    I actually like thr idea of Spec Ops: The Line. War is not enjoyable, there is never a happy ending when you are in it. I often hear people say it's a bad game because no matter what you do, you are the bad guy. Or how it has a bad story because when you follow orders, you are then told you are a bad person for following orders. I feel like I have heard this exact same thing, but in real life. Wasn't there a person who was held on trial for his actions, even though he was just following orders? I like that this game tries to go beyond the basic, shoot them all, kind of game. And that's coming from a gamer that specifically cares for gameplay above all in the games I play.

      If I remember correctly Walker actually disobeys his main order. Ironically if he did follow it the game would have been over by the first mission because his team was to perform reconnaissance and not engage in combat. After the first firefight (which was justified as I believe it was an ambush and thus it was self-defense) they should’ve ended the mission and reported in but Walker told his squad mates to push forward.

      They had actionable intelligence that members of the US military were in danger up until the very first firefight with the 33rd. Isn't "No man left behind" a thing in the US military anymore? As spec ops, they would be expected to exercise autonomous judgement and not callously leave one of their own to their death.

    Spec Ops the Line is essentially the game version of Schrödinger’s Cat.

      For me it's a bit of both. Though the latter I feel mostly in regard to other people treating the game as the former waaaaaay too much, and forgetting that at the end of the day it's just a story in a videogame and shouldn't discourage you from playing other videogames you may or may not like. And not resonating with it/not letting it live in your head rent free every time you play a shooter doesn't make you some sort of psychopath.
      Story is pretty good tho and as a game it's certainly unique in its genre. I liked it and the raised awareness of things it spawned, even if people often take it too far.

      its a game that is arguing for its own obsolescence. if everyone used their critical thinking skills and had media literacy, no one would think spec ops was good. but people were dumb as shit back when the game came out, and even today, a g*mer that doesnt have a sub 80 iq is as rare as a 4 leaf clover. people literally didnt ever have any sort of ? response when it was a known thing that activision was receiving funding from the us army with every cod game they put out. and thats why spec ops the line exists. proudhon said "i wish to live in a world in which i would be executed as a reactionary". this is the core of this games philosophy.
