  • I love warcraft 2. i used to play it every sunday after the school... but i lost my playing disc and i've never played again.. it's awful that most of the people that play Wow have never played this game or Orcs and human, couse they missed a lot of fun and history of the original game.. thank god i'm from the old guard

    If anybody knows where can i get the game.. please tell me

  • "Lord Terenas" `?? Isnt he a king`??

  • Hint: Add a black box, 75% transparency, behind any text that is not in front of a monochrome background.

  • i like warcraft 2 and 3 but war2 gives me more memories of back then, i just love the music at the end of this vid it reminds me when i was 7,i use to play it every day

  • but if you look for a great lore,which has the power to fill in you emotions (and indeed to touch you, in your feelings,sometimes), than try STARCRAFT,especially the episode has edited the last July...

  • I remember watching dad playing this...good times :D

  • this game was awesome, IMO the only bad thing is that they werent any differences in units besides the spells of the units

  • i like warcraft 2 better than warcraft 3, but this game has only 1 downfall, when you run out of recources your f*cked.

  • BEST GAME IN THE WORLD

  • @FreeeeS NO;it's WINGS OF LIBERTY, and it will be HEARTH OF THE SWARM soon...

  • @jimraynorful Let's hope it will indeed be soon... :) Can't wait any longer...

  • music in warcraft 2 is 10 times better than in Wc3.

    What I miss in wc3 are the ships, submarines and walls xD

  • Warcraft I and II had good stories, lore and overall atmosphere. They ruined it with Warcraft III and WoW.

  • lol warcraft 2 cinematics make me laugh

  • no.

  • large army!? oh come on put dawn of war dark crusade insane battle to search and u see big armys

  • wait, where did that opening cinematic in your video come from? What part of the game was that in? I don't recall it....anyone give me a hint?

  • Is it really a good day to die?

    Best game ever made :)

  • We never get bored of classic games as this. Only some poor players or terrible liar would say so to catch attention. aka. sabauun01.

  • ask the corsair in broodwar lol just joking

  • wait Tarren Mill a Shoreside town? o.o

  • Of course... Didn't you know???

  • eeeer well in WoW Its a Hillside town xD just off the Entrance in to Alterac

  • Azeroth didn't always exist as we know it in WoW, boundaries, terrain and cities have been moved around bit by bit with each new game

  • WC2 > WC3 & WoW

    Long Live WarCraft before it became mainstream and another cliché fantasy game.

  • @Biankito indeed

  • tarren mill...hillsbrad...oh man this is so......

  • Easy level.

  • lord terenas .... how old this guy was?

  • warcraft 2 is much better than warcraft 3 in my opinion

  • is better in one thing, its makes you feel that you are in a real war because for example in one level you are playing in quelthalas, and the next one you control gilneas.

    But warcraft has a better lore in my opinion

  • Hell Yeah!

  • @czeimszky I remember i spent like 60$ for WC2 back in like 1996 and then money had different value.And now people are angry when price is even 40$ :D But this game was one of the most meaningful for me.The Warcraft 3 was disappoingment in a way that i expected rather a remake of WC2 than any "new story, million more races and so on" :(

  • @cyberdaemon I agree you;the idea to put importance in single heroes and something else was good,but if in the very first campaign I was excited,the more I played the game,the more I felt something was wrong...

  • @czeimszky I would't know, I only played wc3 and World of Warcraft. I want to play wc1 and 2 but it won't work on my windows 7 computer :(

  • Where do i find this game nowadays?

  • Gul'dan. Gul'dan betrayed the Horde.Ner'zhul stayed on Draenor.

  • BEST GAME BLIZZARD HAS EVER MADE to put it pluntly

  • man, this game changed a lot from 2 to 3

  • lol lothar copyed all xD

  • copied nothing, wrote it myself

  • ok so ive finaly got used to warcraft III-wow story but i dno what happend befor warcraft III, anyone care to explaine a little?

