I've been looking for a good rts game for awhile now, and I'm thinking about buying some turtle beaches and Tom Clancy's Endwar. My questions are, does the headset work well with the game? and is it too late to buy the game now? Endwar is only 16 bucks on amazon now, and I'm going to use the headset for more than just endwar. (MW2, Borderlands, etc.) Btw, Im buying the XLCs cause theyre the cheapest. Suggestions or thoughts?

Endwar is good, but I prefer Red Alert 3.

No, not commanders challenge. The actual RA3 I was talking about.

I didn't play too much Endwar, but from the Beta and Demo it felt really dry compared to almost all other RTSs. The voice control was completely awesome, but the limitation of only like 6 different units (and no matter what faction they are all the same...) just killed it for me. I know RTSs are based around rock-paper-scissors, but EndWar took that a little too literally and it just got boring after awhile.

And the most fun I have had with a console RTS (well since Starcraft 64) has been Halo Wars, even though BFME 2 wasn't too bad.

As for the Headset part, wait till March 15th and buy the new released X11's. It's the corded version of the X31's basically. You wont have interference and the price is only $60.

I would rather save some money and get a game at the same time. Besides, the XLCs arent bad anyway.

I played a demo of Endwar and it actually worked surprisingly well with the headset. Like, it recognised 95% of every command I gave.

It's a very interesting way to play. Although I can't play RTS games for the life of me, so once I had my fun with the speech thing I turned it off xD

The headset actually does work really well. I just didn't have too much fun with the actual game for too long, and i normally like strategy. Then again, I was never really fond of 3rd person on the 360. I think I would have liked Endwar better on the PC.

Headset works well but even around launch was very few people online and the game gets extremely repetitive because lack of units.

The headset works fine, the game itself though seemed a little below par though. I still prefer playing these types of games on my Mac (WarCraft III ftw) though just because of how much smoother they play using a mouse and keyboard.

Just my two cents. ;)
