Spec Ops: The Line 2K Games (Yager)2012Rara vez se ve un FPS de guerra que transmita la verdadera desolación de una zona marcial. Spec Ops: The Line lo logra de manera magistral gracias a la sensación de abandono y a lo humanos que expone a los enemigos, lejos del típico "yo bueno, tu malo" tan común en los shooter en general.
Además, en terminos de juego no tiene nada que envidiar a sus compañeros de género, con un buen arsenal y la añadidura de la física de la arena y sus múltiples efectos (hasta corriendo se nota). incluye también elementos muy propios de los juegos de Tom Clancy en el aspecto de enviar órdenes, aunque de manera muy simplificada.
El multijugador no es nada del otro mundo, el típico clase+perks+armas y los clásicos modos deathmatch/por equipos/etc...
