The missions are integrated within the original campaign. In the Soviet campaign, the players will be able to take control of a Soviet lieutenant named Romanov, who is under command of Colonel Vladimir Orlovsky.
Soviet Assault was going to be released in Q4 for the Xbox and PlayStation 3 as a stand-alone game, and for Windows-based PCs as an expansion pack. However, the console versions were cancelled. On July 29, , Sierra dropped World in Conflict: Soviet Assault, among other games from their productions, putting the game's future in question. On August 6, , Sierra Massive Entertainment was put up for sale. On November 11, Massive was acquired by Ubisoft.
The expansion was delivered through two methods: online download and retail. There are two retail versions, with one consisting of the expansion only, with another, called " World in Conflict: Complete Edition ", containing the original game and the Soviet Assault expansion. These aren't bolted-on afterthoughts; they bring humanity to the faceless Commies you were blasting in the main game.
The ability to take the role of the Soviets doesn't change how the game plays at all. The majority of fans will be lapping this expansion up, although no doubt there'll be a minority who might bemoan the lack of real progress made by Massive. This, of course, is pretty much the case with every expansion. Along with six new single-player missions, two new multiplayer maps have been added.
The single-player additions weave a Soviet-oriented story around the main US one, telling us what the invaders are thinking, doing and feeling.
The official Massgate servers were shut down by Ubisoft in December However, in , the player community restored online multiplayer functionality through an unaffiliated version of Massgate.
Normally the Soviets are unplayable in the single player campaign. But with the Soviet Assault expansion pack you can play the Soviet parts. These parts are distributed in the campaign and cannot be played seperately.
The player may choose one of four roles in battle: infantry, air, support or armor. The infantry role gives access to various infantry squads such as anti-tank teams, snipers, and light transport vehicles whereas armor allows players to use various classes of tanks, the dominant direct fire land combat unit of the game.
Players choosing the air role have access to anti-armor, air superiority, scout and transport helicopters. Finally, the support role contains anti-air, artillery, and repair units. Each role's basic units can be purchased by everyone but are more expensive for players with a different role.
In addition, each role has its own exclusive units, that aren't available for purchase from other roles. Most units have special offensive and defensive abilities that recharge after use. For example, standard infantry has the offensive grenade launcher attack and are capable of a defensive sprinting maneuver. Tactical Aids allow the player to perform special actions such as calling in airstrikes, deploying paratroopers and carpet bombing.
The game is set in an alternate reality of the year in which the Soviet Politburo elects to take military action to preserve the crumbling Soviet Union, rather than see it fall apart. Their plan was to blackmail Western Europe to get the needed aid, but failing to achieve this diplomatically, the Soviet Union invades Western Europe.
At the time of his introduction, Parker was on leave in Seattle when a Soviet amphibious assault force disguised as a fleet of cargo ships launches a surprise invasion of the city. A combination of regular U. Army and National Guard soldiers coordinated by Parker, Captain Bannon , Sawyer, and a newly-appointed company commander Captain Webb engage the invading Soviet forces in an effort to buy time for the local civilians to evacuate before retreating south toward Pine Valley, Washington.
Here, the elements of the 5th Battalion under Colonel Sawyer defend the town of Pine Valley and make their stand. The USS Missouri arrives and provides artillery support with Parker as the forward observer , ultimately force the Soviets to halt their invasion and tighten their defensive lines.
During this brief respite, Sawyer's battalion is reinforced by Oregon National Guardsmen under the command of Colonel Wilkins. While the project was a bluff, the threat of its existence has thus far kept the Soviet Union from launching a nuclear strike. Colonel Sawyer and Colonel Wilkins engage in a series of delaying battles while en route to the Fort. As the Soviet main forces gets closer and closer, Sawyer elects to make a final stand in Cascade Falls, Washington.
At first, the stand appears to work, as a battalion of Soviet forces are lured in the center of the town and destroyed by a B bombing run, but when news arrived that there will be more armored battalions entering the area, Colonel Sawyer is forced to resort in using a tactical nuclear strike on the upcoming overwhelming Soviet forces. Knowing that the Soviet battalions would notice if all the US forces in the town would retreat at once, Captain Bannon decides at the last minute to sacrifice himself and his entire Charlie Company to lure the freshly-arrived Soviet armored battalions while Webb, Sawyer, and Parker's forces retreat from the town.
Parker calls in the nuclear strike and the missile hits the center of the town, destroying the entirety of Bannon's company and most of the Soviet main force. Svenska Massive skrotar konsolprojekt Swedish.
