TC EndWar, call me suprised

downloaded the demo for endwar on xbl.... and call me suprised, the game is really fun! im very impressed with the voice recognition and what it adds to the feel of the game. it is much more intense when you ahve to call out orders via voice than just pointing and clicking. i think this is the perfect way to play an RTS on a console. props to UBI for putting together what seems to be an excellent RTS.

my only real complaint.... the lack of the ability to zoom out. the camera such as it is keeps you way too close to everything, and it is a total pain in the ass to get a broad view of the battlefield. i would much prefer a top down perspective (ala the commander view in battlefield 2) in order to play this game, would make things a hell of a lot easier.

as it is, i can see myself picking this game up on release, im very suprised!

Yeah I find the this new system to be much more interacting, I liked it just one problem. I was yellin the orders and my sister and parents were dying laughing at me and kept callin me a loser haha

buh I just hate the fact everyone is always better then me in RTS so I get owned really badly whenever I play = no fun for me :(.

its a great feature, the voice command, and its good you can use your bog standard360 headset without having to buy another peripheral.

i really enjoyed the demo and will be buying this one. i think its the way forward for console RTS.

Yeah, the voice commands worked great! I heard this was primarily a multiplayer game, although there is a story mode. I'm not sure how true that is, but it has me concerned since I always get my butt kicked in RTS games as well.

My only issue with the voice recognition system is I couldn't find a way to command my troops to get inside a transport, and when they're at the objective, to unload and secure it. I had to use button commands for those. Maybe I just didn't see the proper voice command...

Lol at first sentence.. not that you're a loser by any means. It's just funny how family members react to stuff that you do. No one understands my gaming hobby or other hobbies for that matter either.. so I'm on the same boat as you, minus the laughing part. :P ;)

i figured out how to zoom out the camera and OMG what a difference.... this game is a definite buy with the persistant multiplayer and everything!Roland123_basic

..Care to share?

whenever someone says something about me being a gamer I just give them some comment explaining how its just a hobby like everybody else has. Some people make insane train models, some go golfing alot or some sport, watch tv, etc etc etc theres too many hobbies and things to do for entertainment to list.

Theres no difference really, if you enjoy it, do it. And there are how many gamers on this planet....a **** load. Usually when I say something along these lines people start to agree with me and see my point. although either way I don't care.

and on topic i was in the beta, and while the voice recognition was cool the combat IMO was lame. tell your troops to go attack someone or go to a control point and watch them sit and fire at each other. I could only bare to play two games and couldnt stand it honestly. I would rather play WiC. kinda the same style, u usually only control 4-6 units although u can do more. but theres alot of other units controlled by other players.

sry to cross compare but i am going to dl the demo at some point i think and see if i can get into it. hope not, b/c its just another game I'll have to end up buying that i cant afford :)
