Intimate multiplayer
How’s Warcraft 3 multiplayer holding up after all these years? Frankly, the answer depends on the experience you are looking for.
Compared to most modern RTS games (including later Blizzard titles like StarCraft 2), Warcraft 3 is decidedly small – you’re limited to 90 units at a time, compared to 200 units at a time in StarCraft 2.
For some people, this is unacceptable because it’s hard to go back to such small multiplayer skirmishes. However, those who find modern RTS games a little too fast-paced and crowded might enjoy a return to a simpler era of multiplayer.

While in-game missions seem like a matter of course nowadays, Warcraft 3 was one of the first games to implement them. Although each level gives you specific objectives that must be achieved, you can take on optional missions from different characters along the way.
The rewards for these missions typically help you level up heroes and advance your army. Plus, these provide a fun incentive to further explore the map beyond the narrow confines of your mission.
If nothing else, these missions are noteworthy because they inspired the mission system in WoW!
Mods-an-abundance
Warcraft 3 offers many great mods for the enjoyment of the players. And while previous entries also had great mods, this game really takes it to a whole new level!
For example, one of the most famous mods for Warcraft 3 was the original Defense of the Ancients (DoTA). The game mode was unveiled at official events and became insanely popular, planting the seeds for the next explosion of MOBA-style games.
That’s right – you might never have had games like League of Legends if it weren’t for the popularity of Warcraft 3.