  • When the orcs began to use dark magic and drink demon blood they where ready to conquer the worlds beyond their own, so they went through the dark portal, where they where held back by azerothian forces under command of Lothar, later when the orcish clans had united under Blackhand, they where succesfull in breaking the human lines, and eventually taking stormwind, the forces of azeroth(aka stormwind) fled across the sea. To find aid of they king beyond the sea.

  • Where Lothar and Khadgar found Lordaeron, ruled by King Terenas. They brought tales of the suffering they had faced at the hands of the orcs. Thus the Alliance of Lordaeron was formed to break the upcomming onslaught. Both sides where readying for war. The horde built warships to carry them beyond the sea. And when they landed it began. The Alliance held back at Hillsbrad and the Orcs went east, to aerie peak. The humans quickly followed.

  • What the fuck is wrong with u

  • The Orcs assaulted the mountains of the dwarfs that lived there, with the help of their new allies, the forrest trolls they where fighting. But the gryphons proved a menance to the orcs and trolls. They hold back the horde untill the humans arrived. But it was a trap, the orcs that assaulted the dwarves was merely a small band, and the real army went straight to quel'thalas. The elves where attacked, and the humans quickly entered the battle. The humans and elves stood against the orcs.

  • But the orcs had a secret weapon, Zuluhed had found an artifact to sway the red dragons under there own command and with it, burned the forrests of quel'thalas. As the horde was victorious, they would led there troops to the Capital city of lordaeron. During this time the treacherous warlock Ner'zhul took half the forces of the horde and fled to the tomb of sargeras. With the orcish forces diminished and the reinforcements cut off by the nation of Stromgarde they where lost.

  • They fled to back to Khaz'modan and sent one of their clans into the Tomb to stop Ner'zhul.

    The once mighty horde was deminished, but they would not surrender. At the blackrock spire, the last bastion of hope for the horde they stood ready for the last battle. The Alliance had liberated Khaz'modan and the forces of Ironforge quickly joined the alliance to finish the battle once and for all. And so it began

  • The battle began when the forces of the alliance where taken by surprise. Cutting of Lothar's forces. The Horde Leader, Doomhammer met Lothar in melee combat. The battle raged on for a long time but Lothar, who was old and weary of the war fell before the black and powerfull hammer of Orgrim Doomhammer. But his Lieutenant Turalyon who proved to be just as tactical and brave as Lothar, picked up the greatsword of the fallen Leader, and rallied their people into battle once more.

  • Enraged and Grieving over the loss of their charismatic leader the humans slew the orcish horde forever, pushing the remnants back into the cursed portal. With the Portal destroyed, the battle was finally over. And the Lands of Azeroth belang to their native brothers and sisters once again.

    This was based on the Book : The Tides of Darkness

  • i miss the elven archers working with the humans... dwarven riflemen just screw it up..

  • are these still the original voices from WC1?

    sry, but i have the german version of WC2

  • aah memories :D

  • i love the songs

  • I didn't see it mentioned that not all high elves are now blood elves, only the ones that followed prince Kael and Illidan.

    There are still a few high elves around in WoW.

  • great :D

    remember to add the part about alterac as you promised ^^ (not literlay promised but... just add it :P)

  • I still have the War2 demo on a disc drive that I bought at convention in the 90's :)

  • Cool im making an advanced machinima of warcraft 2 atm^^

  • Another good video. Are you going to continue making these? It would be cool to see the whole story.

  • I have given it much thought and I've decided to continue with it, however, it will be a while, since I have a lot of other stuff on my mind right now. But if you subscribe I can promise a third episode uploaded soon.

  • thanks for posting this

  • i love warcraft 2

  • The game was released in the early 90's, what did you expect, Crysis? In my opinion, and I know many people agree with me, WarCraft 2 is so much better than the rest of the WarCraft games. And don't come telling me about graphics, because I won't give a damn.

  • souljah boi tell em...

  • I agree! =

  • @robintheknight WC2 is the best in the series, you got that right!

  • @robintheknight Even though people like this game, Imo we shouldn't go into that old one; "All hail and praise the DOS MARIO! Mario ftw and all new games suck lol." I'm more than sick 'n bored into that.

