The cover system feels more than just reminiscent of Gears of War, but that’s a good thing. In a world where most war games are played in the first person, it’s refreshing to experience a third person perspective. The fully destructible environments make for a truly engaging way to fight the soldiers trying to kill you. Another battle sees you shoot out the glass entrance of a skyscraper’s lobby to bury soldiers in the cascading sand from outside. Throw a grenade at a group of enemies in sand and the sand will explode into their eyes, leaving them sitting ducks for your squad. The fact that the city has been overrun by wild sandstorms adds to the drama and tension, with sinkholes and sandstorms changing the way a battle can be fought and won.īut even more impressive is the sand as a gameplay device. In the few levels that I played through, it was evident that the stunningly accurate recreation of one of the world’s most opulent cities brings life to a dark and dangerous story. The Dubai setting is crucial to both the game’s narrative and gameplay. As Walker, you’re charged with finding the battalion’s Colonel John Konrad in an attempt to discover exactly what happened in the devastated city. Once he arrives though, he discovers that the opulent city has been turned into a battleground, with the military forces who had attempted an exodus mission for civilians going rogue. Set in a sandstorm ravaged modern-day Dubai, Spec Ops: The Line tells the story of 33rd Infantry Captain Martin Walker, charged with rescuing soldiers from the Middle-Eastern city. Now, after a decade of Call of Duty and Battlefield games, 2K Games is reviving the franchise, and after a short hands on last week, I for one am glad they are. For gamers with long memories, the Spec Ops series of games in the late 90s were middle of the road military simulators.
