World in Conflict

[M.C.Darkness]

West Germany, 1988. To avoid certain collapse, the Soviet army boldly advances into Europe. NATO responds only to be met on a second front -- a diversionary attack on the American homeland. You are a field commander, leading the era's most powerful military machines in the campaign to retake America's cities and suburbs.

New strategy game coming sometime in 2007, Check it out the graphics are amazing!

very nice graphics, but the game may be pants

They claim it will have realistic weaponry from the time period that behave they way they would in real life, so hopefully it will be a great game.

 

[myzko]

meh, the graphics are not

 

[SnotRocket]

Most of the images aren't blurred, and those that appear blurred only appear so because of bloom and heavy AA.

Besides, the game has a good publisher/dev combination team behind it. Sierra/Vivendi combo strats include Homeworld 2 and Empire Earth 2. The developer massive entertainment also created Ground Control, another fun strategy game. So everything looks exciting here.

I saw a Trailer for a game that takes you from the 1917 Russian Revolution, to Egypt in 1970, and other different time periods too. It looked very interesting.

It looks pretty cool, but how come Russians are the ones to invade in 99% of the movies/games/books?

Because 75 percent of the said material is American (Or British)

Because look what happens historically when you invade Russia...

Why would we have wanted to invade the USSR?

Same reason you tried to invade Cuba after Castro took over. Why would the USSR want to invade you?

Okay okay, back on topic

Didn't this used to be a hex-tile strategy game?

I know there's like two other more recent threads on this game, but thanks to the super crappy search function on this forum this was the only thread I could find.

Fileplanet is hosting another WiC Free Multiplayer Trial until March 26th. If you haven't tried the game yet then by all means go download this trial, or if you enjoyed previous trials but didn't buy its still worth the download. You get 2+ free weeks of multiplayer WiC action for free, can't beat that.

I've been in both closed betas, tried the demo, tried the other free multiplayer trials, so by now I feel like I've owned the game for a year (but haven't paid a dime ).

Knew I was forgetting something:

Aaaaand the prophecy came to life in the end

 

[Profe]

yea, this game is not very good.

 

[Lionel-RIchie]

Bwuah? It's supa' fun!

 

[Xendance]

Not really, it's just weird imo. The gameplay that is.

 

[Arto1990]

Why do the soviet troops in the game use ak-47's? by the late 80's most soviet troops were armed with ak-74 assault rifles, its also weird that EVERY soldier has a grenade launcher, the camouflage the soviets wear also looks too modern, and shouldnt soviet tanks be an olive green color not what they are like in the game? The western troops equipment seems pretty i wish as much research was put into the soviet side.

Tbh if your a hardcore RTS fan you probably wont enjoy this. If your a part timer (like myself) then you will love its pick up and play approach. The more you play online the more depth to the game that appears.

I think World In Conflict is "pretty good", but not more than that. It's not a very difficult game and you don't really have to think a lot, which is a good thing imo (not all of us have the time to put in hundreds of hours of making up strategies).

What disappoints me is the small-scale battles. Although the levels are bigger, the troop count never gets higher than Company Of Heroes. Which isn't what they advertised iirc. Or maybe I haven't gotten far enough into the game yet.

The explosions are pretty sweet though. Still, I think CoH and RTW is a lot better.