    Respect games as different entities, DO NOT compare them. I understand ofc that War2 was and is a nostalgic game, I played it myself more than a few times, but we should not hate the present and live in lingering past, even if it made us look old school.

    Accept it, War3 & War2 are good games!

  • @TheTwilightUnicorn yeah,you're right,but you have to admit that in Warcraft 3 and what followed they have chosen a style too "cartoonish"...Tides of Darkness(great title,poor game) could have been the starting point for a lore as great as THE LORD OF THE RINGS(at least the film),but Blizzard failed in this...instead, in Starcraft it has been created something magnificent which improves in the time...

  • @jimraynorful True enough, WarCraft 3 is quite cartoonish of graphics, there's no denying that. Still, I feel that the lore's depth and magnificency depends quite much on the player. Someone might not like it that much, but I confess that I like WarCraft 3's lore and plot.

    Also I must add that you're right about StarCraft, too. I can't wait for the next chapters to come. However, when comparing Star and WarCraft both their plots and gameplay work well, imo. StarCraft just has better graphics.

  • @robintheknight let's say better...the problem in Warcraft saga is that they have passed to one excess to another...first,in Orcs and Human(the 1 episode) there was a poor 2-scheme Good vs Evil,goods and handsomes against evils and uglies...Tides of Darkness didn't change much in this sense...and now,in WOW, they have made a terrible mess in which there are thousands of beings which are everything and the countrary of everything: all this is the same something to little deep,an empty Relativism

  • @robintheknight Graphics to games are like special effects to movies. If story and/or gameplay sucks, the graphics/special effects don't matter! I didn't like the way they made story in Warcraft 3 and above all, i hate the WoW gameplay. It looks like they got ideas from Quake where people strafe-jump and bunny-hop all the time!

  • What, did you think Blizzard decided to make a game called Warcraft and then randomly decided to add the number 3 at the end?

  • @jerhinus today's generation is full of ungrateful illiterate fucks.

  • @jerhinus youre an asshole

  • @horiahunter Yea, truly I was an asshole back then, 13 year old kid..I remember the days I was a douchebag.. Well,now that I got the ocasion,let me apologise to everyone for my affirmation..

    I am deeply sory for my stupidity back then,and for the fact that I commented without thinking..

    I hope ye guys can forgive me for bashing such a great game, and let's hope that 13 year olds,will learn from my mistakes :)

    Peace guys, and \m/

  • Actually you should've complained right after you played The Frozen Throne, there's where the blood elves come in for the first time.

  • Well, to be honest in TFT (The Frozen Throne)the blood elves did not choose the horde as allies. They sided with Illidan in order to survive but they Illidan i not part of the horde nor the alliance (Though in some parts of the Campaign Illidan did aid the Alliance)! =)

  • boo alliance fag, horde rules, well old horde, not WOW horde nor w3 fag horde, the good old demonic bloodlusted w1 and w2 horde.

  • Agreed, the old Horde was better, in the days when orcs didn't look like friggin' douchebags.

  • il buy your game for 50$!!!!!

  • Dude, you can get the game for like 2$ on an Internet store.

  • i think i cant cuz i cant fid it!!

  • Then just buy it from the Blizzard Stort, because you're not getting my game.

  • do you have the part when your destroying alterac???

  • Sorry, I only have two parts so far, but Alterac is one of my favourite nations, so if I continue this little series I'll definately have that one included.

  • loved this game one of my top ten in my whole life but the ai was prolaly the worst of any strategy game they would get stuck on trees and mountains or when collecting reasources the would bring stuff back at buildings that wernt as close as the others but still awsome game awsome video

  • the briefing music and the narrator's voice rock :D

  • Indeed, they should've kept him in the game all the way. :(

  • do more please, these bring back some real good memories :)

  • ah the music and sound effects can;'t be beat,. brings me right back, could it really be 12 years ago?!

  • a bit of laggy dont u think?

  • I know.

  • ahh good times good times

  • ahh... i remember when i played this mission when i where a kid, i love this old game, and almost all the great heroes in wow is there some old stories about here... good game...

