Players begin by choosing a team: depending on the map, players choose between the US and NATO, or the Soviet Union. As such, it plays quite differently from the average at times. World in Conflict is a real-time strategy game with several aspects of real-time tactical games. World in Conflict received its first expansion, a 'mission pack' entitled World In Conflict: Soviet Assault in 2009. The US collector's edition of World in Conflict came with an authentic piece of the Berlin Wall, as well as other extra content and achievements in game. Players that work more cohesively and as a team, balancing the distribution of roles and making maximum use of their Tactical Aid, will often times be the victorious team. World in Conflict emphasizes team-play over individual actions. As a player helps their team, either by destroying enemies or by capturing and reinforcing 'Command Points,вЂќ they earn 'Tactical Aid Points' used to call in support from off the battlefield. Depending on their 'Role' (which class of units they specialize in) in the battle, players can call on certain units to aid in the overall conflict. Players are allotted a certain number of 'Reinforcement Points' that they can use to call in support. While World in Conflict is considered to be an RTS, it plays dramatically different than a traditional RTS. World in Conflict takes place in 1989, but instead of the Cold War coming to a close, the Soviet Union attacks and a 'World War III' begins. World in Conflict is a Real-Time Strategy game developed by the Swedish game company Massive Entertainment and published by Sierra Entertainment (later Ubisoft Entertainment).
