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

    «UNDERRATED»
    «Underrated»
    Very nice shooting, but too many bots. The developers constantly force you to test new weapons, so that you do not go through the whole game without trying out all the content.

    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
    I really enjoyed this game. Often times I step away from big franchises that I'm working my way through to play a standalone game for a breath of fresh air. This remains one of the most remarkable standalone games I've ever played. Although some of the messages may be delivered less gracefully than others of its ilk. It uses the medium of videogames and your preconceived notions of the genre to take you further and further down a loop of logic and reasoning that unwinds as the story does. It will change how you see Modern Warfare forever. And when it does do setpieces, It does them really well. But the ending. Damn that's some good shit.

    Absolute storytelling masterpiece showing the true brutality of war and it's psychological consequences deep, complex three-dimensional storytelling with mature themes and great voice acting, graphics are really good for its time, gameplay while not exceptional is more than serviceable and above average, but this is game you should really play to experience the storytelling experience. Probably the best anti-war message I have ever sen.
    Super freaking good game.

    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
    One of the most under-rated games. The gameplay and the storyline is quite good and interesting. The most important thing this game offered, is the ability to decide what to do at some point; that can literally make you the villain for bad decisions.

    Overall, the game is very short but interesting to follow the story events from start to end.
    Surprise game of the last years.
    Never imagined it would be such a mental experience.

    Underrated gem.
