Spec Ops: The Line
About
The Line is the tenth entry into the Spec Ops series, as well as a modernized reboot. Following the worst recorded sandstorms in Dubai, Captain Martin Walker was sent to investigate the events that took place in the city, after it was cut off from all transport and communication. So now the squad of the elite soldiers has to discover, what was meant by the last message they received from the dense wall of raging sand.
Spec Ops: The Line places the attention on the squad mechanics, where players can give orders to the NPCs, accompanying the player during the game. Aside from the single-player story campaign, players can join the multiplayer matches, which may vary from the solo/team deathmatch to “King of the Hill” type matches. Cooperative missions for two players have been added shortly after the game release. The single player campaign allows players to experiment with the weapons, carrying two at a time and use the environments to their advantage, using hazardous sandstorm to clear-out the enemies.

Spec Ops: The Line reviews and comments
The plot is average.Unnecessary / weak history variability.
Good music and sound.
Interaction with the team is poorly implemented.Its management is terribly inconvenient.
7/10
Unique as hell. A critique on the shooter genre set in post-apocalyptic Dubai. Heart of Darkness themes, Nolan North doing some amazing voice acting. When it came out it was hella controversial with the white phosphorus scene n all that, most talked about game EVER. Hella recommend.
Also am a fan of the gameplay here as far as shooters/3PS go. Not bullet-spongey like Gears for example. Combat is pretty snappy and doesn’t drag
Overall, the game is very short but interesting to follow the story events from start to end.
