It's the early-3D-era graphics.

2002 is early 3D now? It had been around for a full decade at that point. Regardless, WC3 graphics were fine, albeit not up to the standard set by 2. Orc faction art design in particular was pretty weak across the board, partly as a function of them being retconned from bloodthirsty monsters to noble savages. Undead were pretty kewl though.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
What's so bad about Warcraft 3?

At the time they were hyping the infernal as their own faction but in the end they were just a handful of enemy units in the campaign or summoned by items.

I told you that you would one day pay for that Blizzard, I told you!

WC3 art style infected fantasy gaming with goofy oversized gear and elephantiasis limbs for the next decade. Everyone who doesn't harbour deep hatred for that abomination should be fed to warthogs.

The units in Warcraft 3 are distinctive from one another, exactly because of the models and the color palette, and the way the models interact with the background.

You suffer from chronic shit taste, and there is no cure. You have to be quite braindead to like the looks of Warcraft 2, where everything looks like copy pasted jpegs with shitty perspective on top of a badly tessellated background

But their being distinguishable from one another is clearly not from having a shitty goofy caricature art style, because strategy games with good art styles, like Age of Empires 2, still have easily distinguishable units.

But for different reasons.

Starcraft BW is superior to SC2 in every aspect.

Sure it is. And WC2 is superior to WC3 in every aspect while WC1 is superior to WC2 in every aspect.

Because this is my nostalgia. There are many like it but goddamn this one is mine.

Funny how you "it's just nostalgia lolol" cretins fail to see how you simply fall into the other extreme.

But no, of course, as opposed to the nostalgia fags you have a clear and objective mind and you alone can see how everything new is better than anything old.

I was on board until you talked shit about Warcraft 2.

I still can't believe the main menu runs on google chrome.

Web apps are a plague. Soon even toilets will use chromium or node.js to run "apps" depending on five billion java script libraries just to flush water.
Soon?

I heard that the best measure of civilization is the distance between where you live and the final resting place of your bowel movements. So of course Google is on the right track, but they need to partner with SpaceX next so we can all send our poop to space. Hell, Reforged can take a ride too.

That is actually 5-year-old me's idea of garbage disposal in the near future.
I always was a fan of dumping all trash in one big pit and nuking it. Much cheaper than orbit insertion @ $4k/kg. And eco-friendly!
