The loading screen keeps affirming you that you are on the right track as well. It has over time lured the player into this sense of security like any other game, "your actions are right", "you're doing this because you're good", constantly patting you on the back for doing a good job shooting and killing those that are not you. And this is where the game's brilliance shines to me.
Slowly however things start to feel wrong. It sets itself up as a game like all others that you'll be playing for a sheer bombastic experience of awesome action. It starts you off with a helicopter segment shooting down a bunch of other helicopters in a flashy sequence of explosions, crashes and hail of bullets before blacking out and turning the clock back. Spec Ops: The Line seemingly at first is like those other games. And many of them come with these bombastic singleplayer campaigns where you play the dude (and it's almost always a dude) saving the day. There is no denying how much of a choke hold they have on the games medium as one of the biggest genres with always new blockbuster titles like Call of Duty, Battlefield, Halo and whatnot coming out. I play a lot of shooters, it is one of my top genres that I usually play a lot with my friends.
Spec Ops: The Line is one of the most refreshing, harrowing, depressing and also self-enlightening experiences I have ever had with games. You're sent into city at this point to recon, investigate what's happened in the city, find any survivors and call for extraction.Īnd from here your descent into the heart of darkness begins. With you, you have First Lieutenant Adams, demolition expert and Staff Sergeant Lugo, sharpshooter. After complete silence from the city for 2 weeks a looping radio message is being sent out from the city from Colonel Konrad who tells of a failed evacuation caravan with untold numbers of deaths. army and stayed, imposing martial law and committing atrocities to try and keep order. An American battalion called the 33rd led by Colonel John Konrad went into Dubai to help with relief efforts, but after being called out to abandon the city and it's people they deserted the US. The game is set a couple of weeks in Dubai after a catastrophic sandstorm have claimed the city and decimated it. Spec Ops: The Line is a third-person shooter developed by YAGER and released by 2K games back in 2012.
