I like how in the brief for one of these quests, it says that Gul'dan is ready to unleash his Death Knights, yet this guy created an army of _Ogre-Mages_ instead.
25 years later and this game has still aged well.
The first one not so much lol
Blizzard in their prime.
Hey i downloaded for smartphone with ps1 emulator
With snes or ps1 u get awesome games on smartphone
meeeeh warcraft 3 has aged better still
Whoever did the orc voices deserve an oscar
Orc scar.
@@JonCombo :D
Fun fact: the human voice actor and the orc voice actor are the same guy.
it was the same person that does Yoda from star wars.
@@kxr842 "Me no sound like Yoda, do I?"
This game oozes with personality. This was definitely my favorite of the Warcraft series.
I get tons of nostalgia just hearing the wood chopping sounds lol.
@@eggoslayer1001 Me too. My favorite sound though is the Bloodlust sound.
Because it was still extremely like warhammer… (it’s inspiration)
With Warcraft 3 it started going into a different direction. One I enjoy but definitely different
Man this brought back some great memories. My dad was always a prettt serious, stern type, but seeing me play this got him into the game. As silly as it sounds, it brought us closer together through a shared love of the game.
Some of the earliest memories when I was a child was me and my dad playing warcraft 2. This and the first Command and conquer. I was too young to understand the strategy of which units to build but I think I did fairly well.
it was the other way around for me. My dad was plying this game and i loved watching it
I understand exactly what you're saying. My dad is precisely the same style
Nice memory :)
I have fond memories of watching my father play warcraft 2 campaigns and struggle, then I played them too and my father sometimes watched me play. I think I only got to like 7-8 missions in both campaigns and on expansions I only got to second mission on both human and orc, this game was so hard to me as a kid. My father finished the game and I got to play the final missions a lot, didn't get far :P. I really liked the very final orc mission in the expansion where you start with the army and are against like 4 or 5 factions, never managed to beat it as a kid and I remember my father struggling with it for days and then barely managing to win haha.
Warcraft 2 has no business aging this well. It still looks and plays smooth as butter.
The musics in this game are pure love. Graphics are kinda good for so old game
The music is terrible, sounds like Wolfenstein 3D.
These early games of Blizzard's (warcraft 2, Diablo 2, and Starcraft 1) Blizzard really knew what to do with the limited resources to make it look as good as possible. It's great.
*for a so old game.
IDK how old you are but at the time when it was released it was the coolest game ever!
Well I actually have this game and there's a setting in the settings menu where you can speed up the game (I know its weird but its a old game.) anyway it looks like he did that. No hate are anything.
Woah, this game is better than Warcraft III reforged
Zug zug.
True

Taboo
Hahahaha
:(
@@lampualadinidx9060 lo3dam
The best Warcraft game ever.
3rd best
@AoE II HD GAME fuck you
I played all three Warcrafts and I would have to argue that 3 was the best, though it was missing ships. Don't get me wrong, 1 and 2 are awesome.
@@dkkanofkash8798 it's the soundtrack that takes me back and the ships were pretty cool.
@Hunter Coleman it's always hit home.
Good old times when the Warcraft lore wasn't completely messed up.
god i'd love a warcraft 4 that completely ignores everything that happened in WoW
@@ipraytovodka yes, please
could you tell me what you mean by that more precisely ?
@@johndash9711 some people say that after warcraft 3 (so in world of warcraft, and it's expansions, like shadowlands in specific) the lore just became shit, a shitty joke, even
@@temst2561 God I wish Blizzard would just retcon all of Shadowlands.
I remember mastering all the build keyboard shortcuts instead of learning something stupid, like Algebra
Hahaha nice
7:22 This is exactly the first thing I ever did when I played this game for the first time the only difference it was in the first level. warcraft2 was the first RTS game I played in my life, and i had no clue what to do in the game and I did'nt understood the concept of a strategy game back then. I was like 9-10 years old, and I did'nt undertand english. It took me some time to understand the idea behind the game, and it was all by trial and error. I learned a lot of stuff in that time...I was also very proud of myself because I figured it all alone.
same for me :D
Back when blizzard was blizzard
Before the dark times, before Activision
Next year available on mobile phones :D
@@The__Danny
Are you serious?!id love that!itll be available along with battlenet?or just a campaign?
