It's crap.

I played through it one weekend when I was sick, didn't even complete it because it was so one-dimensional. There's no strategy involved; you get led by the nose from place to place, position your tanks and babysit them while they soak up damage until the baddies are all dead, then repair them, move them to the next spot, repeat.

Honestly it's rubbish.

Ever played it online? Maybe you're just too good for single player.

IGN normally give very good reviews.

Actually I did hear the multiplayer was quite interesting, but I never tried it. I assumed the online players would be dickheads like they are in most games, so I didn't bother, but maybe they're not as stupid as FPS gamers.

I was in the closed beta and it was pretty good.

Multiplayer is a bit of a landmine though. Sometimes you'll get into a team where your allies insist on repeating the same failing tactic over and over because they want to use aircraft or whatever. You can also get people who want to focus on killing without actually capturing the points - I call them "morons".
If you can get in with friends or a team that has a clue what they're doing it can be really good. You need to cover each other, because obviously there's a whole rock>paper>scissors thing going on, and if you can do that you will dominate the world.

Destructible scenery means that you can take a different route round each map every time you play, so it's unpredictable. The beta was originally limited to just 3 maps, thankfully the full game has more than that because it drove me nuts

I think it would make an awesome clan game though.

Isn't WIC a strategy game...?

It's team-based RTS, yeah.

Each player chooses an area - Infanty, Armour (tanks), Aircraft or Support (anti-air, artillery, repair). They each have strengths and weaknesses though, so you need to overlap abilities if you want to survive.

So for example, one type of helicopter will be awesome against air units but very vulnerable from ground attacks, etc. Likewise, tanks will decimate ground units, but can be splattered by air attacks.

I only played the multiplayer component though, so I'm not sure what the single-player is all about.
