SPEC OPS THE LINE REVIEW WINDOWS

You could choose to save a CIA agent who could give you information that may save hundred of lives or prevent the immediate death of a handful of civilians it's up to you, but you may not realise it at times. You’d be greeted by images of the dying and disfigured corpses while you wonder if that was the right choice. For example, you could choose to mortar an entire blockade of soldiers, only to realise they were delivering aid to refugees. The choices you make have dire consequences. The effects of phosphorus on soldiers, for instance, leaves them burning and charred alive - a truly frightful sight. Sure, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Fallout can argue about how “war has changed” or “war never changes”, but neither has had the gumption to actually show what war does with such grisly brutality. The fine folk at Yager, the developers of the game, thought it well to show you how damaging war could be. What really distinguishes Spec Ops from the pack is its depiction of war. They sport unique insignias and can use a variety of weaponry, besides the all-but-obvious feature of being tougher to kill. Also, there are elite troopers to further add variety to the fire fight. They require a fair bit of strategy to be killed even at the lower difficulty levels. These soldiers wield machine guns and wear, as the name suggests, heavy armour. As you progress you’ll find yourself squaring off against heavily armoured officers. To keep things fresh, you’ll find yourself shooting more than regular soldiers. We guess this is one of the perks of having a heavily crowded genre basic stuff like this becomes easier to implement. Be it lobbing grenades or shooting with one of the game’s many realistic guns, you’ll find this to be a rather intuitive control scheme. You won’t find yourself at odds against the controller or keyboard at all. In terms of controls, it’s as slick and responsive as it gets. There are the usual environmental hazards such as exploding barrels as well.

In addition, you can shoot at seemingly harmless facets of the environment such as windows to enable you to submerge your enemies in a large amount of sand that sweeps in. You can command your team members to attack specific targets or blind them with flash grenades with the click of a button. Unlike other shooters that concentrate on letting you run and gun from cover, Spec Ops prefers to have you bothered about squad-based tactics. Oh, and there’s a lot of shooting involved as well. Soon enough, this simple reconnaissance mission evolves into a massive conspiracy that stars the CIA, an entire battalion of US Army troops, and a rather insane US Army Colonel. Along with your two squad mates Lugo and Adams, your mission is to check for any survivors in the sandstorm stricken land of Dubai and call for extraction. The game has you in the role of Martin Walker, a Delta Force operative. Controls are as slick and responsive as they get
