SPEC OPS THE LINE XBOX 360 X360

Spec Ops: The Line is a third-person military shooter. It is an entry in the long-running Spec Ops series, but without reference to the story or gameplay mechanics of previous games. The game takes place in Dubai where a series of sandstorms have ravaged the environment. After serving in Afghanistan, Colonel John Konrad volunteered to lead the 33rd Battalion to evacuate the city. After six months, there had been no news of his mission until a transmission was picked up where he explained that the evacuation had been a total disaster. A three-man team who served under Konrad is tasked with locating survivors, then immediately leaving town to radio in command from outside the storm wall and dispatch cavalry. The team consists of Captain Martin Walker, Lieutenant Adams, and Sergeant Lugo, and the player controls only the first while the other two are controlled by the AI. They must use squad-based tactical maneuvers combined with shooting and finding cover to progress through missions. The general story is inspired by the book Heart of Darkness, also known through the film adaptation Apocalypse Now, and it is therefore no coincidence that the Colonel's last name is Konrad, in reference to the author of the Joseph Conrad book.
