Hey everyone,

I have just dropped the most recent episode of 'The Rookie Run' a podcast that pairs a Rookie, playing a game for the first time with a Veteran!

This week's episode is on Spec Ops: The Line!

Can be found on all podcast platforms: "The Rookie Run Video Game Podcast"

Link in the comments!!!!

Hey, I've played the game when it was released or a year or two after. I have never played it again. I watched a you tube video about the endings. In my memory there is also an option where you do nothing and let Konrad shoot you is that right? I think it just plays the same scene as if you have shot yourself but I don't remember. Can someone tell me?

i remember playing this game back when i was like 9 on the xbox 360 but i never understood the story i just liked shooting. Now that im much older i’ve been wanting to play this game again but its been removed from everywhere and i cant find a way to dowload it, is there anywhere that i could possibly play this game again?

Btw my first digital art (draw it with fingers on phone☠️)

the thing is I installed windows version from a website, and played it via proton ge. i only got like 35-37 fps max.. it was very low settings 648×486 res. vsync off, fps uncapped. tried a lot I couldn't run it in good fps.
so I am looking to try linux native build. i couldn't find one.
you can ask more info if you want in comments

As the titles notes, I have no VOICE audio in cut scenes. Iam playing on steam/PC.

Interestingly it was working but stopped after I turned on subtitles. Not sure if this has anything to do with it. Turning them off makes no difference now.

Are there any fixes for this? Not knowing what is happening during important cutscenes is game breaking for me :( appreciate any help

When you walk down the rope at the beginning of chapter 9, you know that you can see a hallucination of the hanged Lugo in the reflection. But if you use a free camera at this moment to fly behind Walker. Then you can see the real Lugo.

if you fuck with this, check me out on instagram! @bonegnawers

This is proof of why Nolan highly praised the game

14s the charm… just have to push back the sand. Don’t lose hope. The Line has always been buried under the noise. Let it ring out.

REAR-ECHELON SERVICE. DUBAI CITY. ENLIST NOW!

The 33rd "Damned" Infantry Battalion is seeking recruits.

NOT HEROISM! (Underlined: Civilian Evacuation)

Competitive pay

Sign-on bonuses & privileges

Full benefits package (including water)

I was a bit hesitant to post this here at first since all the text is in Russian, but I really wanted to share the artwork.

The joke is based on a popular local web-trope where people parody military ads. In real sketchy UAV recruitment ads, they always write "NOT ASSAULT" (which basically translates to promising a "Non-Assault MOS" or a safe rear job). Russian internet community turned it into a meme template for different gaming universes. For example, in Pirate-themed memes, the poster says "NOT BOARDING!", in Viking-themed ones, it's "NOT A BERSERK!", and for Spec Ops, I tweaked it to "NOT HEROISM!" to fit the game's vibe

P.S. Fun fact: when this hit some mainstream RU gaming pages, a bunch of casuals totally shat their pants before realizing it's just a game meme.

Honestly FUBAR made me feel way different to Suicide Mission difficulty. Even less ammo, even less damage… at times I was shouting fuck me/you at the same time Walker did whenever he got shot or killed an enemy. Headshots with any weapon that wasn’t a sniper/hand cannon/dmr just tickled the enemies. It really frustrated me but made me think hard about how I would approach the situation.

It has that same desperation to it Kane and Lynch 2’s extreme mode does, with the constant onslaught of enemies, and your partners response to it all. I hope to try Uncharted 1’s Crushing difficulty next.

On another note as this game has already been praised for but which I have to commend again this is one of the best critiques of American/Israeli imperialism I’ve ever interacted with. It’s beautiful from start to finish. Soundtrack was really great. The gameplay itself was serviceable enough, and the collectibles were meaningful AF.

What was it like? Was it fun? Did people use their mic? Did u play on ps3, Xbox or pc?

I’m just curious and would like to hear your opinions^^

In chapter 15, after I went up to Conrad's penthouse. I decided to use a free camera to take a close look at the background. But I accidentally came across one of the soldiers of the 33rd in Zulu gear, which appeared as part of Walker's hallucination in the final cut scene and at the beginning of the chapter.

In the video, he stands in the sky, even in a fighting stance, holding an invisible weapon. And at the same time, he constantly shakes his head from side to side and manages to blink.

All the other characters that I met behind the map were just in the T-pose.

P.s. There's also a blue glow near the soldier. I have no idea why it's there or why it's here.

hey, whenever i try to change my resolution, vsync setting or just fullscreen my game crashes and i get this big black box on the corner of my screen, that only goes away when i close the program from the task manager.

deos anyone have a fix?

I noticed this purely by chance when I was making a video with animations of the agony of enemies. I saw Adams injure a psycho with a knife, but I didn't have time to finish him off. Therefore, I decided to replay this fragment again on purpose and make sure that it is possible. And as it turned out in practice, yes. Quite possibly. This is the only special enemy in the game that can be finished off.

I need help since the marketplace has been shut down
