World in Conflict

[[JiF]Thos]

The trailer for this game looks amazing. Thought there was a post about this game already, but couldn't find it in a search...

http://worldinconflict.com/main/ Comes out in Sept 07.

"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."

I saw this a couple weeks ago and the trailer is AMAZING!

I wish this was a FPS and not an RTS.. I've watched some of the game play videos and I can say I'm not very impressed. Awesome concept, bad implementation (as of now of course, I bet that will change when I play it )

What type of game is WiC?
World in Conflict is an RTS game that focuses less on resource gathering and base building and more on actual deployment and use of troops and tactics. It is set with a time-line where the cold war never ended, and has now escalated to the point where the USSR is invading the USA.
