21-05-2012 4:47pm#1The demo of this is out on the marketplace, played it last night and enjoyed it.
Your a Delta Force team sent to a destroyed Dubai to search for an American Colonel and his company of American Soldiers, who were sent in to evacuate survivors after Dubai was destroyed by huge sandstorms. The Colonel and his company soon go off the radar, bar a few transmissions picked up from them that suggest they have "left" the US army (ala Apocalypse Now)

Im not really interested in single player and trust very few reviewers.
I find totalbiscuit ,Eldergeek etc to be honest guys.
Multiplayer looks good but War Inc does the 3rd person multiplayer modern shooter pretty darn good and its free.

Not finished yet , but this is a lot better than I was expecting especially in terms of plot and the "human cost of war" ok it has holes and the combat is a bit generic , really lacks the ability to roll or dodge in places.
Playing on suicide mission difficulty isn't super hard but there were a couple of parts that took me more than 10 attempts
namely The Pit, talk about tension it's been a while since a game has given me such a buzz from beating a section as I got from that one 
The greatest disappointment was the lack of co-op, I could have sworn that it had co-op when I saw it being played at e3 , it's bloody typical if this had got co-op no one on my friends list would be playing it and as it is 4 of them are :mad:
Didn't play the multiplayer because when I tried I was the only person playing
This would be a great rental for anyone interested in the genre or even casual players. I say rental because of the lack of people in multiplayer.
Edit: I'm on chapter 13 now and get the feeling that the twist or possible twist is being sign posted, hope i'm wrong but after that and earlier events I don't think I am0 -

Yahtzee also just put up a review - and OMG - he liked it and reccomended it.
There are minor spoilers to the plot somewhat, so ..don't read if you wanna play through yourself I guess.

And no, it just means it will be an everlasting list
However, I think that...for every game I play, I buy 5 , and have this every growing list, so in 10 years time I will only probably be getting round to Spec Ops.0 -

All story related but hinge on certain actions.
I just finished it there and it was definitely different... combat was fairly generic but decent fun though I really liked the story even with the various oddities. Also top notch music in various parts of the game.
I'm fairly certain of the areas you are on about and I wish I actually did things differently but really didn't think certain situations through!
Do they though have enough consequence on the story to actually change the ending? You can use spoiler tags to hide it

Dunno tbh
I got my ending but think everyone looked atthe gate and thought nuke emi think they wanted you to think that and do it.
The next moment was the 1st time a video game made me "feel" .
if the entire game was set up to do that it worked.
Seriously i actually said "fcuk" out loud and anyone who has played it prolly said it too.0 -

In a wordNo
There are 2 different ends from what I saw, and I'm sure you guessed which point determines which one you get.
Started playing on fubar last night, after playing the main game on Suicide Mission, very frustrating at times.
Glad I played on the hardest difficulty available on my first run though , as after replaying earlier missions for achievements / other choices on the easier settings this game would not have been very rewarding or challenging at all. As much as I swore at the screen on parts during suicide mission I would not have come away from the game with the same opinion having played on easy.0 -
