EndWar launch trailer is a total downer

So, if we have this right, the point of the EndWar launch trailer is that World War 3 is basically inevitable. In addition to this, it's apparently going to be awesome, what with giant firefights breaking out right in front of the US Capital Building, France's Eiffel Tower, and even the Kremlin. Seriously though, why not? If the world just has to be embroiled in a massive war, said war might as well take place in some dramatic places, right? Just because we're doomed doesn't mean we can't end it all with a little flair.

The game, incidentally, drops next week.

Wow... in bad taste or what?

I'm no uber-US patriot, but showing the White House getting blown to bits - and at this time in politics - seems a little haphazard on the timing front...

I am chilled ;)

Just thought, for the timing in US politics and the general 'war' thing going around, it was a little, eh, questionable on the trailer-front.

Been meaning to try the demo of this. Not got around to it thanks to the deluge going on at the moment.

Try it. I wasn't sure about it at first, but the voice controls MADE the game. I can't go back to any other RTS now.

I didn't go into the demo thinking the game was gong to be more than a novelty. I have now moved it into my must buy. The vocal commands really make you feel in the action and lets you think differently about the battle. Its not for everyone but they have converted me.
