Everything Under Control
A frighteningly realistic story pits superpower against superpower in an all-encompassing conflict. Players take control, commanding units of the U.S. Joint Strike Force, the European Enforcers Corps or the Russian Spetsnaz Guards Brigade. They can choose between an extensive single-player campaign and hard-fought online battles against friends around the world. EndWar stands apart from other strategy games by allowing direct control through voice commands. This enables players to communicate their thoughts directly to their units and control them.
Right in the Middle of the Battle
Instead of the traditional top-down view, EndWar uses a unique third-person perspective that puts players directly into the action. Devastation spreads across fully destructible battlefields as hundreds of units march toward the enemy. Cover, suppressive fire, morale and many other combat elements confront players during their campaign through Europe and the United States.
Armed to the Teeth
In keeping with the Tom Clancy universe, EndWar offers various vehicles, weapons and devices based on real military developments. This gives players access to groundbreaking defense technologies of the future.
