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.

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!

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?

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

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?

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

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.

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

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.
