End War - Pleasantly surprising
I've just been playing the demo for Tom Clancy's End War on Xbox 360.
I was expecting the voice control to either be pointless or unreliable, but it was flawless throughout three matches.
Frankly the click to select click to order mechanic should now be dead, it's a fantastic way of controlling an RTS. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

I've played the demo once; I liked the voice controls, they worked great. But I just couldn't get over the limited zoom. I know I should just look out unto the game map kinda like in an FPS; I know I'm not supposed to look straight down like in C&C games. And the mini map's there, I just kept forgetting about it.
Since it was my first time playing, and I never paid full attention to it, I'm sure I could have gotten used to it. I wish the gameplay mechanics were used with a different universe, though; I would prefer like C&C, or DoW, or Halo Wars, using End Wars engine, that would be sweet; real life stuff kinda gets boring. _________________ Destroy to create.

I had rainbow six three for xbox1, and that had voice commands, and it absolutly sucked! The thing couldnt recognize what I said, so the first day I got it, I was sitting around yelling at it to do something, and the guys would go off and do something else! I remember that I wanted them to untie a hostage, and they were like "roger, securing the perimenter". _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
That's exactly what I was expecting from Endwar, especially with me not being American, but it genuinely didn't fail on me even once. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
End war is another prediction of the future like the other Tom Clancy games that will come true :v meh, back to topic, If voice command worked that well, then Clancy is an amazing guy +10. _________________ Please, I DON'T read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
End War is a breath of fresh air in the RTS genre and it'll probably get me off my World in Conflict addiction.
Just like Call of Cuty 4 got me off my Halo 3 addiction... _________________ a title="Cyber Nations, A nation simulation game" target="_blank" href="http://www.cybernations.net/">

Really, I always prefered Halo 3 over CoD4; it just had a cooler universe, and nice weapons, and vehicles.
Plus, I'd rather be a super solder than some dude, capable of withstanding MANY .50 calibre shots, and capable of jacking a freakin' combat tank, smashing through the armored door, and annihilating the driver & gunner, with my bare hands.
It's close to epic... I wanna see Warhammer 40K with similare gameplay mechanics. Awesome. _________________ Destroy to create. All for the hunt to dominate!
I have neither CoD nor Halo Epic, yes? TBH I'm pretty envious of you guys...yes, the cake is a lie. I haven't played Portulz yet. Flash-based, yes. Now stop complaining and get on topic _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
Yes, a Warhammer 40K FPS, or MMOFPS, or I guess TPS (have the option to do BOTH, dammit!), would be RAVING COOLNESS. My fukc, it would be so awesome. Unless the guys who made it fucked up....... *shudders* I don't want to think about that.
Actually, there is a WH40K TPS game being made right now, unless it got cancelled - Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, is what it's called. Being made for the 360, maybe PS3. Graphics look great. They really need to make the Bolter a BOLTER, not an SMG. And make the animations more convincing. _________________ Destroy to create. All for the hunt to dominate!
