Currently in development at YAGER, Spec Ops: The Line is a provocative, cinematic third-person military shooter that challenges players’ own morality by putting them in the middle of unspeakable depravity where brutal life-or-death choices take them on a journey into the heart of darkness. Spec Ops: The Line’s emotional narrative unfolds within the destroyed opulence of Dubai. Once a playground for the world’s wealthiest elite, now Dubai has been reclaimed by Mother Nature, buried underneath the most devastating sandstorm ever recorded. Spec Ops: The Line allows gamers to play as Captain Martin Walker, leader of an elite Delta Force team ordered to infiltrate the treacherous region and bring home U.S. Army Colonel John Konrad. Heightening the narrative to a fever-pitch are ultra-realistic operations against enemies who are unafraid of death and hell bent on destruction. Players must use a variety of combat tactics, authentic military weaponry and the environment to survive. Spec Ops: The Line offers Dynamic Sand that can be used to thwart foes. A well placed shot can cause an avalanche of sand, but sand has no loyalty and can help or hinder the mission.... (more)(less)

" It's sad to see the 2K Games-published, Yager-developed Spec Ops: The Line not only underperform critcally but in sales also. I think it's safe to assume that gamers are no longer interested in military-themed material. That's unfortunate considering Spec Ops: The Line is about as anti-military as a military shooter can probably get.
I'd be surprised if, despite having never played it, most of you aren't somewhat familiar with this game. It's been the subject of some controversy for both its p"
"Steam/PC
Story is kind of good but when it's a cover based shooter that's even duller than Gears of War, you can't praise it too much. I played it on normal and it took only 5 hours so it's not worth the full price. I would recommend buying it for cheap and playing on easy just for the story."
"Gametime: 4h
Completed: story
This one took me by surprise! The gameplay was pretty much like Gears of War. Third person, running to covers etc. Even though Spec Ops doesn't do it as well as GoW. The "world ended because sand" -setting was very well done, eventhough I think they could've used that advantages of sand more. The shooting was fun and I loved the fact that you could one-shot enemies.
And then the story, which was amazing! I don't want to spoil anything, so seriously, play this gam"
"This game be mad grit yo, it has sands in it! Seriously though, Spec Ops: The Line walks a fine line of sand between being a pretty mediocre shooter and a great story. The end twist may be a bit silly, but everything leading up to it is innovative and experimental in a way that no games prior have dared (or bothered) to be. And it works! This game will make you feel like shit for playing it and making the decisions you do, and I've heard some folks walked away from it because of this. Guess they"

"I should've played it on the easiest difficulty. Restarting certain segments over and over again really demolishes some of the things this game tries to do. It still rocks. I can't say I enjoyed playing it. I had to stop playing at one point because I didn't want to go on after that one scene (you know which if you've played it), but I ended up finishing it anyhow. This is probably the most important shooter to come out of this generation, so that's cool. Hopefully it'll succeed financially and "