@@sexysalmon4411
Are YOU serious? xD
Before the dark times, before World of warcraft. Anyone else noticed that they just didn't pay any attention to Diablo, Starcraft and Warcraft RTS for half a decade after they started milking the WoW cash cow?
This game is so stunning when it comes to visual composition, whether it be tone, color or material.
Very true. The graphics still hold up great even today, because of it.
Pragmatic Tornado yeah the bright vibrant colors were iconic and persisted in Warcraft 3 and even early WoW which is why so many people dislike the bland dull "remastered" graphics of Warcraft 3 reforged and just use the old classic graphics lol, this art design is amazing
Blizzard artists have always been so talented, they pretty much pioneered the stylized art :P
YOURE THE CAPTAIN
I WOULD LOVE TO
ARGH?
AHOY
Who wants to sing?
I WOULD LOVE TO
ARGH
Orc: What’re your orders for our first mission?
Chieftain: Kill each other, so more peons can be made.
This game is a trip down memory lane.This,diablo 2 and starcraft were the first PC games I played when I was 10 when I was lucky enough to play on my uncle's computer.Thanks for uploading!
WC2 was my first computer game ever, and I used to play SC online over an ISDN modem with a time-dependant bill from the phone company. My dad wasn't to happy.
Starcraft Broodwar. The best game ever created.
My uncle worked for nintendo
look for war2combat, it is a "free" up to date version of WC2 based on WC2 BNE, you can play both the Tides of Darkness and Beyond the Dark Portal campaigns
And Age of Empires.
I can't believe it, I remember when I was a kid a single middle mission took me hours or even days like the one you have to kill Gul'dan, and you did it in just minutes, my respects, just a great video!!
My favorite part of this game was always the guy describing the mission objectives.
And you being part of the story not just you controlling some in game character.
Bill Roeper one of the blizzard og voiced the orcs for the rts series.
Yo-yo-you're the AHOY yo-your'e the cap-I WOULD LOVE TO-the captain!
Thanks for this playthrough, to the point and I don't have to install and play it to get my nostalgia kick
Man, I wish the RTS genre never faded into oblivion, but remained popular.
It seems that im the only one who still play war3 in 2021
@@dendiepie1547 Yeah, pretty much. We're still waiting on an official ladder nearly a year after reforged's delayed release. :\ RIP genre.
RTS didn’t fade into oblivion, but Blizzard has fallen.
Yeah I have to agree. I can't think of a single decent or remotely memorable RTS title released after command and conquer 3. C&C / RA franchise has been killed and the corpse defiled by EA. Warcraft has been made 'refunded' by blizzard, and they already openly stated that they won't make StarCraft 3 since they can't milk as much money with the RTS genre as they can with overwatch and whatnot. Which may not be a bad thing to be honest as Blizzard has completely lost all creative and entertainment edge they once had, so SC3 would be potentially the death of the franchise.
@atombrain111 Maybe. But I haven't seen anything original from Blizzard since Starcraft 2. Maybe that's what you mean - in that anything like original WC3 or SC2 that people still play, enjoy and can create content in through custom maps since release and to date, isn't a continuous revenue stream? But that means the only things that would be, are short gratification drop box crap that would get boring after a few hours of playing without the cash grabs - so it does explain it to a degree I guess...
Stone. Cold. Classic. The memories are good. Thanks for this playthrough!
I can't believe I watched this whole thing
Its funny
Try watching 8 hours of God of War.
@@KaraokeNig why not 10 hours of tetris?
Nah, that's just waste of precious time.
you da boss
Wow! The Goblin Sappers are like a beta Kerrigan voicewise and they explode just like the Infested Terran. It's cool to see how some things inspired others
Понастольгировал, спасибо большое! Аж слезу пустил😥
i just want a remaster of this, so much childhood nostalgia
Actually, what you see in this video is a remaster (released in 1999) :P
The original Warcraft II was a DOS game and lacked some of the features you see here (e.g. control groups). The cinematics were in much lower quality too.
@@AlexeiVoronin So what version number is the 1999 remastered version?
