- In IGN's recently released list of the Top 10 Nuclear Explosions in Games, World in Conflict has (unsurprisingly) taken first place.
World in Conflict's big portabella reigns supreme!Quoted from IGN:
No game lavishes such attention and detail to nuclear explosions than World in Conflict. Sure, these are tactical nukes that we're dealing with, not the bigger, city-killing warheads. However, the execution is so perfect, from the initial blinding flash of light to the angry, billowing, mushrooming cloud rising high into the sky. This is a game where nukes fly back and forth during a single match, resulting in fireworks galore.
The latest Behind the Scenes video describes the artistic efforts to replicate nuclear explosions, and in case you didn't see it already, you can watch it here.

- A New Distributor for World in Conflict?
- Posted by General_II on July 01st, 2009 @ 04:09 a.m.
- On June 25th Ubisoft announced that it has strengthened ties with Metaboli, the leading digital game distributor in Europe. From this partnership, Ubisoft is set to release many of its titles via digital distribution starting in June.
In addition to using Gamesplanet and Gametap for this distribution, Ubisoft also has confirmed that it plans to provide download services from its own UBI Shop, which is to be powered using technology from the aforementioned Metaboli.
Though new distribution systems don't look to offer much more to World in Conflict at this point in time, considering the age of the title, the situation is noteworthy given the trouble Soviet Assault (as well as other formerly Activision-owned titles) has had with securing publishers. In addition to World in Conflict, other titles that will be digitally released as part of the new partnership include Brothers in Arms - Hell's Highway and Prince of Persia.

- Positron's Almanac
- Posted by Xaph on June 30th, 2009 @ 8:42 p.m.
- Massgate forum user Positron has posted his Almanac, which is an excellent strategy guide filled with sound advice and excellent illustrations.
Not to be confused with a walkthrough, the Almanac does not offer you general rules or campaign strategies, rather, it offers you advice on specific parts of the game. In Positron's words:
"A guide on what World in Conflict is, how I play it, and how I have seen other people play it. The first thing to understand about World in Conflict is that it is NOT rock/paper/scissors gameplay in the same way that Starcraft is not rock/paper/scissors gameplay. There are units, they have abilities, and using the units to their full potential requires positioning, timing, micro, and tactics"
The Almanac's index can be found by following this link.
- Fun Mod v1.2.1
- Posted by General_II on June 30th, 2009 @ 03:13 a.m.
- Fun Mod Version 1.2.1
Recently, Massgate's blahdy announced that Fun Mod Version 1.2.1 is now available for download, after a few updates and bug fixes.
blahdy: -
"Version 1.2 is a major upgrade to Fun Mod featuring several new features, brand new units and great balancing changes all of which deliver an improved gameplay experience. This version of the mod has been tested and optimized to work under World in Conflict Update 11.
The latest update, Version 1.2.1 revisits the role of Medium Attack Helicopters in this modification and fixes a few major stability bugs that caused crashes on dedicated servers."
The mod truly is a real beauty, and defiantly worth a look at. You can view the trailer here:

The full showcase thread can be found here:

As the mod is now available for download, it can be downloaded at Massgate:

If you are confused with any of the new units in this modpack, there are guides that are made for strategy and understanding the new units as well as battle tactics.
The guides that are currently done are only written for support, but the guide to playing Air is set to be posted soon. The guide for playing support can be viewed at this link:
http://216.93.240.36/~blahdy/wic/Fun_Mod/Support_Guide.html
This mod promises to be a great thrill, and we're still waiting to hear more.
blahdy-
"NOTE: It is advised to run this mod on computers with High graphics settings for improved gameplay. If you are running on Low Settings, that's fine but you should at least consider enabling "Full Object Geometry" feature under Advanced Graphics Settings. Otherwise, you may notice that newly added units look whacked or very weird with several missing components."
Other than that, the mod has some great new features, after the updates and such. Proper credit needs to be given to everyone who worked on this modification. Please give a hand to:
*blahdy
*Madmonk777
*Everyone who helped with beta balancing tests
I hope you'll enjoy this modification.
