    Spec Ops: The Line Demo Released

    Yesterday (or maybe the day before), a demo for Spec Ops: The Line was released. The demo is available on Steam and gives you a basic overview of how the game plays and the story.


    It’s been 6 months since Dubai was wiped off the map by a cataclysmic sandstorm. Thousands of lives were lost, including those of American soldiers sent to evacuate the city. Today, the city lies buried under sand, the world’s most opulent ruin. Now, a mysterious radio signal is picked-up from Dubai, and a Delta Recon Team is sent to infiltrate the city. Their mission is simple: Locate survivors and radio for Evac. What they find is a city in the grip of war. To save Dubai, they’ll have to find the man at the heart of its madness—Col. John Konrad.

    Spec Ops: The Line is an action-packed Third-Person Shooter that delivers heart pounding physically close combat through a squad-based play mechanic. Players lead a team of three characters, Captain Martin Walker, Lieutenant Adams and Sergeant Lugo. Each character has his own distinct personality and specialized skills, and the mature story they each play a role in explores the dark side of war in a realistic way, in which there are no good outcomes, only hard choices. As missions are completed more advanced weapons and equipment are made available. In addition, the desert environment of Dubai is brought into the game in a unique way with stunning visuals, and dynamic sandstorms that actively effect level designs, and which can be used to help and hinder progress. The vertical interiors of Dubai high rise buildings also provide tactical advantages and risks that can used be by players. Multiplayer campaigns bring new modes and unusual situations and environments to expand the single player experience.


    Check out the demo now on Steam.

      No problem.

      I played through it last night. It's a competent action title. The AI on both sides could use some work, as could some of the animations (IE: a teammate was pointed to the left and somehow throws a grenade 90 degrees to the right), and I'm not sure but there may or may not be some CoD esque endless waves of enemies until you push up. Either that or I was just impatient and there really is a finite amount of enemies but I just ended up pushing forward anyway.

          Tried it out and at a time i also felt like I had to push up so that enemies wold stop comming. I enjoyed the killing and how the physics where handled. I didn't really understand the executions though, where they there as an extra feature? Or did they actually have a purpose besides being a nice finish off move?