@@Isaac-gh5ku 2.00 (when installed from original CD)
They released one patch for this remastered version, which upgrades it to 2.02 (with some bugfixes).
Be careful what you wish for, look at WC3 reforged
So much nostalgia... And now I realize I've been playing this game so slowly as a kid jfc
Same. Took months to get through a campaign XD
Me as a young teen: you want me to handle more than one base?!
Me as an adult: where's my third base my Army isn't growing fast enough
Great game! Just back in time of my childhood! Thank you!
childhood memories - really wanna thank you for this upload!!
This video helped me finally beat WC2 for the Horde after the first time I played on Playstation in 2000ish. Gonna finish the Alliance tomorrow. Thanks!
Man, hearing these sounds again is wild. Thank you Stu and algo.
I wasn't planning to see this but I just can't stop. So many memories from the 90s ❤️
SUCH good memories, when life was nice
@@mastermirror1972 Appreciate now though, time flies so much! Chin up fella :)
I remember playing this with my friend growing up. I asked my parents for it, and my grandma ended up buying me Warcraft 1: Orcs and Humans instead for Christmas. I graciously accepted it and played the shit out of that game, but man was this game a lot better and more fun. Good memories.
Thanks for the idle clicking, I remember a time where Easter eggs were greatly appreciated
The audio. The video. The story. Holy moly this brings back memories. 😍
Seems like I've played it wrong! Remember this being way harder lol
This guy just has made skills
me i cant pass the levels o used cheatd
The tides of darkness campaign shouldn't be too bad with the exception of the last few levels of each campaign, which can be pretty tough (the last level especially). Beyond the Dark Portal is another story though, those levels match in difficulty the hardest levels Blizzard has ever put out. That campaign is terrifying.
@@redwings13400 True. While ToD AI is passive most of the time, BtDP introduces us to a completely new level of difficulty. I always used an invincibility to roll thru - kill each and every peon/peasant and main structures, plundered all resources available and right before mission accomplishment I reloaded the game to avoid being accused of cheating.
Finally when I got to play thru BtDP campaigns without cheating, I had no idea, and you can guess, what I put myself into... 😄
You're a beast! As a little kid I played this and loved the way you could upgrade shit and bloodlust orges fascinated me
7:19 I already love the Orc 2 theme but I've finally been able to experience it along with the gameplay and somehow it is even more incredible! The instrumentation, especially those timpani and oboes (I think?) add SO much to the atmosphere. Glenn Stafford did an amazing job on this.
God I could listen to the narrator forever lol. Such an amazing job!
This is one of my favorite games of all time.
I just finished watching and I have two take aways.
1. If you want to win, you've got to collect resources FAST and basically ZERGRUSH.
2. In universe, this Orc Campaign would have been frightening to face.
Best play through. Right to the action, no passive exploration crap. Good job 👍🏻
53:35 You're the captain! You're the captain! You're the captain! You're the captain! You're the captain!
Cem Temeltaş lol
you're decapited

thanks, added as video chapters
@@StuGames thank you for great walkthrough, its a pleasure to see such skilled playthrough
Thank you.
did download it and playing again after 23 years. This is actually still fun :D
Where did you download it?
The first game a friend and I ever played on line. Some of the best memories.
The ruthless efficiency with which this is executed is both incredibly impressive and utterly disgusting.
**Golf clap**
I've been working on a Warcraft 2 playthrough. Your speedrun has been very helpful
I loved that you did the clicking thing to annoy the units.
It was quite funny how the ending showed that orc pretty much body slamming the knight off his horse and proceeded to bash in his face
You manage to bake some weird, unnecessary shit into your longplays without compromising the speedrun factor - 48:13 - I love that. Makes these playthroughs more interesting.
this is awesome! i wish there was a way to 'replay' games, it'd be cool to see what else is going on in the map while each mission is occurring. thanks for posting this!
Damn i remember this game back then when i was 20 years old, now im 40. Countless hours , amazing game!! Never played world of warcraft though.
Thanks, this brings back memories
Thanks for uploading this!
Oh, that time of my sweet childhood... Warcraft II was one of my favorites those years!
One thing I enjoyed doing was creating dragons, but then endowing them with bloodlust from an ogre and haste from the death knight.
