World in Conflict

New RTS about WW III.
I think I'll buy it soon, maybe even licensed since reviews say multiplayer is great. Anyone tried already?
Looks like there's no playing as evil Russians in single-player. Being evil Russian myself, I disapprove.

My guild was trying out the demo for a while, I believe they all enjoyed it. I never bothered with it though.

I suggest avoiding it unless you possess a rig of ultimate power.

It's damn friggin' fun and damn friggin' stressful as it's a RTS that plays like a FPS. Right down to the way you can just join games that are in progress.

Also, the campaign is very well done, special powers are beautiful to look at, and the graphics are more beautiful than 200 naked women playing Counterstrike.

The only problem is the steep graphics requirements. Heck, my mid end PC can only handle this on the lowest setting..

Just got my hands on it, seems to run ok on medium detail level (I have GeForce 7900 GS). Game pacing takes time to get used too - I failed most of the secondary objectives so far.

Hehe, me and my friend started playing this game at the same time so we jumped straight into multiplayer with no idea how to play.

Was pretty fun.

I have a 7600 and I customised the settings after half an hour of constant benchmarking so that it's better than "low" but not as good as "medium".

Still looks quite pretty though. But compared to the 1 hour of playing on "high", this is nothing. I swear, when we were playing the game and accidentally arranged the camera so that we could see an airstrike fly in from the sunset over the ocean... we were just... bedazzled.

I also like how there's action everywhere, and even the background is active with explosions and parachutes and airplanes and whatnot.

It's a really good game but one that seriously needs multiplayer before it becomes fun. Just like CS. The AI is a bunch of douches.

p.s: *umiman has completed the game with every single objective met with no problems. Nyarharharharhar*

I have a 7900 GS as well, but what is the rest of your rig?
