World in Conflict

[Bijo]

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

[Mithradates]

Must admit the trailer impressed me but they always do. The whole re writing history thing looks quite cool aswell; sigh yet another game i would like to play if my computer werent so puny.

[Mikeus Caesar]

Epic.

Truly.

[Husar]

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

Just watched the first one. Wow.


Ok, be honest. Who here is going to play the Soviets?

[Husar]

Me, I want to see how those Mi-24s perform and American stuff you can control everywhere.

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"

[Mikeus Caesar]

ONLY small tactical nukes!? They alone are amazing!

[The Wizard]

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

[Marius Dynamite]

Is it a first person shooter?

[Husar]

Is it a first person shooter?

More like a tactical RTS.

[Bijo]

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.

I know, but I'd like a server where I can download with more than 400kb/s.
Currently the only site that could deliver at this speed doesn't have the demo yet, gamershell is too widely known already to have empty servers and all the others have always been slow and still are.

edit: finally, downloading at almost 600kb/s.
Will try it tomorrow if I find the time before that loveparade thing.
Though I doubt it.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

DLing now.

@Edyz - that's awesome.

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.

I can't comment about performance, just ran the benchmark and my average fps were higher than in the beta.
About the maps, the secret is to have a preorder code also called "access code", I saw three maps in MP, that desert map from the tutorial, the one you mentioned and another one.

Well, after leaving my computer on for many hours and probably leaving a carbon footprint of 20 tonnes, the demo has downloaded. I'm off to get my new graphics card, yay.
