Are you staring at the sky, missing those wonderful times of yester year when the menace of the Red Bear was a shadow over this country? Do you fondly remember "Duck and Cover" drills as a youngster? Do you miss Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin Wall? Well, have no fear, the Cold War is back and it's heated up!
World in Conflict (http://www.worldinconflict.com/index.html)
Looks like a damn good RTS game. Premise is the Cold War heats up when in 1988, to stave off collapse of the Soviet menace, the Soviets invade Western Europe. NATO responds only to have the Soviets open up a 2nd front...by invading the United States.

Is it a FPS type game were you directly control an individual tank/guy/plane whatever, or a strategy game were you control lots of units? None of the films gave any indication of the gameplay. Looked like videos.
-
At least now we know which game all those guys with quad-sli 8800GTX ultra's will buy. The rest of us will settle to watching screenshots (just like playing the real game on our crappy systems..) :D

It's an RTS without all the resource management crap, just pure fighting.

The Swedes at Massive Entertainment have done a bang-up job as usual. Like their previous RTS games this one looks awesome!
-
Except that their EULA states that they'll load up spyware on your box and potentially include bugs that are so serious they can mess up the whole operating system (drm related I guess).
I'm not going to risk it. Maybe I have to build a separate testing box.

Just got done playing Demo and I agree 110% w/ wolf and ack-ack, this is gonna be great. The biggest thing that impressed me was the tutorial.
" And now we're going to use one of the biggest weapons availible, and I don't mean what's in between your legs"
That was Histerical :rofl :rofl But it also had great help, and really didn't take to long, and the best part was, you can skip the non-important stuff he is saying to get to the "bread and butter"
I give it :aok :aok

The bears fear those Hispanos don't they?
Oh... you mean modern Typhoons my bad.
Seriously:
Our old friends the Russians have been poking and proding as if they were looking for a fight. British and was it Norway last week? The episode with the missle and entering airspace over Georgia. Things might be getting a little interesting soon.

I tried this game, very fun. Just keeps locking up on me. Other than the lockups it seemed to run just fine.
-
Oh yeah, first mission, he gives me an M-1 Tank and tells me to use it wisely. Dunno how to find/deploy it.
-
I never was a Command and Conquer type fan... don't like this game either.
I like the cut scenes and the attempt to give it some realism, but it is too much button smashing.
-
Man I thought this thread was about the REAL Cold War...
Now THAT was fun til someone tore the Wall down..:( \
Kinda looks like Boosh and Pootin are wanting to go Round #2.
Yeah Baby!!!
