I got my EGM today in the mail. The spread on this game was very impressive.

This just passed Mass Effect as my most anticipated title.

Well they're ambitious at least. If they can pull it off it sounds pretty awesome. If they end up short hopefully they lay the groundwork for something very impressive down the line.

New EndWar Preview

New Screens

The game’s biggest innovation (and trust us when we say that it’s a big one) is the ability to give your units voice commands with the headset. This is far deeper than the system seen in the Rainbow Six games, as you’ll actually have complete control over their actions. It’s really an amazing technology, and we were blown away by just how well it actually worked. You don’t have to use the voice commands if you don’t want to, but we can’t understand why someone would want to stick with the unwieldy controller-based command system.

Using the voice system is as easy as holding down the right trigger to bring up the command menu, then giving your orders. You’ll start out by saying the name of the unit you want to command, then give them the directions that they need. The units are given numerical designations (so you won’t have to say “Tanks” or “Choppers”) and you’ll be able to see what type of unit it is thanks to a handy little icon. Once you’ve got the unit you want, you can tell them to move to a given control point or attack an enemy unit, each of which is present on the tactical map. I particularly liked the ability to move the camera to a unit without having to navigate with the analog sticks, something that was always a bit frustrating in other RTS games.

While the single-player game definitely looks like a lot of fun, it’s the multiplayer game that sounds most intriguing. The demoer described it as a global war of sorts, meaning every match that’s played on a particular map will be counted toward a grand total. For instance, if there are 10,000 matches played in the New York City map and the US wins 7,000 of them, that area will be controlled by that faction. The same goes for all of the other locales, and the global “frontlines” will be updated dynamically every 24 hours. This means that there will (hopefully) be a back and forth going on for game’s life on Xbox Live.

There are a number of other cool features that we learned about, but we can’t really tell you about them just yet. We can say that there will be a saved films feature that will allow you to watch the world’s best players in action, as well as a varied co-op mode that lets players team up with friends and AI-controlled “teammates.” It looks like Tom Clancy’s EndWar will be the RTS for people who don’t typically like that sort of game, and we can’t wait to spend some more time with it. Be sure to check out our hands-on impressions of the game in the coming weeks!

I haven't known about this game until just now, and this seems like it's going to be awesome.

Re: New Tom Clancy Game

The new RB6V-2 comes with an additional disk dedicated to this game. I'm pretty sure it's NOT a demo. I think the disk has some videos or an "inside look" at the making of the game

Ditto, I'm tired of the genre, but this looks it might be special.

I agree

After watching that video, I'm a believer

Re: New Tom Clancy Game

A few of those girls looked hot playing that game.... But the game is definitely intriguing i used to play those kind of games long ago but it's 2008 so it just has to be much better now, especially if Tom is making it.

Re: New Tom Clancy Game

Re: New Tom Clancy Game

I've been looking out for this one and it looks very interesting. Looking forward to more videos of it.

Re: New Tom Clancy Game

I just dont know if I would feel disconnected by barely using the controller.
