Spec Ops: The Line

Spec Ops: The Line is a third-person military shooter set in a sand-buried Dubai, where you lead a Delta Force team through a war-torn city and face difficult choices about human life. Six months after a cataclysmic sandstorm devastated Dubai, a mysterious radio signal prompts a Delta Recon Team to enter the city. Captain Martin Walker, Lieutenant Adams and Sergeant Lugo are sent to find survivors and call for evacuation; their search leads them toward Colonel John Konrad, the man at the heart of the city’s madness.

Squad combat

You command the three-person team in close-quarters combat. Walker, Adams and Lugo each have distinct personalities and specialized skills, and you direct the squad through a dangerous, unpredictable combat zone. Completing missions makes more advanced weapons and equipment available.

The story explores war’s darker side through situations with no good outcomes, only difficult choices. Its narrative has twisting uncertainties, and the choices you face can affect human life.

Dubai and the sand

Dubai’s high-rise interiors create a vertically oriented combat environment, offering tactical advantages as well as risks. The city’s sandstorms affect level design and can help or hinder your progress. You can also use sand avalanches and disorienting storms during combat.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer includes a variety of modes and maps, with class-based customization and two factions. Its campaigns add new modes, unusual situations and environments that expand on the single-player experience.
