I found a great hack for World in Conflict that I've been dying for ever since I started playing. By default, the camera height is limited to around 40 feet off the ground. You can go anywhere on the battlefield, but you can't go UP to get a better view of things. This hack changes that. It basically sets the camera free, so you can zoom all the way out and have a bird's eye view of the battlefield (just like Supreme Commander...only much better;))
The first thing you need to do is change the target of your shortcut to World in Conflict in order to allow access to the developer console while in game. To do this, right-click on your shortcut, select properties, and in the target box where the Operating System is pointing to your WiC executable file, add to the end "-console".
here is a pic showing where to add the text:
When in game, hit the tilde key (~) and this will bring up the console. Type "camerafreedom" and be prepared to experience World in Conflict in an entirely new way. I find this camera mode most useful when playing air, placing TA strikes, and using artillery...but it really is an all around kickass hack. You can use it in both single and multiplayer modes ;)
one final tip..Do the tutorial first to learn the ropes, and don't forget to use the mouse scroll wheel. When you click and hold the scroll wheel, you can change directions ultra fast with the camera...much faster than moving the mouse to the edge of the screen and waiting for it to pan around.
That's it...See you on the battlefield.

Has this even come out yet?
Or is it like BSG is the best show of all time? Oh wait, no it's not. Your own hopes and creams crushed themselves. You know you've become a SupCom fanboi right? |

i wasn't a fan of the third season, but i still think its the best scifi show that has been written. but the fourth and final series will confirm (or deny) whether it is truly greater than babylon 5 for plot and story arc value. we shall see.

nonsense. i accept the weaknesses of supcom just as i acknowledge its strengths. the fact that most other people can't appreciate the stark differences between supcom/FA and all other RTS does not make me a fanboy ;) ive been waiting to play WiC for AGES, and am looking fwd to it.
having taste, strong opinions and generally higher standards than most peasants that post on TA does not make me a fanboy either :tongue2 |

um, i didnt see what was so impressive about that camera? no different to anything else really. maybe slight added functionality. great draw distances though!
the camera in supcom dramatically effects gameplay, that's why i love it. |

| Supcom you have no angles...no changing viewpoints. You can't see the beautiful trails your missles leave as they arc away from you in the sky. It's a boring top down view the entire time...bleeeeeehhh! WIC Pwnz it ;) |
