Absolutely excited to play all the custom maps again. Tons of awesome tower defenses, line tower wars, footman frenzy and party maps like uther party and who is the weakest link. Who remembers Don't move the tauren? xD
I just hope connecting to the online features gets an update so it feels a bit faster and less outdated than in StarCraft Remastered.
Would even be more excited about a Diablo 2 Remastered!

I remember seeing screenshots of wc3 alpha during development, and the graphics looked similar. Maybe this stuff has been sitting around, unused all this time.

Call me paranoid, but what is the chance, that they made it just to acquire some IP from custom map makers? There is a famous Dota story, after which Blizzard decided to add a clause to its Starcraft II world editor, that you grant them license to anything you create in it. If a similar clause will be silently added to Reforged, that would be bad.

Looks amazing. WC3 has outsize influence on the online gaming landscape. It'd be interesting to dissect how much of the design choices of MOBAs are holdovers of the constraints of the WC3 world editor.

I played a ton of this game on lowest resolution at the time because I didn't have a very powerful graphics card at the time. I can't wait enjoy its glory once again!

It's a remaster in the same spirit as Starcraft Remastered. Higher resolution textures, higher polygon counts, better animation, higher resolution options. Same game.

It was announced at BlizzCon, which is happening these days.
