A very underrated video game.
Loosely based from Heart of Darkness.
The gameplay is sucks, but the briliant storytelling is enough to making you feel angered, or cry, or sometimes maybe you will pauses the game because of shocks.
Plus there's many amazing quotes + kick-ass soundtrack that fits perfectly with the game that will make you spend a lot of time to think.
After you've play this game maybe you will find yourself become more quiet + introverted, keep remembering what you've done (and maybe even PTSD, if you're sensitive), searching the entire Internet to find the soundtrack + OST, then listen to those soundtrack nonstop, and maybe become a wiser person. Other war game stories are SUCK compared to this one.
95% of the people who playing this game are all above 18 years old.

Synopsis:
6 months before the game, Dubai is destroyed by sandstorm. Col. John Konrad, is volunteering for help. But then Konrad were ordered to leave Dubai, but Konrad didn't follow orders, then gone dark as more sandstorms forming a storm wall that cuts out most communications.

2 weeks before the game, there's a weak signal from Konrad, telling everything is a complete failure and the death toll is too many. So, the Army then sent Cpt. Martin Walker to investigate. Walker and his team actually ordered to get out of Dubai once they spot a survivor, but Walker forces his team to pushes on...

The rest, you have to see for yourself.
Comparison:
Call of Duty Modern Warfare
-Brainwashing audience to become psychopath(yes, this is real and not found in other video games)
-Many annoying kids on multiplayer
-Same sh*t over and over again
-Only recreating some stuff and call it a sequel/different game
-Always linear gameplay (led by AI like dog on the leash)
-You can(and you will) kill thousands of enemies without remorse
-Making kids become more retarded(too many kids commenting on real gun videos with knowledge based from Call of Duty)
-Sold 5.000.000 copy a day.

Spec Ops The Line
-Telling the audience about the horrors of war
-99,99% of the audience are mature(not always age, but mind)
-No game giving a story like this game before
-Created from the very beginning
-At least you're a team leader of 3-man squad
-Many disturbing scene that will make you regret what you've done
-Very briliant anti war story that is disguised as a war game(even after the developer telling their own plot, people think more and surprised when they connect the dots)
-Sold 460.000 copy only.