  • Eh, no, they are high elves. It was after the invasion of the Scourge that prince Kael'Thas Sunstrider named his people the blood elves in honor of their fallen.

  • no he's right they are high elves-- blood elves don't come around until warcraft 3

  • thats right, but they came actually in the expansion Frozen Throne, high elves remained in the alliance even to that point, when they converted to blood elves.

    personally, with wc3 I felt the series went downhill.

  • yes i felt the same cuz i played this game so much i guess i was jaded with the 3 installment but graphics were nice for its time

  • @DayTripperID

    why r they high? too much pot?

  • holy shit i forgot how long it was till i actually played this game!

  • no offence, but if your computer's lagging from recording warcraft ii, then it's waaaaay past time for an upgrade.

  • Wow, that computer must be an ancient relic...

  • Not really, it's the recorder that screws it up.

  • huuii bei WC2 muss der pC zohemlich schwitzen^^

  • elves are weak sauce , 40hp

  • aww the rescue missions were always the best ^^

  • wow this video bring back memories to me.

    still reakon the second last level on the human campaign is the hardest, with all those tribes that you have to eradicate

  • I can't seem to find a recorder which doesn't wierdly freak out with a low fps when playing WC2 either...It's annoying...

  • Tell me about it, it annoys me to the death.

  • Try the recording programs from Camtasia Studios, never had any problems with it. Only downside is it's a 30 day shareware... then you pay :(

    Good movie by the way, love the W2 music. Did you know that if you stuck the W2 disc into a stereo it played the game music :D

    ...parents thought I had the strangest taste in music...

  • The damn trolls and ogres deserted the Horde later on.

  • Isnt Tarren Mill Forsakens?

  • Have you even played WarCraft II? If not, then know that all of Hillsbrad and Alterac belonged to the Alliance during this time, including Tarren Mill and Durnholde Keep. When it comes to previous WarCraft games, WoW has absolutely no part or meaning in them whatsoever.

  • Yay!, lets use capital letters at the start of each word because we don't understand grammar.

  • Isnt - Beginning of sentence.

    Tarren Mill - Proper noun.

    Forsakens - Proper noun.

    Granted, missing a few apostrophes, but no need to make an ironic comment about grammar. :)

  • ...human battleships owned the orcish destroyers...

  • has anyone read the Warcraft: The day of the dragon?

  • Yes, I have most WarCraft and StarCraft books in my shelf. :)

  • wow... taur

  • I want a sequel, now!

  • Same here! I want a proper strategy sequel! :<

  • Damned elves. They betrayed alliance few years later :/

    Do not trust anyone but human!

  • True, they didn't aid the humans once things cooled down in their lands and when the elves were in deep shit they expect some help from the Alliance. -_-

  • The humans themselves were in trouble first than the elves, therefore it was to be expected. Everyone who plays WoW as a Horde member with Blood Elves think (lore wise) that the Alliance of Lordaeron betrayed the High Elves but it wasn't so, the Humans had helped the Elves many times in the past, the Blood Elves are on the Horde side because of gameplay reasons, not lore. Horde needed a "cool and attractive" race, the Blood Elves fill that role so it would balance population between factions.

  • The Blood Elves joined forces with Illidan and the nagas, therefore they were cast out of the Alliance for good, so there is no wonder that the Blood Elves may feel a little hate for the Alliance.

  • Yes they did join Illidan and his Naga forces, and it should have remained so. In WoW Blood Elves should have kept as NPCs just like Nagas are, their no different. The Blood Elves in Tempest Keep and the rest of Outlands ARE the real Blood Elves, there were no survivors in Silvermoon after WC3, Blizzard changed the lore to fit them with the Horde, seriously its really retarded. You would ally with someone who for 2 conflicts razed and murdered your people? makes no sense. WoW is not canon.

  • At first I thought you meant the alliance between blood elves and undeads, but of course I see now you meant between the elves and the orcs. Hell, now it makes even less sense why they are on Horde, I never thought of that.

