BACK TO THE ROOTS! - Warcraft 2 - Grubby

I see, so they finally made WC3 Reforged with good graphics

i love warcraft 2, pure nostalgia.

Sorry, WC 3 is perfection.

I mean, pc was easy. Must be revansh😊

Come play online, there's a competitive scene out there!

The AI couldn't deal with those starting resources.

Love Warcraft 2. Been playing it over 20 years!

honestly pretty terrible playing, would have got wiped out against a better computer.. but still fun watching cuz this game was amazing for its time

you may laugh at the select units tip, but in warcraft 1 you had to hold ctrl to be able to select few units and only four at most.

I would love to see a let's play of the WC2 campaign. :)

Stuck peons, sleeping grunts, amazing xD!

The visuals have aged well. If they make it 16:9 and added some QoL for controls I would replay it.

Great memories with Warcraft 2. I was recently inspired to go all the way back to WC1 but will definitely be hitting up WC2 next ⚔⚔

Yo Grubby i need to know who does your thumbnails, they are sooo clean man!

Will you play Chronicles of Azeroth when it comes out?

If you want the real experience do the campaign then play online!

On low resources! The roots of the roots! The right way to go if you’re patient!

I first got Tides Of Darkness on the original Playstation. It ran horribly and the more units on the map, the slower the game ran regardless of the speed you put it at. I remember seeing my friend play the original Warcraft on his computer at the time and was immediately enamored. It took our family many more years until we had a PC (which may have been a blessing as I'm pretty sure all my previous friend's computer use was done through DOS prompt) which was likely the e-machines running windows 95. Eventually I got Warcraft II Battle dot net edition and was completely in love with the fact that I could play with my friend down the street through LAN. Though coordinating that was tough since we didn't have smart phones and connecting to the internet took up the landline. There was definitely a time period though where I got mildly serious about getting good at the competitive maps. I never really did get serious about playing online though. My parents were never too happy about me taking up the phone line just to play games.

I made a video game while learning programming from Harvard CS50 course, it is called footmen frenzy vCS50. I will write the link in the comments when they upload it. It is a simple and short one and includes sprites from Warcraft, you will 100% know which parts are from which WC game

i have benn playing it recently, im currently trying beat 7 computers, its good to rush but you can also def but you need good template for towers

It was the first PC game I ever got on my family's first PC, when I was 13.

Nice Grubster, i was waiting for you to go back to WCII :) The game that started my love for the franchise and my first PC game ever

The only thing I love more than hearing other people's WC2 peon impression is showing off my own.

This was my first pc game, this brings back so many memories lol

YESSSS

Best game - need Re- Re Forget

XD Brought back memorries

WC2 by Grubby! <3 <3 <3

Old game, but still looks nice.

This game was the heart and soul of Warcraft - not whatever garbage abomination the series has morphed into now.

The story was simple, but really good. The atmosphere was incredible - it was very dark, but cut with a lot of humor...similar to Warhammer, but different enough to feel novel.

The humans were these noble, stalwart footmen and knights standing against death.

The orcs were bloodthirsty demon worshippers.

Needless to say, Warcraft 3 decided to go "noble savage" on the Orcs and everything went downhill in WoW.

This is the definition of the whole series . The music , the audio is just fantastic . The cartoony looks are amazing . I will never forget this game or ever delete it from my pc .

i love this game, i still do casual speedruns of the campaign every now and then. lmao

hahaha im crying that was funny af

still a wonderful game

How do you even play this game now? Some type of online emulator?

Funny tip - if u hit the wood 2 times before building Town Hall u ll get 100 wood

WC2 had better audio

My mom loves playing wc2. I still do too pretty regularly but now I've been trying to learn wc3 which is a whole different story...

GOOOOD! it's so nostalgic :"( Go PvP plz :)

Sweet! I've been playing the Dark Portal campaignmyself, currently struggling thru Human mission 4. Man the skirmish ai needs an update huh lol.

I remember borrowing this at the local library and burning the CD. I quickly turned to other games, including WC3 eventually, but my dad (not particularly tech savvy, it's the only computer game he's ever played) kept playing WC2 for ages - probably all the way up until like 5 years ago.

The voices are epic

This game was amazing. Can we get Warcraft 2 Reforged?

...did your sound card work perfectly?

Grubstar, thanks for this!😄I guess this was in reply to my request of you playing some matches of WC2! Wc2 is my favorite game ever .Eeven though I've playing WC3 since ROC came out in 2002, I still call myself a Wc2 player that also plays WC3. WC2 is the greatest pure RTS ever, IMO. I remember back in 1996 when I was still a teen I couldn't wait until after school to go to LAN and play WC2. Sure, internt back in 1996 was so terrible that online gaming didn't exist, but playing one-on-one always an amazing experience. I played all the iconic 90's games like Legend of Zelda, Sim City, Street Fighter 2, etc.(what 90's kid doesn't remember SuperNintendo?🤣) But WC2 is just a very, very special and unique game that we'll never see again. The introduction of the hero concept to WC3 was very interesting, and I love playing hero, but if we are honest it killed a lot of the real RTS element of WC2. The tiny armies and uokeep cost of WC3 and the fact that heroes scale up so powerfully made strategy and macro-management of secondary importance, and that is never good on an RTS. WC3 is iconic and I love playing it, but WC2 is the true Warcraft RTS and WC3 is more of an RPG/DOTA type game.

Warcraft 2 Campaign series?

This brings back good memories love ur videos

I mean its cool but how can warcraft 3 come after this? Insane improvement.

I love the soundtrack on WC2
