ENDWAR WERE DECLARED.

screenshot_1984324115_1196783837.jpg

The Beta will run from June 16th until July 7th. Not a long time, but hey. FREE GAME.

Those who got into the BETA can sign in here:

https://www.endwarbeta.com/

There is an extensive how to play section along with forums for reporting bugs, asking questions, etc.


Did you get in? Did you!?

What is EndWar?

Trailer
Well here's a trailer for you to beam the information and pretty picatures directly into your gray matter.

Gameplay
Here's one with extensive gameplay. And finally...

Hotties
This is the video with a bunch of hotties giggling and pinching and caressing each other while they stand next to a TV with EndWar footage on it. Honestly? I think all three serve one purpose or the other.

If you're a nerd and would rather read and NOT stare at pretty videos/babes, well, here's some infos for you.

- This is an RTS set in the Tom Clancy universe.
- It is rumored that this is the game that will tie together the Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell, and Ghost Recon games.
- This is a game that makes extensive use of the Xbox 360/PS3 headset and voice commands.
- EndWar is just crazy enough to make it work.
- This game is for both the 360 and PS3. Not sure about cross console play.
- The BETA is 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 only.

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES. RIGHT CLICK SAVE AS.

Here's some info on the controls.


What is this thread for?

Well, last week or so, Ubisoft started accepting registration for a private beta. Since the beta for Call of Duty 4 kicked six different types of ass (a seventh has yet to be discovered), and the Bad Company beta was meh, I figured EndWar has a solid chance of at least taking up my hard drive space. And we could all point to it when we apply for future betas. THOSE OF US THAT GOT IN, THAT IS!!!

Who are these men of valor, who tirelessly game to waste time, ignore loved ones, and forget to bathe?

BETA participants will have to agree to a lengthy NDA. Nothing too demanding, but let's be mindful that this is a BETA when discussing it, and that some things may need to be kept secret.

Sadly, it seems that the BETA is 360 only. If you got in, send me your info so you can be added, and let us GAME ON!!

    I applied, but I've not heard back. Guess this means they didn't want my mad beta-testing skillz :(

    edit: this post reserved for the kids who are too cool to get into some stupid beta for a game where you talk to your xbox.

    How to Play

    Giving Voice Commands - To give voice commands just hold down the right trigger and say the command you wish to give. Release the trigger after you’ve finished giving your command.


    (Note - All available commands will appear onscreen in the Voice Command Menu once you press the right trigger.)


    Camera Controls – Move the onscreen reticule with the right analog stick. Use the left analog stick to move the camera around your selected unit.


    Voice Chat – To chat with other players during a game, press and hold the right shoulder bumper (RB) and speak.


    Switching Cameras - Hold down the right trigger and say the name of the unit you want to see followed by the word “camera”. For example: “Unit Two, Camera”.


    (Note - You can also highlight the unit on the unit dashboard along the bottom of the screen by pressing left or right using the d-pad. Once the unit you wish to see is highlighted you can press the “X” button to move the camera to that unit.)

    Me and Kris got a confirmation eMail this morning. However, there aren't any specifics about whether or not they went out en masse or some other way.

    "Bad company demo was 'meh?'" I don't think it was.

    Back on topic: is the beta really closed or are they going to send more out? I applied, but never heard anything...

    I got into the Bad Company Beta. I played it for a week, and I hated it. I may try the demo to see if they improved it, but IMHO it sucked ass.

    I wouldnt worry too much Darley, i dont think all the invites are out yet. Also, I think their system might be a bit fucked up considering I got the same "You're in!" email 5 times this morning within an hour.

    I don't think having other Tom Clancy games helps getting in the beta (if that is what you are talking about), since I own every single Tom Clancy game for the 360 (and a few for the pc/old xbox too) and I didn't get in

    I'm pretty sure I'll have access to this beta, since I didn't go through the normal application process and just had to give my boss my gamertag. Looking forward to trying this out, even though I barely know anything about the game.

    Since you don't even give your gamertag in the sign-up process, it's pretty obvious that save games have on effect.

    No problem! This is fast becoming a game I'm really looking forward to. I always seem to enjoy RTS in principle, but I'm never fast enough to pull off daring or clever moves in execution. I guess I'm just not sharp enough with the mouse and shortcuts. If this lets you get around that, I can see it being far easier to master. That, and I get to feel like a fool while shouting commands at the tv.
