In real life, the XM8 was turned down by the US Army for its high cost, bare minimum improvement over the M16/[[M4]], and the ineffectiveness of variant configurations (particularly the automatic rifle/light machine gun version) when compared with their purpose-designed counterparts in the same class.

==FN SCAR-H==
==FN SCAR-H==
The [[FN_SCAR#FN_SCAR-H|SCAR-H]] chambered in 6.8x43mm appears as the "SCAR A1" and is the standard combat rifle of JSF troops. The design of it is a hybrid with the trigger unit of the prototype 1st gen model while the rest of the design is the production 3rd gen model. A similar hybrid model later appeared in ''[[Splinter Cell: Conviction]]''. The in-game SCAR is not produced by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal, because US officials declared it to be a different design with its own patent and handed the contracts to American manufacturers. It was previously claimed on the game website that JSF Engineers used a compact carbine version called the "SCAR A1C", but in-game they instead use the standard model. The rifle is equipped with ACOG sights and FN MK 13 EGLM grenade launchers.

Tom Clancy's EndWar
Cover art from Tom Clancy's EndWar (2008)
Release Date: 2008
Developer: Ubisoft Shanghai
Publisher: Ubisoft
Series: EndWar
Platforms: PlayStation 3
PC
Xbox 360
PSP
Nintendo DS
Genre: Real-time tactics

(turn-based for handhelds)


Tom Clancy's EndWar is a real-time tactics game designed by Ubisoft Shanghai for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows platforms. The Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable versions feature turn-based tactics instead of the real-time tactics of their console counterparts. It was released on November 4, 2008 in the United States, November 6, 2008 in Canada, and November 8, 2008 in Europe. A Windows version was released on February 24, 2009.

The game's plot focuses on a World War III scenario in the then-future year of 2020 after a massive global energy crisis, where the superpowers of the United States, the European Federation and Russia battle for supremacy. Each nation has its own elite special forces unit: the United States, the Joint Strike Force (JSF); the European Federation, the European Federation Enforcer Corps (EFEC); and the Russian Federation the Spetsnaz Guard Brigade (SGB).


The following weapons appear in the video game EndWar:


Assault Rifles

M16A2

An M16A2 with an underbarrel grenade launcher is used by the US Army. The underbarrel grenade launcher doesn't look like an M203, looking instead like the fake underbarrel grenade launcher M203 mockup used in the film Predator.

Heckler & Koch XM8 Carbine

The Heckler & Koch XM8, named XM9 in-game, was intended to be used by US JSF soldiers and appeared in various pieces of concept art and one of the trailers, but was replaced in gameplay by the FN SCAR-H because the developers felt it was overused.

In real life, the XM8 was turned down by the US Army for its high cost, bare minimum improvement over the M16/M4, and the ineffectiveness of variant configurations (particularly the automatic rifle/light machine gun version) when compared with their purpose-designed counterparts in the same class.

FN SCAR-H

The FN SCAR-H chambered in 6.8x43mm appears as the "SCAR A1" and is the standard combat rifle of JSF troops. The design of it is a hybrid with the trigger unit of the prototype 1st gen model while the rest of the design is the production 3rd gen model. A similar hybrid model later appeared in Splinter Cell: Conviction. The in-game SCAR is not produced by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal, because US officials declared it to be a different design with its own patent and handed the contracts to American manufacturers. It was previously claimed on the game website that JSF Engineers used a compact carbine version called the "SCAR A1C", but in-game they instead use the standard model. The rifle is equipped with an Aimpoint red dot sight and a vaguely M203-ish grenade launcher.

FN F2000

The European Federation Enforcer Corps Kommandos and Grenadiers use a heavily customized FN F2000 chambered for the "7mm" round, dubbed "E3000 Carbine" in-game.

Artwork and the game's (now defunct) website claims it features an FN GL1 grenade launcher, but in-game it appears fitted with some kind of rectangular foregrip instead.