Same x)
Such good souvenirs ❤️👌
I played Warcraft 2 between 1996 and 1998 if I recall well, that’s fun to remember it.
Thx for sharing 😊
was such a good game and absolutely love the soundtrack:)
Brings me too tears!!! Whaaaaaaat!!! Love the orcs voices so much!! BLIZZARD MAKE MORE WARCRAFT AND STARCRAFT RTS GAMES FOR EVER PLEASE!!!
11:45 the sheep explosion is epic. Nice.
I would play this demo when I was 5 or 6 years old at my grandparents house on the old Mac system. First memories of my childhood
I miss growing up in the 90s. Hearing my dad play this while me and my older brother played Gauntlet
Playing the campaign now. Its still so good.
I just love how you bother the ish out of them ,with the repeat clicking on everything XD
Aw man that "ZUG ZUG" really brings back memories.
I remember Tides of Darkness, this was such a fun game.
This is the First Video Game i Played and immidetly got addicted
man this brings me back
The soundtrack
i've gived a try to this, and i got stuck around the part at 53.40 minutes, you make it looks simple AF, but when I try it, I got some sort of huge rockets coming from no where everytime killing my forces! U legend!
You need to build a zeppelin to see the enemies submarines!
@@StuGames It took me ages to get that! So annoying.
Oooh that BGM! just thrusts be back to my childhood
49:29 I love this old school theme. I hear it in Warcraft 3 as well
The intro is so epic.
24 Years and always so good :)
I loved it, I spend days playing this game
Wow, awesome! Incredible microcontrol! Really unbelievable for me!
The music is soooooo nostalgic........ the good old days...
Dear Stu - thank you
Gosh I loved this game!!
I played few years ago and its still great
Man, used to play this on dial up on big old Dell pc listening to DMX as a kid...the golden ear. These kids don't know what they missed.
I loved this game, I might have to buy it again
I'm at the first mission of Act IV (haven't used a walkthrough up until now) and am on the verge of giving up. The odds are completely stacked against you. I just watched the walkthrough of it and HOLY MOLY I can't believe the level of skill required to conquer this vile mission! I guess I could try to refine my skills in custom games but I don't know if I'll ever be good enough to beat the Orc campaign, let alone the Human one and also the Dark Portal expansion. I'll try studying this walkthrough I guess... *sigh*
This game merged real life and dreams into one
damn, the nostalgia is real! *tears*! lol
love the videoclips... ohh my childhood...
Work complete!
I was born far after the prime of OG warcraft and because of that grew up playing only WoW- never having touched any of the original warcraft games.
It wasn't until recently when I decided to buy wc3 reforged that I became interested in the older warcraft games.
I had not realized it but I actually had a huge affinity to RTS games.
My only previous experience with the RTS genre was with the Spore tribal and civilization stages. The tribal stage in particular was my favorite. It wasn't until I got into Warcraft that I realized *why* . Controlling groups of units to support a base was my cup of tea.
So after playing wc3 reforged I decided to give Warcraft 2 a try. And omg is Warcraft 2 a captivating game. The atmosphere just has you wanting to continue. So far I've only reached past the destruction of Stromgarde in the Horde campaign and I can't wait to continue. Idk how but it's more inviting than wc3 reforged. The music, unit voice lines, simple story- it all just feels so *warcraft*
The game series that made them rich!
what a beautiful game
My first true Blizzard game i played in 1998 and owned. StarCraft was the next one in 1999 along with Diablo II. Didnt own Diablo I until 2002 i think. Diablo I was my first experience of Blizzard games after seeing an old elementary classmate playing it in 1998/1999 on his PC. I didnt know it was Diablo I at the time until later on after i had already gotten WC2BNE. So many memories although i mostly played Diablo 2 and Starcraft in the 2000s on classic Battle.Net on USEast realm.
Oh the childhood memories
What is the different grunt & footman
Troll axe thrower & Elven Archer?
Without words watching this.. flood of nostalgia its depressing
KiLLa_HaLo checking in here - miss all the warcraft II homies!
Шедевр!
This is the True Horde Race! Combination of Orc,ogre and troll not wow Horde
