World in Conflict

We witness a sudden thaw in Cold War politics

Next, we become a card-carrying member of the Communist party and give online a try. Here, Massive really aims for something unique. Liberally borrowing features from online shooters such as Counter-Strike and Battlefield, the combatants in WiC’s multiplayer sign up to one of two teams, with up to eight players on each side.

Once a side has been determined, you choose your role from four options - air (attack and transport helicopters), armor (tanks), infantry or support (artillery and anti-aircraft). Once this has been selected and the battle has commenced, you’re assigned a certain number of credits to purchase appropriate units - perhaps also buying a few units from other player roles at a higher cost. As in Battlefield games, control of the map is defined by holding command points; take them all and win outright.
