Quote:Oh yes, and as you might imagine, I was severely disappointed in the Orc campaign in Frozen Throne. It felt like an MMO, meaning "boring". I mean seriously. They TAUNTED me with those structures and never having a chance to actually build anything. I just ran around a map killing things, and in a RTS where individual unit play is rather boring except in the form of group strategy, the whole point of the game, it was actually worse than playing an MMO with only one player. I only really played it to see the story, but they kinda screwed me out of the orc "introducing new buildlings and units" stages that they were supposed to include. At least I saw the units...
I actually agree about this one, I also got bored during that campaign... orcs are my least favorite race in WC3, and a whole RPG-style campaign with them... I got bored, quickly. Sure, it's probably the best WC3 RPG ever, but it's still an RPG running in an RTS engine... and at least those Custom map RPGs have multiplayer to entertain you, even if they aren't as large and complex as the Orc campaign.
However, I liked those levels in WC1 and SC... I think part of it was that the WC1 and SC ones were challenging and did require thought, while the WC3 ones were easy as usual for that game. WC3 also had a lot more of it, thanks to that expansion Orc campaign... but I liked those levels in WC1 and SC. Some of the Installation missions were pretty cool... as for the WC1 ones, there were only a few of them, so they were a nice change of pace every once in a while. It was also fun seeing a whole new set of enemies. :)
