If only someone back in 1996 could tell me that in 2022 I would be watching Warcraft 2 in 4K resolution… I would ask them: “Wtf is 4k resolution? And why you even watch a game when you can play it?”

This is unreal. To go 1v7 on the fastest speed and pull it off is unreal. And really damn impressive must say.

Bro, not only w2 menu theme slaps it also never gets old Tbf the whole soundtrack is masterpiece

8 minutes in and the AI sends dragons at you. That's terrifying to think about, let alone witness

Got to love the early 90's AI "the only sworn enemy I have in the world is building inside of my base...this is fine."

The awesome thing about this graphics style is that it makes it really clear what and where all the units are. Modern graphics look great, but maybe aren't as good for gameplay.

Brilliant work. As a kid it took me longer than that to defeat one enemy. It's always good watching great RTS players in action. You learn things. Like how badly you'll be beaten online and whether you can be bothered taking the time to Git Gud.

The sound of casting bloodlust was terrifying. Ogre mages are the true berserkers in WC.

I use to play this game all the time at my Grandparents house. My Granny bringing me milkshakes and letting me enjoy a video game away from my siblings will always be one of my fondest memories.

Came for the orcs, stayed for the soundtrack.

so much nostalgia. these games are my childhood.

So much nostalgia, down to the way the corpses decay. And I love how the offense was ogres with their blubbery clunky sprites. Truly it was all ogre for the AIs by that point.

Simply watching Warcraft 2 brings up some hidden childhood happiness out of me. The sounds, the textures, the unit responses, buildings, strategy etc. Bloodlust is still one of my favourite sounds ever. Everything is awesome and helps cope with a pretty shitty time in my life. But this is the first time I'm watching someone do a classic human vs a shitload of AI play in WC2 and it's glorious to watch. Great stuff dude, keep it up with the old WC and SC content. They fill a void in my life.

I hesitate to call it a fact, but I distinctly recall being able to get the dragons/griffon riders to hit themselves with their own projectile. Usually happens when they target Knights or other fast moving enemies, as their targeting doesn't tell them not to drop their attack on themselves. It basically requires the defending player to ensure the target of the dragon needs to be directly under the dragon AND moving away as the projectile is thrown, thus causing the projectile to collide with the attacking dragon.

Man the memories. I remember getting the Battle Chest and putting so many hours into this.

You know, watching the at 1.75x speed makes it seem even more impressive than it already is.

Omg Warcraft 2! One of the absolute best games I've ever played. It had me addicted for years and then Warcraft 3 came out and a few more years were added. 😍 Such nostalgia in this game. Thank you

I loved every minute of this and despite seeing your campaign run throughs am still in awe of your micro skills. I still havent even figured out how to use macros in this game and ive been playing it since bne came out. Lol. Still got my og disc and have multiple console copies of this game too because it introduced me to the rts genre. And then i shared it with friends and family and got them hooked too. Thanks for the trip to memory lane. :)

walling off with their own buildings :)))))) that is so mean, I never saw this before. Awesome play

Also on our server in new Rebalance mode we maked AI fix plugin and comps become even more cursed ;) they can powerbuild, peons less stuck, and most important ogres can now normally use runes, and DK can raise skeletons, human mages can go in inviz and blizzard into your gold mine ;)

What an incredible, ruthless massacre! The horde truly lived up to its name in this game.

I use to watch my dad play this when i was a baby. Then he taught me. Then warcraft 3 came out and i won a champion tournament and he was so proud

You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him.

I don't know how the algorithm knew that I just played through the campaign again but this was great to watch. That moment when you buffed a death knight and sent him in for a suicide decay run was inspired.

This brought me back. This was satisfying to watch. Thank you.

so many sweet childhood memories withthis one! like visiting grandpa who had a 486, a cd and vga monitor to play this game on christmas eve...thanks stu!

It's kind of outrageous that winning a 1 vs 7 only gets you the rank of Captain. If you took this performance, and repeated it exactly four more times, you'd *still* not get the max rank of Designer. I'm not sure if there's even enough resources on normal maps to farm out to that score either! You'd either have to try and farm enemy Fortresses/Castles by butchering the CPU and then backing off so they can rebuild, or play on big naval maps and sink tons of Battleships/Juggernauts for their juicy points.

I remember when you upgrade ships armor, the STOP button changes skin (upgrades). So I actually convinced myself that the ships stopped faster with that upgrade xD

Very cool! Interesting tactics and using different units to win is good. Respect for the skillful use of death knights.

I like the small commentaries on your play, and why you do this and that. Keep it up!

Thx for bringing back memories 😊 I played this game for ages. And this was also the origin of „you have been pwned“

Thank you for sharing this. Always good to see the old games at play

Brings back memories every move every choice saving precious seconds in the crucial first few min. Awesome

Masterful playthrough here. Well done.

Finally, a war2 recording that doesn't look like ass! And the challenge idea and execution are fun as well

Amazing! It's always great to watch a master of their (war)craft work their magic. Very well done!

Recent subscriber here! I'm glad to find your channel man! I grew up in the 90's playing warcraft and starcraft a lot! Love these types of vids!

I really like the high resolution of your game video. It is enjoyable watching the gameplay, very tactful play.

Thank you for WC2 videos, brings back good old memories!

