Spec Ops: The Line, is one of the shooter genre game that is being developed by 2K Games Studios and it scheduled release at august, 2 2011.
The Line is primarily a third-person shooter with emphasis on squad-based tactics. The player controls Captain Martin Walker who is accompanied by a Delta Force bravo team to rescue a U.S. Army Colonel who remained behind in Dubai. To accomplish this goal, players must traverse the city to neutralize enemy threats and natural disasters to find and recover the lost Colonel, named John Konrad. As the player progresses, better weapons and equipment will become available to accomplish goals more easily. Squad commands will also be available, allowing the player to direct their teammates to perform certain actions or move to certain areas.
The game focuses on the natural sandstorms of Dubai to provide dynamic terrain changing during gameplay, similar to Fracture and the Red Faction series. This is supported by an unpredictable engine that randomizes when and where sandstorms will arise, as well as how harsh they will be. Sandstorms may open or close paths to the players as well as turn advantages in a firefight.
A multi-player mode will be included as well, though the extent of this has yet to be revealed. Yager describes the multiplayer as a campaign that expands the single-player experience. In addition, there will multiple mode types with at least a few focusing on terrain deformation and expansion.
Cory Davis, Lead Designer of this game say that Spec Ops: The Line is one of the most provocative shooter game today. He said, that means they really will focus the dialogue and narration in this game, and also puts gamers in the choice between moral and what to do. This game itself will take the setting in Dubai, which is said to have destroyed by a storm. Here, gamers will play Captain Walker, of Delta Force. He was assigned to search for Colonel Konrad, who had suddenly become insane while trying to evacuate the people of Dubai.
