United States of America
Joint Strike Force
Led by Ghost Recon main character Scott Mitchell, this group of elite soldiers is modeled after today's Marine Expeditionary Units which are known for their integration of air and ground combat elements. The Joint Strike Force (JSF) excels in precision firepower and is capable of rapid deployment anywhere in the world. Epitomizing the saying, "high speed, low drag", the JSF is built around small, fast, and light units. It also specializes in state-of-the-art stealth technology and battlefield robotics. The JSF has access to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Automated Sentry Drones, and state-of-the-art stealth technology.


European Federation
Enforcers Corps
Consummate professionals, the European Federation Enforcers Corps is made up of veteran elite counter-terrorist units and peacekeeping forces from throughout Europe. Calm and precise, these highly-trained and experienced soldiers are especially skilled in urban warfare. While their weaponry may not be as precise as those of the JSF and their units are slightly less armoured than the Spetsnaz, they excel in electronic warfare and advanced directed energy weapons, as well as more agile vehicles. Their ranks notably contain many previous members of the elite counter-terrorist unit Rainbow.


Russia
Spetsnaz Guard Brigade
Soldier for soldier, there is no force on the planet that can match the Spetznaz Guard Brigade in terms of raw brute force. Its members are all hardened veterans of Russia's many regional conflicts. Some say that these Brigades are made up of people who have seen too much of war and have lost any regard for human life. While this may be true, the Spetznaz Guard Brigade is a highly effective, determined, and deadly force. Its focus is on heavy weapons and heavy armor. They are also excellent and modifying what equipment they have on hand to suit their needs, so their vehicles often bristle with bolted-on weaponry that the original designer never intended or even dreamed of including.

The game will feature optional voice commands so that the player may use a headset to give orders to their troops, although the troops will only react to valid and game-related orders in certain languages, but are able to understand many accents of those languages. It has been said by officials at Ubisoft Shanghai that, "You can control the whole game using voice controls if you wanted to." Hearing enemy soldiers communicate gives the player a strategic advantage to counter their attack with one of their own.

A prominent feature of the game is the Massively multiplayer online real-time strategy feature. Players choose a faction and engage in combat with players from opposing sides in roughly 40 battlefields spanning North America, Russia, and Europe, contributing to their side’s overall success and changing the front lines on the global map. In a Game Reactor interview, it was revealed that players will have a personal character, and each day the front lines of the overall war will be reset based on smaller battles that have taken place. A briefing before each match will inform the player of his or her previous actions and the current global situation, as well as the possible effects of the battle that they are about to fight. There can be hundreds of battles that last an indefinite amount of time in a single territory, with the victor being the side that was the most effective; there are plans to include game play recordings of the best players' battles. There will be multiple ways to initiate new combat on a continent that's already been captured by the enemy, some examples that were given were a "D-day" style invasion of France, amphibious landings in southern or northern Europe, and a mass invasion of Siberia through Alaska. there will be several different types of gameplay like Attrition, Siege, and Sabotage. If one faction completely defeats the others, the developers can create a new scenario based on the previous outcome and start the war over again. Also, according to Erik Brudvig, "Ubisoft didn't rule out a little 'interference' on their part if one faction was getting a little overambitious."

As far as I know when Ubisoft bought RedStorm they got rights to all the franchises as well as his name and can pretty much put it on what they like regardless of his input.

bummer, I don't think voice command has any room in an RTS setting (if I understand properly what it is).

I don't know, I just can't get into rts games lately, I'm

That hawk game looks cheesy.

Ok. Let me just say, and I know this will be hard to swallow at first... It's not Hawk, It's H.A.W.X. Yes, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. That stands for High Altitude Warfare eXperimental squadron.

Cheese and biscuits anyone?
