What do you guys think of the Ground Control games? (Same company.)

 

[Jason]

The first one was many much fun and the first RTS I actually enjoyed. To be honest, I wouldn't be half as interested in WiC if it wasn't for the cred they have with me for Ground Control.

Never tried Ground Control 2. Am I missing out?

GCII felt a bit too much like more of the same to me, but maybe that's just me. Lovely CGI though.

WiC feels different with the focus on teamplay (enforced by those four roles). I would almost say I don't care anymore if the singleplayer is good or not.

These are the system specs btw:

OS: Windows® XP, Vista® (32-bit)
CPU: Single-core 2.5 Ghz or faster (2.8 Ghz for Vista)
CPU: Dual-core Any Intel® or AMD®
Graphics: 128 MB video RAM, DirectX 9.0c compatible (GeForce® 4 MX, Radeon® 8500, 9200 not supported)
RAM: 1 GB (1.5 GB for Vista®)
2.0 GB available hard drive space
Internet connection - Cable/DSL
DirectX® 9.0c

Please note that this is a very early work-in-progress build of World in Conflict. It is not yet optimized
and the minimum system requirements will be decreased considerably in the final version of the game.

I'm in as a gram.pl member. Unfortunately only had time to play once.
Entered a 2 vs 2 game and lost in 3 seconds. WAY TO GO

GC2 was hated by a lot of the fans and had a poor reception in comparison.
