Often these choices will end the same way, but unlike most games where the outcome is the same regardless of choice, SO:TL excels at playing up previous plot points, as well as alluding to future revelations, through these sequences. SO:TL manages to take players on an adrenaline-fueled guilt trip through the use of forced, morally gray scenarios such as having to choose between killling two hanging criminals for a crazed madman, shooting your way through a hostile crowd of citizens, or finding a more non-violent solution. Along the way, Walker’s Team, and by extension the player controlling the action, will be confronted with various questions about why they’re fighting the war they’re fighting.

All the while, players can observe how the team handles the horrors they face on the operation.

Players will experience Delta Squad’s journey from completing a routine recon operation to attempting to mount a full-scale evacuation of Dubai and the “Damned 33rd” Infantry Battalion of the US Army. Their helicopter crashes in the desert after a battle with insurgents and Captain Walker flashes back to the events that occurred prior which is where much of the game takes place. Story The story begins with a team of Delta Squad operatives, Captain Martin Walker, and his two loyal comrades, Staff Sergeant John Lugo and Lieutenant Alphonse Adams, in the middle of a helicopter fight in the war-torn country of Dubai, the last beacon of hope for democracy and wealth in the Middle East. The game received critical acclaim and was lauded by shooter fans as well for its thought-provoking, unconventional look at the costs of the wars that people wage. Yager Development has crafted a realistic, depressing, fourth wall breaking look at the price of war for both the soldiers and the civilians that are caught in the crossfire. A well placed shot can cause an avalanche of sand, but sand has no loyalty and can help or hinder the mission.In a sea of me-too, cookie cutter shooters, especially those based on current and past wars, Spec Ops: The Line is a unique glimpse at the life of a soldier fighting a very physical war and grappling with the repercussions. Spec Ops: The Line offers Dynamic Sand that can be used to thwart foes. Players must use a variety of combat tactics, authentic military weaponry and the environment to survive. Heightening the narrative to a fever-pitch are ultra-realistic operations against enemies who are unafraid of death and hell bent on destruction. 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. 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’s emotional narrative unfolds within the destroyed opulence of Dubai. 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 is the next big shooter from 2K Games, the publisher responsible for award-winning franchises such as BioShock and Borderlands.
