World in Conflict! The Cold War Goes Hot.

[Timmy811]

Realizing their control of the Eastern Block was slipping, the Soviet Union knew they could only keep control of their empire if it was at war. Thus was born a World in Conflict.

Absolutely amazing trailer :shock:

This game looks absolutely killer. Too bad I probably won't have a computer that can play it for a long while. :cry:

Looks interesting but I hope it doesn't have Europe basically bowing down to Soviet aggresion leaving America to fight for freedom. That sort of storyline just irks me.

I don't think it's like that.

You included the ... in the actual URL here, so the link doesn't work. This seems to be the page you want:

I wonder, what's the in-game explanation for why this doesn't quickly turn into a full-scale nuclear war?

Thankyou.

Small tactical nuclear weapons are available.

That looks kinda cool.

Is it just me, or are the Soviets invading the United States? How are they supposed to pull that off?

[Timmy811]

No idea how they got around the 7th Fleet on the way to Washington State. (You can see the Space Needle in the skyline of the city the Soviet paratroopers are jumping into, so you know it's Seatle.)

Here's some actual gameplay footage! Unfortunately you have to download to get a decent sized window. But it looks fantastic!