    True, there were no survivors, or that would've been mentioned already in WC3, where Kael actually states that he and his followers are the last of the high elves. The elven lands were completely eradicated and the elves either died or became undead, so WoW makes no sense.

  • You can check any thread about Blood Elves being on horde on the WoW forums, and you have these imbeciles that played WC3 and think thats where all started, which it didn't. They blame Garithos and "human" arrogance for the eventual departure of the elves from the alliance, this isn't so. The humans defended Quel'Thalas against the horde in War2, it was only in the end, when the alliance was falling to the undead that they couldn't help, but the elves just cowardly hid behind their forests.

  • Awesome idea for a video series, looks promising!

    Also. What's the WC2 font you're using?

  • I can't seem to remember, need to look into the old project files for that.

  • god i really want to find this game

  • erm, this is the FIRST TIME i see Warcraft 2. Mm... pretty new to me... haha, i prefer warcraft 3 better. :]

  • This was the first WarCraft game I played, so personally I have difficulties letting go of it. :P

  • this was my favorite game wen i was 8 years old. you own a slow pc beacuse the game work i little slow.

  • It's because of the recorder, it sucks.

  • Every heard of trend gamers? My brother's one. He play games that are in and new. For example WoW. Soon 10 million players. My mission: My scouts have informed you brother Eric is using too much time by the computer. king Dad want you to establish a base outside the house and preparing to shut the game down. XD

  • You will be supplied with an elven wrench to inflict severe damage upon hard drive. Proceed! xD

  • Hummm... This smell... its the smell of Warcraft , can you feel it ?

    Old times , i loved and love this game!

    Lok'tar Ogar!

  • Yeah! For Shadowmoon! For Gul'Dan! :D

  • as much as i liked warcraft 1...i loved this one the most! More levels and it was just more fun in my opinion. Definitely more balanced =].

  • i like warcraft 3 and wow ALOT better >_>

  • Okay.

  • Death to Allys! For the Horde!

  • Hahaha, let's call it a draw? :P

  • I'm laughing at u ;P Ally, lol

  • What? We both know that we allys are a bunch of wusses anyway. xD

  • Hmm, how's WoW going?

  • I don't play WoW much anymore. :/

  • Hmmm ok, but what char u had? BTW, I got a lvl70 Orc Warrior ;P Horde fan n ally slayer! ;P

  • (nub) im playing WOTLK beta lvl 80 troll hunter w00t

  • retard

  • Alliance for the win. D<

  • Hell yeah! :D

  • Amen to that! xD

  • man i cant stand the human voice.. strange i cant stand allys at al.. FOR THE HORDE

  • Everyone to their own side, eh? ;D

    For me it's "Grab a sword and fight the Horde!" :P

  • "to our steel boys!"

  • Haha, yeah. Everyone has their own favourite race, and I could actually go with Horde sometime. :P

  • and u are more than welcome.

  • lol they had a mission like this one for the horde as well where you had to recue zul,jin and his trolls.make make that video if you have time.

  • I haven't really thought much about continuing this, but I will make the orc history too, I promise you that, and some seem to like it, so I'll give it a shot after christmas I hope. :)

  • (continues the messege below)

    Another recomendation could be to include lore-related artwork during the text scenes (this could be, for example, the images of the warcraft II manual (wich you can find in pdf format in the internet) or fan-art, as well as renowed artist masterpieces (as Ciruelo's, Wayne Raynolds and others).

    Its, however, a very good piece and its very encouraging to see that you pull all this up "by youerself". Congratulations!

  • I'm also a lore-tipe person, and i find quite good the work you've done here.

    It would be good, however, to fix some of the "slow motion cameras", as well as to improve the graphic secuence during the Warcraft 2 scene (a way to this could be putting only the center of the screen inside of the video, taking away the left "stats bar" and the fog of war zones).

  • Thanks for the tip, but I haven't found a game cam good enough to either film fast or center its screen. If you could point me towards a recording device that's better than the one I already have (ZD Soft Game Recorder) that would be very helpful. Thanks.

  • oh, loved this game.

  • i am so good in that game but my cd is broken and i love the cd key !! if some one know where whe could buy it!!
