Warcraft2 is probably the greatest game of all time. I think it first came
out sometime in 95-96. The concept of the game is so great that it is still a really
popular game on the net. Basically, the game is about continuous battles between the
humans and a race known as Orcs. In multiplayer, the Orcs definately have the advantage
over humans mainly because of a little spell called "bloodlust". This spell
changes the tides of entire games. In other words, the first player who gets bloodlust, if
used skillfully, is going to win. I can't really see why anyone would want to play as
humans. The only advantage they have is with mages. A well placed mage is about as
effective as a couple bloodlusted ogres.
Sometime in the next couple of months, Blizzard will be coming out with a
new verison of Warcraft2. It's called Platinum. I am not sure what is going to be so much
different about this game other than the fact that you will be able to play for free over
battle.net. I hope that they do something about bloodlust, either tone it down a little or
take it out completely. This will mean that the Kali Warcraft2 channel is going to get
smaller. I don't know why anyone would want to play War2 on a slow server when you can
play for free on a fast one.
