World in Conflict was developed by Massive Entertainment and released by Vivendi Games on PC in 2007.

This game differs much from others real-time strategy games like Company of Heroes or Command&Conquer titles, we still have units to command, but this time, units are limited by the amount of tactical resources within the game, so every unit counts, and you have to think twice about your every step before engaging your units in a fight. What also differs from other games is the addition of many air support options ready to be called when needed (also limited but easy to get). The story is again the old-fashioned USA vs Russia war. The Russian army invades USA, and we follow the mission of one battalion on their way to liberate their soil from the Russian invasion. The campaign is about 15 hours of gameplay, less than 20 missions, even though the gameplay and story is memorable, the multiplayer component isn't as good as the main game, I haven't found any enjoyment in it.

All in all, a great game worth playing more than once (only because of the story and gameplay, not the multiplayer).
