But I keep getting owned, you guys have any tips?

Thanks.

Rock, papers, scissors.

Tank beats transports, transports beat gunships, gunships beat tank.
Engineers are effective versus air. Rifleman are mostly only good for capturing uplinks more quickly. Engineers can upgrade uplinks faster than rifleman.

Use that system to your advantage and try to create a balanced force. Don't rely on any one unit type too heavily or you'll get crushed once they figure out what you prefer. Try to keep your forces spread enough that a single WMD can't wipe them all out. Save up Command Points and try not to use them up too quickly just to get as many units as possible. Often, a well placed airstrike can be more effective than that new gunship.

Use task groups to your advantage to move more units that complement each other or your plan around the battlefield. Also, keep watch on your units when they get into fights. They'll tell you through voice cues whether or not they are outmatched. A lot of times when you give an order, if your unit knows it's certain death, it will tell you with words or their tone of voice.

Hope some of those help.

This game really...isnt much of a strategy game. So heres what i've done and won every match i have played. Spam tanks, engi's and hele's. Attack quick. And destroy every control point they own. = win in under 5-10 min. I hate this game.

Sounds like World in Conflict


OH WAIT IT IS LOL

The single player demo is on easy mode, I've won games in under 2 minutes using only gunships.  Try the online mode, You'll get your ass kicked over and over.  Its a lot more tactical than World in Conflict (based on my time in the WiC Beta)"

After playing World in Conflict for about 50 matches in the game's beta I think I'm quailfied to give my opinion on the game.  WiC annoyed me because no matter what army composition you used, no matter how well you were playing or working as a team, the weak ass player on the other team with 2 decent bombing runs can just wipe you out and undo a hell of a lot of your hard work.  Also the artillery were far too powerful, a single heavy artillery, well defended can dominate the battlefield.  Sorry man, didn't like it.

I can't stand any part of this game..I don't understand what some people see in it.

Your strategy is hardly invincible, you must have been playing against total noobs. Firstly, destroying control points only removes their upgrades it doesn't affect the victory conditions, and seeing as I would never upgrade them anyway that tactic would be innefective. Also, tanks are slow and incredibly vulnerable to artillery, which coud be protected by transports so your gunships would have little effect on them. Backing that force up with riflemen (that could be dropped behind your forces if sufficient command points were available) could capture points quickly for the win, and they could shred engineers up.
