There is only one change to this:

Code:
You no longer need the Warcraft III RoC or FT CD to play
In other words, click the exe and it opens. But you still need the CD to reinstall it. It's exactly how D2Loader is designed for, except that's for Diablo II and it's illegal.

What I think of this is a dream come true. Now Wc3's loading speed went from 6 seconds to 3 seconds for me, as all the libraries and MPQ are now inside the exe. However, this may open up a gateway for burned copies, as there may be no software that will detect if your game is a forgery or not.

Post your opinion here, and enjoy a CD-free Wc3.
/me wonders how Blizzard benefit from this*
