Massive On Soviet Assault on Rock, Paper, Shotgun is an interview with Magnus Jansen of Massive Entertainment, who explains how they are viewing the Soviet Assault expansion as the "deluxe director's cut" of World in Conflict, their alternate-history RTS game, saying: "Of course this means that the best thing we could do is have a Men In Black mind zapper, zap people who played the original game, and have them play this again. This game is the way that it was intended. It’s the deluxe director’s cut." The conversation also discusses the design principles of the original game, how it relates to the Ground Control series, and more. Here's more on his perspective on the new release:

Yes, it’s the /complete/ edition. It’s the old game plus the new stuff in one. It’s like a relaunch as the Ultimate Edition of World In Conflict. That’s really the big thing for me. You can purchase just the new single player stuff, and you can play that piecemeal, but you need to play it as part of the full campaign. Owners of the original game will be able to buy this online, and install it on top of their existing World In Conflict. Everything will upgrade - there’s even a new extra-hard difficulty mode. We’ve polished every original map, we did a full pass on everything from the original game.
