    Default World in Conflict

    This game's gotten my attention badly. I just like those "stories" that are based on "possible outcomes" in the real world. It's about WWIII that broke out immediately after the Cold War.

    I can't wait for it to come out

    The trailers are nice but I'm really curious about the gameplay.
    We will see, hope they release a demo.

    I thought you would . I'm sure Germans are tired of being on the ass-end of all those WW II games.

    Heh, I'm gonna be playing Soviets. I'm getting sick and tired of playing as Americans, British, the so-called "good guys", etc. In CoH I always play as Germany just because it's not the "good guys"

    Not really. Mostly you either shoot the evil Nazis or can play the germans yourself. Apart from that the whole WW2 stuff got a bit boring some time ago. Especially in games which offer only some standard equipment.
    Using modern equipment can be a lot more fun if done correctly.

    I would really like to play a game ala OFP style that molded itself around other NATO countries other than the USA.

    Do you have OFp:Resistance?

    There are many mods ( and 2 full conversions + campaigns) that make NATO countries playable.

    Yes.

    I've played both the FDF and CSLA Mod, which were fantastic. I've also played around with the Spanish, French, and BoH mods.

    Although I want a game that can actually portray Urban Combat, something that has always annoyed me about OFP.

    Here are some updates.

    http://media.pc.ign.com/media/821/821566/imgs_1.html

    Very impressive, especially the graphics. Seems this game will have a multi national military. Americans and Soviets, French and Germans, look at some of the recent screenshots, I see French forces with Famas and German APC's.

    Im starting to believe that this game might be the Total War of modern combat...The fact that it doesnt have basebuilding/resource collecting makes me more than happy...

    I laready liked the Ground Controls, and yes, there are also french and german helicopters if I'm not mistaken and the Leopard 2 is in as well.
    Also the M-48 tank which I once had a 1:72 model of could be seen on a screenshot.
    And then we have B-52s and Tu-95 bears doing carpet bombing, etc...
    Not to forget the Su-25, all that soviet equipment etc, if they get the gameplay right, this could be a great game!

    Normally I'd whine about realism (as if the Soviet Union had any ability to touch the U.S., especially across the Pacific), but hey -- this game's so cool it's even got me silenced. I loved Clancy's Red Storm Rising so let's bloody hope this lives up to that pedigree

    Heh heh heh. Small tactical nukes

    I bet they can be launched from some kind of artillery battery or something too. If there's small tactical nukes, I'd be spamming these bastards out as much as I can. If they only had nukes in CoH *__*

    The Collectors Edition of World In Conflict offers you a piece of the Berlin Wall.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Will try it tomorrow if I find the time before that loveparade thing.
    Though I doubt it.

    I used Gamespot and its download manager. Speed approximated 600 to 700. Gamespot usually has good service and speed (even if you have a free account).


    On another note I've been checking the demo and the following expression showing my thought would be overall sufficiently descriptive: what the ****?

    To elaborate, though:
    * the programme runs a lot slower than the July multiplayer beta
    * multiplayer only features one map (Pine Valley)
    * single-player skirmish features only one map (the same Pine Valley)
    * single-player campaign portion features only one map (guess which one)

    Perhaps I missed it but I hadn't noticed any other 'vailable map. The worst thing about this demo, however, to me, is the fact that it runs too slow compared to the beta AT THE SAME SETTINGS. Now, for single-player it is somewhat understandable since the CPU player(s) actions must be calculated and so forth, but even in MULTIPLAYER?

    I could run the beta at almost Very High or just High smoothly but this... this... ARRRGH. Where's that goddamn deinstallation button?

    By the way, the game's presentation is excellently eloquent. There are several in-game scenes that show this. The clips not in-game are well done too.
