Tom Clancy's EndWar Faction Spotlight - The Riflemen

By Staff, GameSpotPosted Dec 3, 2007 4:01 pm PT

Get a look at the three superpowers struggling for global supremacy in this upcoming strategy game from Ubisoft Shanghai.

EUROPEAN FEDERATION

The European Federation is a superpower entity that was formed in the wake of the nuclear war between Iran and Saudi Arabia in 2016 and the ensuing energy catastrophe. These events required all of Europe, with the exception of the UK and Ireland, to band together and resulted in the creation of a single, unified nation. Enforcers Corps Consummate professionals, the European Federation Enforcers Corps is made up of veteran elite counterterrorist 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 "dead on" precise as those of the JSF and their units are slightly less armored, they excel in electronic warfare, as well as advanced directed energy weapons technology and have faster vehicles. The Enforcers Corps also have access to the world's best "less than lethal" weaponry.

Micro Summary: Being a Kommando in the Enforcers Corps is considered one of the highest honors a soldier can have in Europe. The Enforcers Corps excel in urban and counterterrorism tactics and many of its founders and ranking officers are former Rainbow Six members.

Summary: The Enforcers Corps Kommandos includes members that come from many elite special operations groups. This variety is considered an advantage by European commanders. Kommando units are encouraged to stick with the tactics and doctrines of their original units rather than conform to one universal rule set. This means one group of Enforcers Corps Kommandos may behave and function in a manner that is radically different from another. European commanders feel that this will help keep their enemies off balance and allow for more specialized deployments. All Enforcers Corps battalions excel in urban and counterterrorist operations.

Tech Commentary: Various conflicts in the late 20th and early 21st century showed how lacking the 5.56mm NATO round was. When the European Federation broke away from NATO, it was decided that the Enforcers Corps needed to adopt a new rifle cartridge. Ironically, the Europeans decided to go with a 7mm NATO round that is actually a modernized version of a .280 caliber round created in the late 1940s. Immediately after the decision was made to adopt this cartridge, manufacturers in Belgium (E3000 Carbine), France (FMS AG2 Assault Rifle), and Austria (UAR 7 Bullpup Support Weapon) began mass production of 7mm weapons earmarked for Enforcers Corps Kommandos use.

Tactics and strategies vary from one Enforcers Corps Kommando group to another. European commanders see this as an asset because enemies are always kept on their toes and individual groups are able to make a niche for their abilities, as well as make a name for themselves. The Enforcers Corps Kommandos are especially known for their superb skill in urban combat. Few soldiers can match their ability to storm buildings and secure uplinks. Much of this is due to the dissemination of CQC tactics from a large pool of elite urban combat and counterterrorist groups, such as GSG-9 and GIGN. The fact that the Enforcer Corps are in many ways a descendant of Rainbow Six also furthers this strength.

Members of the Enforcers Corps Kommandos pride themselves on their professionalism and hold themselves up to a very high standard. In a sense, they are the perfect modern-day embodiment of the medieval knight: chivalrous, brave, and steadfast in their beliefs. However, this should not be mistaken for softness. Enforcers Crops Kommandos are capable of carrying out their orders with chilling efficiency and are not afraid to make sacrifices for the "greater good."

Primary Armament: E3000 Assault Rifle/UAR 7 Bullpup Assault Rifle/ JO-2 .50 Caliber Sniper Rifle
Special Features: Can take advantage of cover, garrison buildings, can capture uplink points.

    not to sound like a geek or anything, but can i just point out that on the European Federation page it says that it's members came from rainbow six. the team was called rainbow because of the mixed nationality, "six" was the name of rainbow's boss who gives them orders and whatnot. read the book, the inspiration for the game. also, tom clancy does not work at ubisoft. he wrote the books.

    I don't know, Could it be that they use the AK-47... because It is one of the weapon most reliable and easy of producing that they exist. and also that it is like the apple pay for the US. It is a weapon that say's "I'M RUSSIAN!"

  • zealotpsionics

    Posted Feb 27, 2008 8:40 pm PT

    WTF?! RUSSIA STILL USES THE AK-74?!?! dat's STUPID!! Could they have at least changed to a more effective calibre like everyone else?

    Any of you clowns think that MAYBE just maybe the graphics aren't polished yet? Besides, with Wii sales lookin' the way they are I don't think you haters have any room to be complaining about graphics and there importance on the gaming society as a whole.

    first of all only f#$^%s care about graphics so much. its all about gameplay. and the graphics are pretty good its the pictures watch some interviews and look when they show a glimpse of gameplay.

    and u can not compare this to vegas its an real time strategy. Clancy rules!

  • bangell99

    "The graphics suck come on, RS:Vegas was made more than a year ago by the same company and it looks better.

    The woman's sniper rifle looks bigger than her!!And that guy wearing the gas mask looks squarish and almost doesnt look like he belongs in the picture!!"

    You have to remember that this is strategy, not FPS. Graphics are less important. This will probably be the only RTS I buy on console. Looks cool.
