Great name huh? 

 

Here's a link to the main site: http://www.worldinconflict.com/main/

Here's some info taken from the main site: http://www.worldinconflict.com/main/overview.html

 

Overview

World in Conflict

 

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.

 

World in Conflict is under development by the leading creative and technical minds at Massive Entertainment, creators of the innovative and award-winning Ground Control series.

 

Features

 

    * Superpowered Warfare

      Unleash the arsenals of the great military superpowers in the gripping single-player story created by best-selling author and Cold War authority, Larry Bond.

    * MassTech Engine

      The latest version of Massive's proprietary engine allows for a full 360 range of camera control, allowing you to get right down into the midst of battle.

    * Demolish Everything

      Destroy every object in the game - crush cars, destroy buildings, burn forests!

    * Drop-in Multiplayer

      Join on-going games and immediately help your team take control of the map.

 

    * Fast-paced Teamplay

      Master four different battlefield roles; Air, Armor, Infantry and Support, in the ultimate online teamplay experience.

 

    * Super Weapons

      Unleash ground-shaking artillery barrages, napalm strikes, and awesome tactical nukes that turn the tide of battle.

 

That covers most of it.

 

You can play the American campaign (there is no Soviet one) and either side MP.  Also there is a third NATO faction.  There are lots of videos on various sites.  Graphically the game looks terrific and looks very fast paced.

so.... in a nutshell this is like an escalated cold war right? Cooool. It looks awesome but I haven't heard much about it there's not much hype. I hope there is a demo soon. And dang is there really no soviet campagin? Dang I want a soviet campagin. But at least they are still playable

I was in the closed beta and the game plays very fast paced and it is very fun.  You must use teamwork to do well in it.

 

On a 3200+ amd athlon 64, 2 GB ram, and X1900GT it ran on medium with no lag.