This is insane. When I was 5 I loved building towns in Warcraft II and seeing all the units, but I would always get trounced by a single opponent in a custom match. The graphics and sounds are nostalgic for me, but the tactics are unbelievable as someone who's never seen the game played well.

This is absolutely amazing, well done!

This was amazing brings good memories thanks for making this. Good old Warcraft 2!

Ah, the nostalgia of the sound effects, music and characters. This is one of the good parts of my childhood I look fondly back on.

Your videos are therapy to me. Thanks man.

This was great fun to watch. I played WC2 when I was a kid, having watched my mum play the orc campaign and consistently flatten her enemies. Glad to see there are still people playing and enjoying the classics

I remember pulling this off back in the day but with no towers, it was a 3 grunt rush on low resources, I remember being able to pull it off depending on spawns... I just bought the game again, not sure if I can remember the build and order to win now... it has been 20-25 years :)

This takes me down the memmory lane. I used to do this as a kid too. Thanks for bringing back the great memmories!

Unholy armor + haste on a DK was my favorite combo ^^

I was today years old, when I discovered that the Pickaxe will be put back beside the cart in front of the gold mine whenever no peasant mining, or when light off.

Блин, это чертовски впечатляет. Под ностальгическую музыку это вообще шикарная работа.

Holy shit, amazing video! Watching it was so suspenseful, masterwork of playing!

Exactly how I played Starcraft, you actually get alot of adrenaline playing like this, fun as hell.

Oh man, the feels I have hearing that song again. Seeing those buildings again I played all blizzard games religiously when I was a kid

Never played this game but glad it was recommended on my video feed, subscribed!

Wow... Even though I never have played WC2, it was pretty interesting to watch! Really impressive!

I dont know why this popped up on my feed, but Im glad it did. Work work work!

This is exactly how I remembered it (minus the proxy rush.... and the farm wall). Somehow, in 1995, I was able to store all memory I had about that game in HD.

Oh you're back playing this! I remember watching your videos on how to beat the campaigns and those were very old.

This is the best Primitive Technology video I've seen lately.

Zug zug! I played this game so much when I went to bed and closed my eyes I could hear the sound of swords clanging.

Great job, I bought this game shortly after it came out in the 90s. Those were great times.

Nice HD patch from Wacraft2 Combat Edition

This is pure insanity and I'm here for it.

"Don't mind me, me just dumb peon building in your base and stealing your gold...zug zug"

This is bringing back so many memories... I want to install it and play now.

Wow, what a gauntlet! Thanks for bringing this to us in 4k, Stu! Shame we can't see individual kill counts on units - mages at base could reach a hundred each

Bloodlusted ogres are one of the most terrifying sounds you can hear in this game

hey thank you this was an incredible watch to see.

great video as always!

I was 12 yrs old in 96 playing this on my dad's Apple Quadra 660av. Fond memories of this game. They need to replicate this in every detail but for today. Also i've wanted to 3D print these building and make a little diorama.

Ah man this brings back memories. The white shade for units was awesome. Music. All of it.

The Eye of Kilrogg now has sound effects. Nice! I think there were some in the sound editor, but they were not enabled, originally.

How do you get these settings? Can't seem to get it to look like this at all

Thank you. Very nice to watch you being in that flow and everything lining up, for someone who never played wc2 (just 1-2 games and watched 1-2 casual games, coming from wc3 and sc) Now after watching this it feels I know everything lolll.

For some reason KZfaq recommended me this, IDK why but I enjoyed it. Good stuff

I never got good enough at these games to pull off 1 v 7...so, I'm always impressed to see this! Still remember when little witch sielith did beat a 1 v 3 though!

13:35 waited for the bloodlust sound all the time. When I heard that as a kid, I knew something is about to get wrecked

Excellent, loved the video.

Very impressive, and on fastest setting ! Great job.

impressive

man look at how crisp your opener is, love to see it

Вот мы и вернулись к старой классике

Второй варик , теплые воспоминания из детства... Thanks dude ,you remind some good memories

Stu do you can do this type of videos with other strategy games, how WC3

i never thinked about i will watch trough a damn warcraft II 1v7 video.... dayum its impressive.

Never played this game before, but it looks cool! What is that red droplet by the ogres' heads?

As soon as I heard "We're ready, master!" I was like "Oh, here we go."

The music and sound effects always make me long for this game. Spent so much time with it.

Was watching on my bed, wife passed by and said: "That is Warcraft isn't it? I can't forget that sound." I smiled.

This gave me hardcore anxiety to watch this. Well done.

where can i download this.. nostalgia is there a campaign mode?

Wow, very impressive! I'd be interested to see if this could be done on a map where your base is more exposed - bad AI pathing around forests plus a small fortified chokepoint did a lot of work there.

That was awesome. NIcely done !

Where can I get that hd hack? On Google there are several options

Among the best games of all time! Soundtracks made it extra special!

Epic ❤❤ WC2 was always one of my favourites

What is the patch you use? Would love to revisit this game myself.

The timing there at the beguinning is so tight, towers going up seconds before they are needed.

Какая потресающая озвучка, я прям даже от зданий тащусь

Does this have the unit limit? Used to say something like "unable to create unit" when there was X amount in game.
