World in Conflict is a real-time strategy game developed by Massive Entertainment, the team behind Ground Control. The game takes you to an alternate version of present-day Earth in which the Soviet Union still exists.

 

World in Conflict introduces the idea of "classes" to RTS gaming. In a typical multiplayer game, combatants will have to take on a specific role guiding troops of armor, infantry, aircraft, or support. You'll have to select one of the specialties which will open up a selection of units available for use in each of those categories. Points to spend on these units accumulate automatically at different rates depending on the number of units you already have in the field. So if you've gotten all of your troops killed, you'll gain points back faster to get back in the fight whereas those who already have several units out won't be able to get help as quickly (or at all if they've got the maximum number). Squads of units are typically pretty small (around 4-8 units), but the battlefield never feels empty when there are 16 players moving around the same number of units. The pace is fast and chaotic.

Successful teams will need to make sure that they keep a combination of different unit types together on the field. This promotes some serious team play and coordination to deal with different situations. In a way, it works much like games in the FPS genre such as Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, the Battlefield series, or Team Fortress where teams want and need their members to take on various roles to be successful.
