Erster Patch zu „World in Conflict“ verfügbar
Seit heute ist ein erster Patch zum Echtzeitstrategie-Hit „World in Conflict“ verfügbar. Primär versprechen die Verantwortlichen beim Entwickler Massive Entertainment eine Verbesserung der DirectX-10-Performance.
Neben diesem Versprechen liefert „Update #001“ zudem einige kleinere neue Features wie erweiterte „Customize“-Möglichkeiten für den Spieler sowie jede Menge neuer Feinheiten im Balancing. So wurde zum Beispiel die Feuerrate der Alliierten-Artillerie sowie die Nachlade-Zeiten für taktische Hilfen verbessert. Auch wurde die Bedeutung der Unterstützungseinheiten durch ein Plus auf dem Punktekonto für das Reparieren von Verbündeten aufgewertet.
