 and TFT

[Shaeam]

@juuzo89 Not necessarily

They're both good games in their own respects...

Warcraft 3 Produced one of the best editors i've ever had the pleasure of working with... It was Fast, Easy, and Effective... Even better then the Starcraft 2's in my opinion.

Wereas...

Warcraft 2 was very much so ahead of it's time for a RTS... And without this blizzard wouldn't have WoW nor Warcraft 3, this was the spark that started it all (Lets face it, Wc1 wasn't half as good.)

[horiahunter]

@Shaeam its esier to work with the sc 1 editor but thats my option

[jan12ka12]

@Shaeam yeah i gues you are right ;(

[wertyuil1]

@Shaeam why do you think its better than sc 2's?

im not starting an argument i just wanna know

[Shaeam]

@wertyuil1 Well theres quite a few reasons, actually. (These might be quite a few comments)

Firstly, the map editor in warcraft 3 is much simpler which might not sound like alot but it is. I've used quite a few editors and still haven't grasped majority of the SC2 editor. You might think this makes the Starcraft 2 editor better, well it doesn't and i'll explain why in detail.

Majority of the things you can do in Starcraft 2's editor is doable in Warcraft 3's editor

[Shaeam]

@wertyuil1 And can be done easier for the most part, sure theres the fancy new UI elements... But honestly, they're not really necessary and with quite a bit of work you can easily produce a simple UI using JASS.

Secondly, much like I said above... It over complicates even the most trivial of things...

How long does it take me to create a single Warcraft 3 Hero (Minus abilities)? 1 or 2 minutes.

How long does it take me to create a single Starcraft 2 Hero? roughly about 7 or 8

[Shaeam]

@wertyuil1 minutes, and theres really no benefit to doing it honestly. Starcraft 2 advertised having support for custom stats, while its true they did, its sloppy as hell. You can have a maximum of 4 stats on display at anytime before the rest of the stats are invisible hidden beneath the UI.

Not to mention all the extra work that goes into making heroes even possible and its still emulated sloppier. And lets face it, majority of maps use Heroes in some way or form.

[Shaeam]

@wertyuil1 thirdly starcraft 2 has a SERIOUS lack of resources right now, although this really isnt the editors fault, it's worth mentioning. Over the years Warcraft 3 has amassed quite a few resources, branching off from the default resources. Hell, theres even Starcraft models made for Warcraft 3.

Fourthly, i'll explain even more about the hero "support"... The inventory system is the sloppiest thing i've ever seen. Ever. Theres mods on Warcraft 3 that use better inventory systems

[Shaeam]

@wertyuil1 made by using JASS, and thats rather sad honestly. (For an example see TKoK or The Kingdom of Kalron)

the final issue I have for it includes a flaw with starcraft 2 the actual game.

Obscure maps are hidden into obscurity forever. This is a HUGE problem, quite a few of the best maps on warcraft 3 was obscure at some point or are still obscure. The popularity system and the way the servers always host every map flood out the obscurities.

At least in Warcraft 3 there was

[Shaeam]

@wertyuil1 only a set amount of games being hosted every hour so the chance of finding an obscure (but still good) map wasnt half as rare as it is in starcraft 2.

And thats my thoughts on it, went on for quite a while there hopefully that clarifies why I personally prefer the World Editor over the Galaxy Editor.

Don't get me wrong, Starcraft 2 is still a good game. But honestly, the editor is a step backwards in my honest of opinions.
