How we learned to stop worrying and love the bomb

Sep 18, 2007

Sept 18, 2007 Unless you've been hiding under a rock somewhere for the last six months, you'll know that World in Conflict is set in 1989 at the peak of the Cold War. The Soviets, on the brink of internal collapse, have invaded France (one can only presume for the wine and cheese). They then spread forth into other parts of Europe before eventually landing on US soil and bringing the fight to America. Well, that's the basic timeline, anyway - in actual fact, the missions start off with the ...

World in Conflict - hands-on

We test the closed multiplayer Beta

Jun 19, 2007

World in Conflict is an RTS set in a Cold War scenario where the Berlin Wall never fell. That means we get loads of cool '80s and '90s tech to play with - and fully destructible environments to let loose in. The first thing you'll notice when you get into a game is that it's big without being too sprawling. The camera swoops in from what looks like a mile above the conflict zone, down through fluffy clouds and into the action. The graphics did cut up a bit during our playtest, although ... » Read Full World in Conflict preview

We witness a sudden thaw in Cold War politics

May 23, 2007

Sonic booms break the stillness, followed by the screeching sound of fighter jet engines. A closer boom rattles the shelves and a descending high-pitched tone indicates an incoming missile. Wondering whats going on, you stumble outside before gasping in shock. Parachutes fill the air and in the distance, Russian tanks rumble over countryside. An explosion hits a nearby house - one things for sure - the Cold War hasnt ended; its only just begun. Thats the setting for World in Conflict and its a ... » Read Full World in Conflict preview

Apr 17, 2007

Fixed camera angles looking down on masses of units will go the way of the dinosaur if lead designer, Magnus Jansén has his way. "We want the world to wake up and realize that this is the way to play RTS games." says Jansén, when asked about World in Conflict's unique camera control system. Mousing to the sides of the screen will rotate the camera angle and you can zoom back and forth with the WASD keys, much like a first-person shooter. A Supreme Commander-esque mega map which ... » Read Full World in Conflict preview

Hot shots of a Cold war

Feb 9, 2007

Its been a while since we brought you a first look at Massive Entertainments World in Conflict. Their first game since Ground Control II, World in Conflict is set in the Cold War 80s. The Soviets, instead of going Perestroika, have invaded Europe and the US, leading to a three-fronted war where everyones got nukes. And everyone loves nukes. We were told how the game was set to combine real-time strategy with the basic setup of a Counter-Strike match - starting players off in one corner of a ... » Read Full World in Conflict preview

World in Conflict - updated hands-on

Someone always has to be the Antichrist

Aug 31, 2006

Some months back, we ran a preview of World in Conflict, noting that it looked like an interesting take on the real time strategy genre. Having gotten our hands on it last week, albeit somewhat briefly, we can say that our initial impressions were indeed correct: it's interesting. Actually, the one thing about WiC that really made an impression can be summed up in one word - "nukular." Just to fill you in, multiplayer WiC is played much like an RTS version of Counter-Strike, in that players ... » Read Full World in Conflict preview
