Description

Spec Ops: The Line is a new original title from 2K Games that features provocative and gripping Third-Person modern military Shooter gameplay designed to challenge players' morality by putting them in the middle of unspeakable situations where unimaginable choices affecting human life must be made. Features include, a gripping, storyline reminiscent of Apocalypse Now and Heart of Darkness but set in a ruined Dubai, tactical squad-based Delta Force gameplay throughout a horizontally and vertically oriented world, devastating sandstorms which can be used in combat, a variety of multiplayer modes and maps, and deep support featuring two factions.

It’s been 6 months since Dubai was wiped off the map by a cataclysmic sandstorm. Thousands of lives were lost, including those of American soldiers sent to evacuate the city. Today, the city lies buried under sand, the world’s most opulent ruin. Now, a mysterious radio signal is picked-up from Dubai, and a Delta Recon Team is sent to infiltrate the city. Their mission is simple: Locate survivors and radio for Evac. What they find is a city in the grip of war. To save Dubai, they’ll have to find the man at the heart of its madness—Col. John Konrad.

Gameplay


Spec Ops: The Line is an action-packed Third-Person Shooter that delivers heart pounding physically close combat through a squad-based play mechanic. Players lead a team of three characters, Captain Martin Walker, Lieutenant Adams and Sergeant Lugo. Each character has his own distinct personality and specialized skills, and the mature story they each play a role in explores the dark side of war in a realistic way, in which there are no good outcomes, only hard choices. As missions are completed more advanced weapons and equipment are made available. In addition, the desert environment of Dubai is brought into the game in a unique way with stunning visuals, and dynamic sandstorms that actively effect level designs, and which can be used to help and hinder progress. The vertical interiors of Dubai high rise buildings also provide tactical advantages and risks that can used be by players. Multiplayer campaigns bring new modes and unusual situations and environments to expand the single player experience.

The best game in this category !
Even when knowing the ultimate twist, it is an interestingly subversive game narrative with gameplay that is only slightly outdated (not to much). It does not overstay its welcome. Definitely a game for those who are fed up with the nonsense political and social stance of games like COD
Serieusement je met en garde, si vous comptez jouer a ce jeu un moment ou l'autre NE REGARDEZ AUCUNE VIDÉO dessus, ça va vous ruiner le jeu. Il compte sur vos choix direct quand vous commencez pour la première fois et, pour moi, c'est la meilleure façon de découvrir le jeu.

Le fin prend vraiment au dépourvu même si on s'en doute et les différents choix permettent d'avoir une VRAIE différence a la fin. Je tiens aussi a prévenir que le jeu est CRU et une des missions m'a fais éprouver un sentiment d'horreur sur mes choix, attention aux âmes sensible.

Honnêtement c'est les meilleurs 2 euros que j'ai investi dans un jeu.
  • La narration
  • L'ambiance
  • Les choix
Absolute masterpiece, great story. I was expecting classic COD type of a game but I am very surprised. Showing the true horror of war in a beautiful Dubai. I finished only single player, haven't tried coop, so I won't rate that.
Spec Ops: the line has aged very nicely. A great story, good soundtrack, and nice graphics. The storytelling is unlike most shooters and made quite an impact. The game mechanics are somewhat bare bones for a cover-based shooter, but they work alright. the addition of squad commands is nice.
  • good story
  • good soundtrack
  • nice graphics for it's age
  • generic third person shooting
I wanted this game so much... so I bought it...
But when I start the game they say the display mode is not good and when I change it it doesnt work..
I tried a lot of others things and i watched youtube videos but nothing worked..
  • i would like to get this game
  • doesnt work because of incorrect display mode
