||
| − | [[Image:Warcraft II Battle Net Edition Logo.jpg|left|thumb|''Warcraft II Battle.net Edition'' logo.]] |
||
| − | The game features many upgrades and enhancements over the original version. Features from ''[[StarCraft]]'', such as right-click commands for units, and queuing multiple units for production, were implemented. The game was also ported to be natively supported under Windows, unlike the original game which ran under DOS. A fix for newer processors was included so regardless of how fast your processor was, the screen scroll speed was consistent. Unlike the original version which was meant to be run on a 486 processor and running on a modern processor the screen scroll speed was too fast. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The original version of ''Warcraft II'' supported online play, but only through IPX protocol, and not the TCP/IP protocol which became standard after its release. Many players used the paid-for program Kali, which emulated an IPX network over the internet, and allowed people to play it easily online. ''Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition'' added support for Battle.net. |
