It was an underwhelming but entirely competent take on the third person cover based shooter, which is possibly why the game never achieved mass popularity. The actual gameplay of Spec Ops The Line was less memorable, including the unnecessary addition of multiplayer. The game also delivers a sympathetic portrait of post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) that so many of our military men and women are dealing with long after they leave the war zone. Spec Ops The Line perfectly conveys human loss as well as the psychological effects it has on the soldiers.

Imagery like this will haunt you long after the game ends.Д¬all of Duty Modern Warfare 2вЂ™s infamous opening level No Russian was an attempt to show the horrors of innocent lives sacrificed in war, but it failed miserably and came across as nothing more than gratuitous violence. Whereas Call of Duty, Battlefield, and most military shooters make you feel like a hero, Spec Ops The Line presents the player as the war criminal, itвЂ™s a fine line. One particular scene involving white phosphorous so haunted me that I can still close my eyes and see the tragic outcome that I was responsible for. What takes place over the fifteen chapters of the game is one of the most harrowing tales of war that not only makes you question your decisions, but also feel guilt and remorse for the events they cause. The team is lead by your in game alter ego, Martin Walker voiced by Nolan North who served under Konrad in Afghanistan and thinks of him as a mentor and hero. Death tollвЂ¦too many.вЂќ This is where you come in, part of a covert three man Delta Force team sent to Dubai to investigate. Attempted evacuation of Dubai ended in complete failure.

The caravan never made it out, Dubai was declared a no-manвЂ™s-land with all travel to the city prohibited and the 33rd were accused of treason and disowned. This resulted in a truce of sorts and the 33rd stated that they were going to lead a caravan out of the city. Nolan North provides the voice of Martin Walker.ДЄ Black Ops squad was sent to investigate and decided that the best plan was to have the locals form a rebellion to drive out the 33rd. Some soldiers from the 33rd tried to stage a coup against Konrad but failed and were exiled. Colonel John Konrad was the troubled leader of the вЂњDamned 33rdвЂќ and as the storms intensified and resources became scarce, Konrad a highly decorated commander snapped, declared martial law and committed heinous war crimes on the civilians.
