El multijugador de Warcraft 3
Por Pablo, publicada el miércoles 20-3-2002 a las 11:51
En una nota de prensa publicada hoy por Blizzard se ha desvelado como va
a funcionar exactamente el modo multijugador de este esperadísimo juego de estrategia. Contará
con un sistema llamado “Anonymous Matchmaking” que nos permitirá que con solo un par de clicks
el ordenador elija a un oponente de nuestro nivel e inicie una partida. También contará con el
“Arranged Team”, que facilitará mucho las partidas de clanes al automatizar todas las opciones
del juego tales como que todos los jugadores proa defecto usen el Chat aliado y cosas así. Por
supuesto, también contará con otras funciones habituales tales como crear mapas, diseñar
partidas personalizadas contra el ordenador o humanos y otras características que puedes leer en
su nota de prensa oficial.
Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos
New Battle.net
features
Blizzard will be implementing a slew of groundbreaking enhancements to Battle.net®
for Warcraft®III: Reign of Chaos™. The following list highlights many of the new features
designed to streamline your Battle.net experience and help you get the most out of Warcraft
III.
Anonymous Matchmaking
Blizzard's dedication to intuitive interface design
extends to Battle.net. With the efficient anonymous matchmaking system (AMM), players are now
just two clicks away from their next battle.
Players are anonymously matched
based on skill level.
The AMM randomly selects maps based on the players'
preferences.
Players can choose which race to play, or they can let the service
choose for them.
Players can also select the game type, which indicates the number
of allies and opponents.
Other game options are preset by the designers, resulting
in a higher level of play.
The top-ranked players from each gateway will be listed
on our Web site.
Arranged Team
The new custom team option lets players create
games that friends and clanmates can see and easily join.
Players can team up
with friends, and team records are tracked.
Arranged team games count toward the
ladder.
Team members are automatically allied and set to allied chat.
New
Ladder System
Battle.net's ladder system has been revamped for Warcraft III. This new
system promotes active competition and maintains the ladder's integrity.
The
AMM prevents win trading and ensures that high-level players face opponents of similar skill.
Ladder-play prerequisites have been eliminated (everyone who uses the AMM earns a
ladder rank).
Top-ranked players can compete in seasonal tournaments to determine
who really is the best of the best.
Custom Games
Players can join or create
custom games with nonstandard game settings for added excitement and replayability. These games
have a wide variety of play options, and they do not affect your ladder record.
Play with or against computer players.
Play on the map of your
choice, including user-made custom maps.
Anyone that you permit can join, so you can
play against opponents of your choice.
Allow/restrict observers, toggle fog of war
on/off, adjust game speed, and adjust diplomacy settings.
New Game Filter
The
game filter lets players determine which available games appear on the custom games list. This
functionality allows them to filter out games that have maps they don't want to play. Game
filters include:
Map Creator - Choose to view only Blizzard-made or user-made
maps
Game Options - Play standard melee games, or play custom games with various
options toggled on/off
Map Type - Play standard melee maps, or play custom maps with
various triggers active/inactive
Game Speed - Fast/Medium/Slow
Map Size
- Large/Medium/Small
Separate Gateways and Name Space
Warcraft III name space
is not shared with previous Blizzard games or even between gateways, so more names will be
available for selection. To prevent name copying, nonstandard characters have been disabled.
New Built-in Friends System
To help players keep track of friends, the friends
list shows each friend's location (whether in or about to start a game, or on a chat channel).
Players can easily join a friend's channel or a game ready to start.
Players are notified when a friend enters or leaves Battle.net (this notice even
appears in-game).
Advanced Battle.net Icon System
Play your favorite
race often to earn better icons, and earn upgraded icons by gaining more wins.
Icons
reflect the race you play most, your ladder rank, and if applicable, your clan
affiliation
