[Combine Hybrid]

9GB? **** it...

[Stigmata]

For the purposes of this beta, I live in the United Kingdom.

[Absinthe]

Nine gigabytes? Wow.

[Gunner]

Hey look a beta that doesn't involve Fileplanet!

[TCfromBN]

[AmishSlayer]

Errr....deja vu.

I could've sworn this beta had just closed.

[Qonfused]

Amazing isn't it?

[DEATHMASTER]

isn't the world always in conflict!

[Bob_Marley]

Errr....deja vu.

The closed beta just closed.

This is the open beta.

[Shakermaker]

Really looking forward to this. A couple of buddies of mine played the closed beta and they were very enthusiastic. It's basically the RTS-version of the Battlefield-series.

It is?

When I played it it was much more like Ground Control, but in 1989...

Were the classes implemented yet when you played the beta? That was supposedly the main thing that made it play a little like BF. I wouldn't know since I didn't play it yet.

Yes, they were. Infantry and armor FTW.

[Bob_Marley]

Indeed.

Just pray you dont get a team of goons who decide that they all need to be support and use heavy arty.

Hehe, sprint and TAs :D

I managed to launch a total of 4 nukes. Quite impressive, better than in other games nowadays.

[DEATH eVADER]

Signed up with my very blood :P

Just for fun, I'll spend a whole match using infantry, even when the nukes are dropping :D

[Mutley]

9gb? Sounds like a good tactic to make people go out and buy it, lol.

[Bob_Marley]

It does seem rather large in comparison with the closed beta, which was only about 2 gigs :O

Single player? Many maps? :O

[DEATH eVADER]

mini-games make up around 4gb of the content

[Bob_Marley]

[Sir Phoenixx]

Does anyone know why the beta is only for Europe and Russia?

[Shakermaker]

Does anyone know why the beta is only for Europe and Russia?

That's probably because it's a MP beta. Massive is a European company. Maybe you can only play on official servers.

[DigiQ8]

got key
but ...9gb wtf

[Bob_Marley]

Does anyone know why the beta is only for Europe and Russia?

Because Europe > The rest of the world :p

[Stigmata]

So uh... what is this game anyway :P

[Hazar]

it's an rts

minigames though?

[Bob_Marley]

So uh... what is this game anyway :P

Ground Control.

But in 1989, with better graphics and different factions to suit the era.

so basically, made of awesome.

[Kyorisu]

you'll be able to download it monday, the 9 gb by bittorent D:

Pfft bittorrent. I'll be sure to link a few direct hax download links from Internode come release. Also because OP post fails;

There are a number of places around the place which are giving away beta keys for World in Conflict.

Internode (http://games.internode.on.net/content.php?mode=news&id=1489), GameArena (http://www.gamearena.com.au/competitions/wicbeta/) and Atomic (http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/article.asp?SCID=&CIID=85363) have promotions going at the moment.

Aus FTW!

[Acepilotf14]

Bah. I dunno how to use bitorrent..
I like fileplanet.. I'm a subscriber, bitches!

[Sir Phoenixx]

Does anyone know of any links to download this besides the torrent? The highest I can get on the torrent is like 10KB/s.

[Hazar]

lol, probably not too many people willing to host a 9gb file

I haven't started mine yet though

[Sir Phoenixx]

It's a 1.7gb file. Either the current torrent file is incorrect/corrupted, or that 9gb is probably the space required for the install.

[Hazar]

ahh, that would make more sense

[Sir Phoenixx]

[Social Bacon]

I tried downloading it once, could only get 60KB/s. Therefore it would take 7.5hrs. Computer died with 1hr left to go D:
But thanks to this (http://games.internode.on.net/filelist.php?app=447&menu=16) I'm now getting 400KB/s.

If this proves not to be worth all the problems it's causing me I'm going to kill a kitten...

[Uriel]

I just played the tutorial, quite fun and entertaining, really enjoyed it.

I'd call it a souped up C&C Generals, but a lot more graphically amazing. Explosions are awesome.

[Lucid]

It's alright.

Tutorial was ****ing irritating, I'd say for anyone that's played the Ground Control series... just skip the tutorial... everything was self explanatory.

Graphically, it's pretty... but lacks the visual flair most RTSes of today have.(Company of Heroes, Age of Empires 3, Empire at War, Medieval 2 etc.)
Explosions are very flashy, I mean that literally too.

I haven't had a chance to play on a decent server yet, so that's still left for judgment.

[Stigmata]

What's everybody's profile name? Mine is Soupstorm (obvious for anyone who's played with me).

[baka-raven]

I play as Bakaraven :) Great game... love the different roles you can be :)

[TCfromBN]

Anyone playing the multiplayer beta? Hit me up on xfire at tcfrombn.
