Are you totally sick and tired of that goofy control scheme that people have decided is good enough to control a console RTS? I know I am. I’m a Tolkien nut and I still couldn’t stomach Battle for Middle Earth. Not to mention Command and Conquer 3.

Ubisoft has recently announced that their forthcoming Tom Clancy branded Real Time Strategy game EndWar will be able to be controlled entirely via voice control. In the past voice controlled games haven’t really panned out so well. There are always problems making sure that the game always understands what the player is saying despite variances in depth and pitch. The good news is that they are also implementing a “normal” control scheme using the game pad.

EndWar is set in the same conflict ridden world that most of the other Tom Clancy games take place in and the games development team will be similarly populated. The team being assembled will pull members from their Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and Splinter Cell teams.

As far as how the game plays, the coolest tidbit is that players are said to be able to swing the camera in so close to the action that it takes an over-the-shoulder view on a soldier, ala Resident Evil 4 or Gears of War.
