I don't think I can play a game that requires me to talk to it in order to play. I feel silly enough talking over ventrilo when people are around.

Nice! Rainbow 6 for the Xbox was one of my favorite games because of how the headset was used to communicate with your squad. Did the PC version have such a feature?

I could imagine this working, not me playing it though. The problem I see is that if Ubisoft wants more people than north america and at best great brittain playing this game, they will have to do a pretty hefty job localizing the game to fit that wider audience they're probably heading for. Merely the decision of making an RTS for a console screams wanting to make the genre more accessible and 'casual' if you will.
The voice feature could surely ease up difficult commands etc, but if someone not having english as native the commands might as well end up a hinderance.

So if you get pissed off during a normal game you can throw the gamepad/mouse or hit the keyboard. What do you do in a voice-controlled game? Yell at it? That's just going to mess it up more and piss you off more. So you yell at it more. Seems like a vicious cycle.

What'd be cool is after each level it had a Doom style ticker that gave you a count for each of the popular swear words.

Asshole : 50
Bastard : 30
Damn it : 80
etc..
