@Pahalial
I was under the impression this game has a fairly active and enthusiastic (albeit modestly numbered) fanbase. This should make its money back.

Having played the Dawn of War II beta/demo the last few days, I think this will probably go by unnoticed as the player base this would appeal to will still be too busy throwing more orks into the fray.

I’m so glad this is actually going to be released. When Ubisoft bought Massive, I was momentarily joyous, until I remembered that Ubi have their own voice-controlled small-unit-number fast-paced RTS due for PC release soon. I more than half imagined they they would sit on WiC as hard as they could, so as to avoid confounding their arguably inferior title, which seems to be the lynchpin of the Clancy franchises for years to come.

Hooray for disproved conspiracy theories.

Also – no one seems to be mentioning the voice control any more. Is it still to be part of the game?

WiC is one of the few RTS games I’ve enjoyed playing online in random pub servers. That alone was worth the $20 for the deluxe edition (plus a piece of the Berlin Wall).

Cool news. I was a WiC fanboy, but ever since I took up Company of Heroes, I’m a little meh on the whole thing. The tactical shallowness starts to show when you get used to something like CoH.

I hope this time the game is more meaty tactically speaking. It was a bit in the too simple side for me.

Awesome news, I never got around to picking up WiC, so the complete pack should be sweet.

@Heliocentric:
Complete agreement. Microing is just a cheap way to add challenge to the game.

World in Peace would certainly be a very different kind of game ;)
