PC Tactical Shooter for Gamers

Spec Ops: The Line, the next big shooter from 2K Games, the publisher responsible for award-winning franchises such as BioShock and Borderlands, is currently in development at YAGER. This provocative, cinematic third-person military shooter challenges players' own morality by putting them in the middle of unspeakable depravity, where brutal life-or-death choices take them on a journey into the heart of darkness.

The emotional narrative of Spec Ops: The Line unfolds within the destroyed opulence of Dubai. Once a playground for the world's wealthiest elite, Dubai has now been reclaimed by Mother Nature, buried underneath the most devastating sandstorm ever recorded. Gamers will play as Captain Martin Walker, the leader of an elite Delta Force team ordered to infiltrate the treacherous region and bring home U.S. Army Colonel John Konrad.

Heightening the narrative to a fever-pitch are ultra-realistic operations against enemies who are unafraid of death and hell-bent on destruction. Players must use a variety of combat tactics, authentic military weaponry, and the environment to survive. Spec Ops: The Line offers Dynamic Sand that can be used to thwart foes – a well-placed shot can cause an avalanche of sand, but sand has no loyalty and can help or hinder the mission.

Spec Ops: The Line is a new original title from 2K Games that features provocative and gripping third-person modern military shooter gameplay designed to challenge players' morality. The game's gripping storyline is reminiscent of Apocalypse Now and Heart of Darkness, but is set in the ruined Dubai. Players will engage in tactical squad-based Delta Force gameplay throughout a horizontally and vertically oriented world, facing devastating sandstorms that can be used in combat.

The game also features a variety of multiplayer modes and maps, as well as deep support featuring two factions. It's been 6 months since Dubai was wiped off the map by a cataclysmic sandstorm, and a mysterious radio signal has been picked up from the city. A Delta Recon Team is sent to infiltrate the city, with the mission to locate survivors and radio for evacuation. However, they find a city in the grip of war, and must find the man at the heart of its madness – Col. John Konrad.

Spec Ops: The Line delivers heart-pounding, physically close combat through a squad-based play mechanic. Players lead a team of three characters, each with their own distinct personality and specialized skills, as they explore the dark side of war in a realistic way, with no good outcomes, only hard choices. As missions are completed, more advanced weapons and equipment become available, and the desert environment of Dubai, with its stunning visuals and dynamic sandstorms, is integrated into the gameplay, providing both challenges and opportunities.

The game's multiplayer campaigns bring new modes and unusual situations and environments to expand the single-player experience. Spec Ops: The Line requires a minimum of Windows XP SP3, an Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64 X2 equivalent processor, 2GB of RAM, 6GB of free hard drive space, a GeForce 8600 or Radeon HD 2600XT graphics card with 256MB of memory, and a DirectX 9.0c-compatible sound card. The recommended system requirements include Windows Vista/7, a 2.4GHz quad-core processor, 3GB of RAM, 10GB of free hard drive space, and a GeForce 9800 GTX or Radeon HD 4850 graphics card with 512MB or more of memory.
