World in Conflict PC demo

By Robert Purchese Published 28 August, 2007

Out now.

In case you missed our advanced warning, we thought we'd tell you again that the demo for World in Conflict is available to download.

A list of regional mirrors can be found on the official site, next to numerous other download locations. The file itself is a meaty 1.23 GB, so you might want to do other things like clip your toenails and shave while you wait.

The demo will let you try the tutorial and get stuck into a single-player mission, as well as give you a taste of skirmishing against the computer before you try against a real life human person. When you're ready, you can venture online and into 16 player mayhem.

World in Conflict is due for PC on 21st September, followed by a 360 version later in the year (hopefully).

Head over to our World in Conflict gamepage to see all our coverage on what is shaping up to be Sierra's biggest title of the year.

    looks good

    The campaign mission (and its presentation) are brilliant. I am more of a single-player RTS gamer these days, and the demo has wiped away all worries that the SP-part might not be up to scratch.

    A definite buy.

  • dadrester #4 5 years ago

    Saw it in full action at the Games Convention. Looks nice, downloading the demo right now. Haven't really touched the PC for gaming since the Settlers II remake anyway.

  • BobsYourUncle #7 5 years ago

    Played the Beta to death, but got it a bit bored of it tbh. Hopefully the SP will make it worth a purchase.

  • hjarg #8 5 years ago

    Well, looks gorgeous. Effects are really worth looking at and storyline seems good too.

    But- ok, you have a repair vehicle. In order to use it, you have to select it and click on a vechicle that needs repair. Otherwise, it will not repair. You may surround it with broken-down tanks, but it won't start autorepair. Too much micro.

    Same with special abilities- why does the APC need my permission to launch an antitank missle towards tank? I'd rather see it be used automatically whenever a tank comes to it's sights. Or when tank has a lightly armoured vechile at his sights, he could automatically shoot the HEAT missile. Come on, i can't be everywhere...

    Yeah, it's a toughie micromanaging all 4-6 units you're likely to have out at any one time.

  • PearOfAnguish #10 5 years ago

    Bit more than 4-6 units though, isn't it. Don't know which level they're using for the demo but even the first mission of the full game can have more units than that. Micro-managing them all isn't too much hassle when the action is taking place on one screen but once the battle is spread between different locations it's a bit of a pain. I'm with hjarg on this, why should I have to worry about manually firing the missile of an individual unit when you're trying to oversee the entire battlefield?

    Well done Massive Entertainment for having a torrent as well.
