So i have a question on the level of destruction that hte WMDs in EndWar are going to do - for anyone who has played World in Conflict, do you think the EndWar WMDs will be as powerful as the WiC tactical nuke? (especially the Russian tac. nuke?)
also, do you think each one will do as much damage as the other or will each WMD have different effects? (like in C&C Generals)
Rods from God - how big an explosion?
EF Laser Sat. - how will it make a big boom? will it be like the Ion Cannon in C&C3 where it superheats the air or something? or will you be able to control it like the partical cannon in C&C Generals?
Russian Nukes - more or less powerful than the World in Conflict nukes? will there be an EMP? and how long will radiation from the explosion last in game?

well, there are other topics on this already. Since the map is only 1 mile square, the WMD'S are brogught downin poweR to a bigger pace, as to not just obliderate the whole map in one strike. So no the big boom your hopin of taking out, 10 miles with boom and alot with radiation or afterschok will be to less than half a mile in power :P

It will be dumbed down as sparta suggested, truth is we don't know anything about their respective strentghs/effects/accuracy.

I'd expect the following.

Nuke- kills all in radius and prolly nocks out everything thats in it, less accuarate
Rods- same as Nuke in regards of killing power, maybe more centered leaving less NBC tanks stadning that would survive the nuke (more centerd power)
LAz0r- Prolly goes like this:
EF field commander: we need a the space laser
EF space laser command: IMA CHARGIN MY LASER
EF field commander: WtF ? ROFL
EF space laser command: SWOOP DA WHOOP
End of enemy.

The EF laser will ikely be the ion cannon-ish from C&C generals, or be like ion cannon TW style blasting everything away and leave merely a bottom of glass.

Can youguys write in actaul pararaphs and put spaces between your paragraphs? Thank you. Im incapable of reading walls of text...even if it is spaced out.

The explosions can't be that big because the maps are only 1 sq. mile. If you don't believe me, the map size is in DEV q/a.

It depends on which one of the WMD's you choose to use that will dictate the destructive power. An upgraded Air-strike (not an WMD, I know) will cause a huge amount of damage if used correctly, but don't think of the WMD's as nukes since dropping one does not mean the whole map dies. While some people are unhappy with the idea of having WMD's available, they would be even more annoyed if it was actually a nuke which just obliterated your entire army.

The WMD's do cause a good amount of damage but that is mainly down to how accurately and tactically you place it. Plus they are great fun to look at when they go off, especially "Rods from the Gods."

tell you what would we be easier?


why not send all your nuke or WMD's at the enemy?
lol

Based on all public Interviews with the Development Team: Because you only have one WMD strike at your disposal during the EndWar phase. And as Raide already explained, you should better not expect to just use a WMD and win the match. You should also keep in mind, that your "enemy" has a WMD as well.

I'm actually not looking forward to the WMD's i mean if i lose i'd rather take it like a man and accept the fact that I messed up, instead of being a poor sport and saying "Oh no I lost, but i don't want to say that i got my *** kcied, I know! I'll be a jackass and launch a nuke at my enemies so i can say that we kicked their asses hard and didnt get completely humiliated!" in my opinion, the WMD's will just be a complete **** off machine that will provide an unfair advantage against your enemies.

Well, then just don't use them. Simple as that.

but them youll probably die from some sort of massive explosion

Dam, lol! can't really respond without breaking a certain contract

why not tell us about some other game, that is very similar jk

Lol. Just go play some WiC and see how much they affect the battle. That's my best advice to you.

yep, they do nothing in it Lol. Just go play some WiC and see how much they affect the battle. That's my best advice to you.
