You know...i can agree with you...GC2 had loads of personality..probably even a higher unit count for the player too...WiC really limits it to a lower number...

I think the best description is from a review i read...WiC is a tactical strategy game...its all about tactical strikes etc...In GC2 it kinda like Supcom where you have the infantry in the front line and vehicles supporting them and the arty firing from afar(very beautiful graphics those arty they let off fireworks) so its an entire strategic experience...

WiC you look at it from a tactical point of view...you think only about the role you are in and less about everything else...

I would say,in terms of single player,WiC suxs except the campaign.In multiplayer,it's gonna be great but im not blessed with stable fast connection.So,i dont think im buying this game.

Yeah,GC2's fireworks is really nice.I always buy an artillery just to see the gfx.

I would say that WiC is not an RTS... However, WiC takes the cake over GC2 any day.

Somehow, the more RTS-friendly changes introduced in GC2 never sat quite well with me. It killed the whole tactical focus of the game (Which was the focus of the original).

I dunno, the best way I can describe it would be to call it "Battlefield - RTS style". Its basically Conquest with different classes but instead of individual players, you've got different divisions of the army. Sure, the limited points make it a very tactical game, but it brings it into RTS territory with the Tactical Aid points. Not being the insta-kill solutions from Company of Heroes, it does give the game some strategic depth like do you wait to save your teammates under fire or save up enough points to do some serious damage.

Plus, it isn't even that tactical really since everything dies ridiculously fast making you rely more on managing losses, tactical aids and deciding how to deploy your troops effectively or more verbosely... the big picture.

All I'm saying is, though it lacks the strategic depth of a full-blown RTS, it certainly is more strategic than tactical.

I'm playing the game already. Since the game just released in US, alone alrd have 5585 players. lol. Imagine how many will join when the game reaches Europe and Asia.
I dunno Streamyx can tahan anot, but I think connection stable should be okay la. Since so far I don't get any dc or lag. their servers are well funded. Bugs? Barely found one. LOL.

Here are some technical specs reference...

I'm running it on very high settings, avg fps is 32.
Specs: QX6700
8800GTS 640MB
2GB DDR-2 677
EVGA N680i

My old computer at kampung was running it 9fps on v low settings LOL
Specs: Pentium D 3.0GHz
7600GS 256MB
1GB DDR-2 677
ASUS mobo (forgot wad model)

RM160??? I saw play-asia only sell $39.90 (RM135.66)...
cuz i bought here retail price ($49.90) + tax summore =.=

Hope Malaysia can hv a clan in there la.. beat the crap out of the world. LOL. I like it how they make the online experience, no regional servers, and play with anyone.
I remember seeing a Singaporean clan during closed beta. So, Malaysia should atleast have a stance in this epic game. lol

Check out the game.
