World In Conflict is a cold war-based fictional Real Time Strategy game, in wich the Soviet Union, with its economy on a bad shape, demanded help from the NATO. with the help denied and the soviets unwilling to submit to the enemy, the red army striked, and WW3 began. World In Conflict is quite a revolution to RTS games, with various types of units and lots of supports, like Laser-guided bombs, airstrikes, carpet bombings, artillery strikes, heavy & medium and scout helicopters. You get reinforced trough paratroopers and vehicle drops. The main objective is capturing strong points, and the constant reinforcements keep the battle going all time. Support points are earned by killing enemies, and are spent in the already mentioned types of support. In some campaign battles, and in the multiplayer, you get your hands on very strong weapons, like the Daisy Cutter for US & NATO, a Supaheavy bomb, the Incendiary Bomb for the USSR, and the insane Tactical Nuke.
World In Conflict features an amazing multiplayer, with lots of modes and large battles, that always end with several nukes turning the place into radioative dust. And you gotta see the effect they cause on the scenario, because all the map buildings and everything are destroyable. That said, is fair to include that WiC has some great graphics and pratically zero bugs.
As nothing is perfect, this game has its little flaws. To be precise, 3. The worst is the lack of a skirmish, offline custom battle mode. The other one is the lack of Soviet battles, and the last the way the game explain how the soviets passed trough US blockade and invaded Seattle. Little history problem, but thats all.
In the end, World In Conflict is a superb strategy game that everyone should play.
