what?
This must be cool
Hell, any modern-era RTS which let's you FIGHT USA are the best.

Anyway, I have follow this game, and I, IWM, the great (not), approve of this game!

[Strife26]

I was planning to actually hook my PS3 to the internet for this one game. I'll probably get around to it eventually. RSR is still my favorite book (although it has lost both covers by now, and is falling apart, sitting on this desk right now, open to page 687).
I wonder how balancing is going to work, else it would probably go like this:

Urist: Infantry platoons Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Gulf, and Indigo attack!

Strife: Tank Echo, move foward and deploy machine guns.

Infantry platoon has been killed!
x6

Tanks win wars.

Its more like.

Control group one... control group one, not unit one, control group one!

Finally!

*Order not acknowledged sir*

Continue for ages, this is a real problem when you parents force you to be quite when they're going to sleep...

I remain skeptical about a game dumbed down enough to be played by a parrot.

A parrot once beat me at Civ IV.

I don't know, after doing the voice trainer I found it picked up almost all my commands.  I place the mic about 2cm in front of my mouth and about 2cm below my upper lip.  Moving it slightly closer should help your second problem as you can lower your voice by a lot and still be picked up.

My biggest problem with the demo is that it's hard to remember what unit is where on the map.  (Unless there's a button I missed) There should be a button to show all the squad numbers on the mini-map so I know who to jump to.

Well, its not based on any books, its actually completely fair in the legal stand point since Ubisoft acctually bought the Tom Clancy franchise. It has many many many aspects from other TC related games, such as the Ghost Recons being the main assault troops for the Americans... and quite a few other references.

and the rainbows (Rainbow Six) to the EU, and of course continuing the Russian technology from TC's novels

*Sorry for the thread necromancy, I didn't want to make my own if one was already here*

I am a massive RTS junkie and this just looks brilliant. There is something about saying "calling all infantry, secure foxtrot" that tickles my fancy. I just wish I could play it.

[Nilocy]

Yeah, it really is quite cool. I just havn't got around to buying it sadly, RA3 took my fancy more.

[Jackrabbit]

I liked the second one. It was insane.

[Strife26]

And I am going to ignore the necro warning and bring this topic back.

I just bought endwar with a headset at Bestbuy for $55 (I was buying a birthday present). The game works pretty well, from my first experiences.

[Jackrabbit]

Cool, so it dos work as advertised?

[sluissa]

I've tried both the demo on the 360 and the PC version. I've had next to no luck getting the stupid commands to work. On the 360, I might be able to get it to work about half the time if I yelled. I do admit, that could be due to the crappy microsoft headset I'm using. On the PC I NEVER managed to get a command to work outside of the voice trainer. And I even tried two different headsets, both of which I regularly use to talk to people on TF2 and L4D with no problems.

Some say it works great, but I never had any luck.

I take it you never worked in marketing
