Voice Commands are working really well over here. The only problem i has was that i have a heavy British accent, so Zulu sometimes registered as Sierra. Beyond that, the demo has left me wanting more (like all good games.) Going to play it a few more times and I look forward to getting into some online action.

DL'd the demo last night. The level they show off is rather unexciting and short, but I can see where the game is going. Yes, you use a mic to issue all your commands, and the voice command system is very dead-on. Cool stuff, and I can see that if the action gets pretty intense, it's going to be pretty sweet to use.
Honestly, best RTS I've seen on consoles so far, and the demo has me psyched about the game. I just hope that the action gets pretty awesome eventually in the campaign.
I just played the demo right, but I couldn't figure how exactly to direct multiple units at once, I can only seem to direct one unit at a time. Am I doing something wrong?
You can go about commanding multiple units in two ways: First, you can group units into task groups by selecting one unit, hold the left trigger, and then press up on the d-pad; then d-padding over to the other units you want grouped and pressing up while the left trigger is still held down. After selecting the group, press Y with the trigger still held down. It will create task groups in numerical order of creation and you can then use "task group 1, 2, etc." as a who command.
The second way requires the "Standard" voice command mode to be selected in the game menu (as opposed to "Lite"). Then you can issue a "calling all" command if you want all units of a certain type, or you can hold down the voice command trigger and speak the units you want selected (for instance, say "unit 1 unit 2 unit 3 unit 4" and you will see those units highlighted). I highly recommend Standard mode once you get used to the basic game mechanics, you can basically control the entire game via voice command once you do.
