Good start but repetitive and boring end
On the single-player campaign, its not really a "campaign" its just a war of skirmishes. There is no real story, let alone even a bad one. I'd expect better from a Tom Clancy game.
You have a map in the Earth's shape, and 3 different colours, one for each nation: USA, Europe and Russians. if you choice USA, You have Russians attacking in the North and UE in the South from 2 different directions. The battles are easy, I never lost a battle personally but When you move and try to conquer land in Europe, Russia attacks and wins in the North, after this you go and defend the North, but lose a battle in South...the other Generals must be retards cause almost everytime you don't fight a battle personally, they lose it. And you can't be in 3 different battles at the same time.
The visuals of End War, particularly the units, look great but they are not amazing (like World in Conflict). World in Conflict's single-player campaign features a lot going on in the background, like civilians panicking, infantry parachuting from the skies and explosions everywhere. My point is, at least match a PC's capacity for stronger visuals.
The voice control system is interesting, takes some getting used to, but it can be quicker for actions, especially across the battlefield and during a significant engagement. Perhaps in future updates they can add more control options?
The units are slow with a capital S! The shooting ranges are close as hell even for the Arty, so all the units will be together when the fighting starts.
after few battles, the game will be boring. Your units just attack the enemy and simple shoot at the enemy units for minutes just to destroy a tank. I mean, WHERE in a game have you seen a helicopter shooting missiles for 3 minutes against a single tank?
How can one call this an RTS game if the camera is fixed on the units one chooses? How can you call it an RTS game if there isn't much reflection on the strengths or weaknesses of the units in relation to those of one's opponents? The fun part of an RTS game is strategy, which is really bland in End War.
The camera is a common complaint of many players, and such dismay is valid. Sure, you can see the entire map using the "sitrep" view, but nothing compares to seeing the actual units moving on the battlefield which intensifies the thrill of the game. It is irritating that the camera is fixed only on the units one chooses as they move, since there is a lot going on in battle.
overall; buy this game if you don't have problem about money and time, and you only want to play another RTS game. but if you dont have enough money or time, wait for better RTS games.
