New patches are now available for World in Conflict to update the various localized editions of Massive Entertainment's RTS game to version 1.010, paving the way for the launch of the Soviet Assault expansion. There is some scheduled downtime on MassGate for the update, and here's word on the new release: "This tenth update for 'World in Conflict' makes the original version compatible for multiplayer games with the upcoming March release of 'World in Conflict Complete' and 'Soviet Assault'. It also includes several new features and bug fixes. The missing maps issue preventing players from joining certain servers has been addressed, a new difficulty level has been added for bots, helicopters can now fire at targets directly beneath them, single-player missions have been balanced and tweaked in several ways, admin spectators can now chat to both teams and much more."
