Warcraft 3 Review Part 2 Single Player Part A Human Campaign

The layout of the Human Campaign.
As every player who plays a game for the first time, I went into the campaign and accidentally skipped the tutorial. While I was banging my head on the desk, the first mission took me into the story of Arthas, the young prince of Lordaeron. The story starts when Arthas went to Strahnbrad to meet up with his superior paladin and teacher, Uther the Lightbringer.  




















When I originally intended to play the first mission only for a few minutes, I ended up spending the entire day trying to finish the campaign. As expected from the creators of Starcraft, Blizzard implemented their usual COMPLICATED-AS-HELL missions. At first, you control Arthas and a small group of footmen. Soon, you have to start building your bases from the ground up. A few missions later, Blizzard will throw in very pressuring factors such as

  • YO, YOU GOT  45 MINUTES TO FINISH THIS. GOGOGOGOGO YOU GOT THIS!
  • HEY, THERE IS SOME IDIOT TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE. GOT TO KILL 100 GUYS. OTHER THAN THAT, LET ME THROW IN THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING EXCEPT A FEW STUFF AND THE ENEMY HAS A FULLY OPERATIONAL BASE. HAVE FUN!
  • DEFEND THIS PLACE FOR 45 MINUTES! THE ENEMY IS GONNA SWARM YOU EVERY 2 AND A HALF MINUTES. FIGHT TO THE END!
The Human Campaign tells the story of how Arthas went after the orcs to meeting Kel'Thuzad at Brill to tracking Mal'Ganis to eventually claiming Frostmourne. After Arthas killed the king, Jaina took her people and sailed to Kalimdor due to a Prophet. 
ARTHAS! Have you gone insane?

The claiming of Frostmourne and the beginning of the corruption. 

DEFEND THIS TOWN FROM THE SCOURGE! FIGHT TO THE LAST MAN!

Hey Muradin. Whatca doing here homie?
