As I had mentioned months ago, World In Conflict is a fictional game based on a Cold War that turns hot in the late 1980's. The story of it was written by Tom Clancy, but the most enjoyment offered is through online cooperative play. You join a side, either as Russia or as NATO/USA.
You battle on a variety of detailed maps for command points and domination. You play as a team, up to 8 v 8 games. There are 4 different combat roles to play, so each team must balance the roles and adapt. The roles include Infantry, Armor, Air, and Support. I can play all fairly well except Air. You also earn tactical aid points which you spend on a variety of aids. If you are pestered by infantry troops in an urban region you can call in a chemical strike, or have an A-10 rip tanks apart with cannon shot. Napalm a forest to clear the way for tanks, or call in the most expensive aid-the tactical nuke.
