The big difference is that the campaign now lets you see the conflict from both sides, because all six of the new missions have you fighting with a Soviet task force commanded by the gruff but lovable Colonel Orlovsky.
Instead of telling a new story, the six single-player scenarios stick to the same old Russian invasion of the United States and Western Europe in the summer of 1989 and weave in and out of the 14 missions of the first game. The story and setting take a director's-cut approach to the solo campaign in the original World in Combat. While the battles complement the apocalyptic bombast of the original game, and provide a new dimension to the Russian invasion of the United States, there isn't nearly enough content to warrant the price tag. The outstanding 2007 real-time strategy game has long been deserving of an add-on or sequel, if only to continue the great storyline about godless Communists invading John Hughes' America, but this trifle is both undersized and overpriced.
That sums up the Soviet Assault expansion to World in Conflict. Two multiplayer maps that are free elsewhere.
