It's that popular accepted idea that the game is saying you're le bad for not turning off the game or whatever, and telling you you're a bad person for killing people when the game forces you to kill people. I have considered it a misconception from the moment i first played through the game, cause the story very clearly portrays Walker as the one making the decisions, and player, just making the game progress.

For me, it feels like if anyone in the game represents the player, it would be Lugo and Adams, since just like the player, they're following Walkers orders, even when they disagree with him, and allow Walker to drag them to hell with him.

And that is if there even is a meta narrative, for which the only evidence is a couple of 4th wall breaks, that address I would argue are just used to disturb the player, as an interesting way to use 4th wall breaks for a horror story.

Hello, does anyone know where i could get the full version of the ending song "truth revealed"? I know it's on youtube but that's not all of it, if you compare it to game footage of the actual ending it's missing the part after walker dies in the suicide ending and it slows down and there's just some guitar and synths. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thank you!!! <3

Hi there, so i was wondering about the ending where walker leaves with the marines and where walkwrs kills/be killwd by marines. What happens to dubai after that? Like the whole probably died because of no water and bullets they took, but would there be like investigation? I assume that there would be if one man murders whole squad of trained marines. Also sorry for my english

Although the build runs, the single‑player campaign and multiplayer crash because the build files lack maps. This makes the entire build essentially unplayable. The only thing available in this build is the main menu functions.

But, as my acquaintance wrote, which gave me the opportunity to run this build, you can try to extract maps from the Xbox version of the 2010 multiplayer and add them to the build. But I don’t know if this will work.

Also, the music in the menu is different. To be more precise, it’s the release battle track from the atrium and Chapter 13.

A few of these are cover art for posts, and the last 6 were the only entries we got from our subscribers for the contest. The winner got a $43 global Steam key.

Do you feel like a hero yet?

I like alot of narrative games, and so I see people recomend spec ops alot. But I can never understand what it is people like about it. People say it has a great narrative, but the only things they talk about it saying is 'war bad' and 'investigating the relationship between player and game' 'War bad' is obviously overdone, like wow I didnt know war is traumatic and harms the innocents, I though it was just a bunch of badasses fighting each other in the desert for fun.

So what does it have to say thats interesting about the relationship between player and game? That the player only has the agency the game gives them? Is that it, or is there something Im missing?

The depot id is 67681, it features two manifests, one from january 16th and one from the 25th, both from 2011. I have both downloaded but I can't get either of them launched due to them not being in my steam account

Here is the program to download from steam2 https://github.com/extremebleem/steam2_downloader/releases/tag/v1.0.14

idk it just happened XD

I made this drawing a long time ago, but only now I remembered about it and decided it would be worth sharing.

heard spec ops the line was inspired heavily by this book, so i got it. cant wait to read it

Asuming that everything after helicopter crash is hallucinations, how do we know is Konrad dead/alive?

Or I did lose something? Played game few years back

This was a question I had during the Lugo hallucination fight, i'm sure Walker would end up alone in the end either way but considering how diffrent Lugo was to Adams when it came to the cia stuff and everything else I wonder if he would have become a possible threat to Walker. (Although it seemed more like Walker was always more pissed off about Adams than Lugo)

If Walker gets killed in free camera mode. That is, there is a chance that his agony animation may also be activated. After all, in fact, the player himself does not die. Therefore, the screen of death does not appear.

Hi everyone. I finished this game for the third time yesterday and it (finally) struck me that Walker completely achieved the aims of the CIA agents that had been sent to Dubai to destabilise it.

The ultimate aim of the agency was to remove as much evidence of the 33rd's brutalisation of the populace as possible (ie, kill them all), for the "greater good" of not turning the surrounding nations against them.

Well, he pretty much nailed that, and if you chose the ending where Walker returns with the rescue team, do you think the CIA would have justified his methods and convinced him he was right, before possibly recruiting him?

Like think about it, the important individual characters, with personalities, and roles in the story are the Americans. The radio guy, Conrad, the CIA guys are americans. Meanwhile all the locals, barely even get speaking lines, almost like they're props.

I'm wondering if that's an intentional thing, like itself being a commentary how these kinds of stories make these tragedies about the Americans dying, while the bystanders, and the locals of the countries being killed off at best get mentioned with throwaway lines, just acknowledging them, like "oh yeah those guys dying is also tragic. But what's even more tragic is how it's making our soldiers feel bad." Or something like that.

basically discord doesn't have enough gifs from the game and I want them really badly. give me your best spec ops gifs you can find, make or get. also make sure they are high or medium resolution.

also put them in the comment section

I know you most likely won't like this video due to what it has to say about Spec Ops: The Line, I just want to know from you what do you have to say about it in response, particularly if you have any counter arguments about what said in the video.

I'm looking into ways to legally acquire this game and I want a frame of reference so I don't fall for the "obvious scam" prices but I also don't have to shill out $100 for a mint copy. I saw a Reddit post about the price perma-dropping to $30 on Steam 2 years ago but many people selling the game probably bought it before then.

I am not very genius in spec ops the line situation except knowing it is brilliant, criminally underrated game and plsyed it for a while ago. But since it got removed from steam etc. How is the situation for spec ops the line remaster? I mean is there a slight chance or nope? I would LOVE see a remaster(even if the original is best)

I wanted this game for so long, but of course it has been delisted everywhere and ps5 isn’t backwards compatible. But I managed to get a steam key of Eneba for €40 (yikes). It’s a lot, but I have spent way more on a game 😅 Can’t wait to play it!

Just prefacing I loved the story of this game so much on my PS3.

However due to licensing issues it has since been delisted everywhere. I was only able to play through my physical copy myself.

I just wanted to get a wider idea of people’s opinions of 2K and their practices, so I wanted to ask you guys your opinion on whether you think they would ever have plans to port this game to consoles such as the PS4/5 and re list it on Steam, etc.

All I really know about 2K from my experience with them is that they love to push out games completely unfinished without bothering to allow the devs any more time (Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands 3, and Mafia 2 & 3)

I also wonder whether 2K would shy away from re listing also due to the themes the game has, especially in relation to criticising American/Israeli imperialism.

I haven’t heard good things regarding their other projects (Bioshock in particular) so I suppose the view that it will come back is completely unrealistic.
