Sandstorms, this is one of the things that sets this game apart, yes theyre scripted, yes theyre a pain in the proverbial but they dont half mix things up! one minute your popping heads from 50m away, next you cant even hit a guy 5m away. This is especially useful in the higher difficulties as they can take a lot more punishment than you, but use with caution as they can and will get injured and you'' have to direct your other squad-mate to get them up or do it yourself. These are used by selecting a target and then they try their utmost to take it out. You have with 2 other squad members with different specialties, Lugo: long range extermination and Adams: making things go boom.
Squad Commands, not a new feature by any means, but a less used and very welcome one. i think the only weapon that doesnt have one is the RPG, but not much else you can do with that really.Īmmunition comes from standard weapon pickups or ammo crates, but a nice feature is that if you don't fully kill an enemy you have to option to "execute" him, giving you a boost of ammo in both weapons you're carrying.
I think most, if not all, of the weapons have a secondary fire function, from equipping silencer or grenade launchers, to changing from the usual 3rd person to a 4x scoped 1st person mode. sure its the same mix of AK-47's, M9 pistols and RPG-7's, but they also throw some extras in for good measure and nothing wrong the ol' favourites. Weapons are varied, well placed and fun to use. Now on the lower difficulties you just quickly tap A and he bobs back down and all is well, but when you crank it up to FUBAR and death is almost instantaneous, you just dont stand an ice cubes chance in hell. because for every 10 time you dodge perfectly from cover to cover, sliding into the last one whilst dodging incoming fire and generally looking really cool, theres that one time where you get the stick angle slightly wrong and you just stand up from behind your cover to see what flavour the salad is and generally its lead, and lots of it. The cover system is really something to be proud of. Overall impression a good, solid feel with some neat features that help set it apart from the norm. So thats the intros all done, so now the key points:
The game starts with mini tutorial come scene setter, where you learn the basic controls of cover etc whilst it fleshes out the story and characters. So Walker, Lugo and Adams have been sent in to see whats going on. What they will find there they don't know, all they know that the 33rd Division of the US Army was sent to help evacuate people and nothing has been heard of since. Hi, and welcome to my review of Spec Ops: The LineĪ group of 3 ".ruggedly handsome, stone cold, delta operators." are sent to investigate the ruined and super sandstorm ridden city of Dubai.
