Tom Clancy's Endwar

[zach312]

Let me just start with this.

 

 

 

:shock:

 

 

 

I just recently read about it in EGM, and wow does it look insane. It's a Tom Clancy take on World War III, set in the year 2020. The opposing forces are the US, the EU, and Russia. No, the EU and US are not together on this.

 

 

 

I won't delve into the game's history behind the war (although EGM does), instead here's something to hear: there's no separation between multi-player and single-player. What happens is that you start off with the events that precede the war and that's all single-player. Once the war breaks out though, you choose your faction (US, EU, or Russian Federation) and duke it out against other players online that are of another faction. It's set up almost like the board game Risk - each area is broken down into subareas that are conquerable. What's also cool is that you can choose how to attack the area, be it a massive D-Day-esque invasion on California or an aerial bombing campaign on St. Petersburg. Oh yeah, and Paris gets captured a lot :lol:

 

 

 

Another cool thing is that it's ant RTS game for a console that isn't a PC port. It was made from the ground up as a console RTS. That means that there aren't 10 million commands mapped to each button, it's all very simplistic. And finally, voice command. That's how you're controlling your troops most of the time, which also helped in minimizing the amount of things you had to use the controller for.

 

 

 

The game is due out on PS3 and 360 sometime next year.

 

 

 

THIS is why I need a 360, besides Halo 3 of course :thumbsup:

You had me until you said RTS (i'm just not a fan).

it does seem very cool, also a lot of companys seem to be going down the MMO route recently.

console RTS are lame I don't see a point, they should just stay on PCs.

:? I thought it was awesome.... till i saw the RTS. I would much rather a MMO that is a FPS

that, halo 3, and fable 2, will be the reasons for me to get a 360.

 

and i'm not a fan of shooters
