Popularized the Warcraft Franchise
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne expands upon the widely successful Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos by introducing new heroes, units, and items. The game itself is well worth the purchase because it is an excellent example of a well polished RTS but Warcraft III truly seperates itself from most other RTSs due to its ever expanding gaming environment. Warcraft III is essentially split up into 2 games, the standard RTS with a ladder ranking system that keeps track of your wins and loses (unfortunately) and something called "Custom Games". Custom Games are maps that are not neccesarily created by Blizzard themselves but are actually created by players who want to play a specific type of game such as Tower Defenses (where you build towers to prevent waves of units from reaching a certain point), Capture the Flag, and much much more. As a result of this, this game truly doesn't get boring because there are always people making new maps that introduce innovative and interesting styles of gameplay. If you've ever wondered why World of Warcraft became so immensely popular (besides being an outstanding MMORPG) you can simply check out this game because you won't be disappointed. Guaranteed!
