    The fact that they can "Trick" players into buying an expansion that really isn't one, Infuriates me. I feel like i wasted what was it? $20 for basically just a few campaign maps? I mean common, the Download was only like 10mb-20mb, What a waste of 6 months.

    Over a decade old, but an enjoyable game. The graphics hold up well considering the age (although circular shapes look bad close up) and the story/cut scenes are very good and make you feel involved in the game, particularly as you play both sides.

    If you have trouble running it at the frame rates you expect you may need to delete the Game Options.txt file before running it each time.    Over a decade old, but an enjoyable game.

    If you have trouble running it at the frame rates you expect you may need to delete the Game Options.txt file before running it each time. This is a known bug and raised my frame from 30fps to 110fps on a 1080TI (4K ultra settings).    … Expand

    Soviet Assault doesn't expand on World in Conflict enough to make it an automatic purchase. New players will get the best experience here. [Apr 2009, p.84]

    To everyone who liked, or still likes, World in Conflict, Soviet Assault is a must-have. The simple fact alone, that you’re finally able to play as a commander in the Russian Army is sort of a fans dream come true. Unfortunately though, the original's slight overview-problems still haven’t been solved.

    The first expansion for the award-winning World in Conflict features six new campaign maps from the USSR perspective. Invade America with the soviet army and free the nation with the weapons of Communism. A good add-on for those who own the game and look for further and new challenges. Soviet Assault is a good expansion that does its job well, just by adding a few maps to the original game.
