This is a post from someone who doesn't have any clue about what Spec Ops from 1998 to 2002 was actually trying to do: Funfact, it wasn't trying to make the player feel like a hero, it was trying to put them in realistic combat situations and forcing them to utilize patience and tactics to overcome obstacles, like they actually do in the military, not "shoot walls of sand held behind glass while shooting miniguns from a chopper".
@@Ye_B0i Well, for one, nobody survives from falling off a hell of a tall building. Spec Ops The Line has a nice depiction of war but some scenes are just seem a bit exaggerated like the one I just mentioned.
Spec Ops : The line was so different that I understood only years later that it was the same serie ! Classic ones were nice but easily forgetable. Last one... I'm like Walker, still dealing with it. Still funny how a random little brand suddenly briefly ressurected in a last and unexpected powerful flash that had left a strong impact on the player community before totally dissapearing again.
Yager could have picked any other franchise or start a franchise on their own with Captain Martin Walker, but they chose Spec Ops. That is something incredibly special! Spec Ops has had a wonderful history in the shooter genre. Watching the older games, I can see some relations with the latest game. I like to think the people Walker killed were the protagonists from the previous games. The Line is the perfect game to end the series. If there is a new game, it means Martin Walker did not shoot himself in the end.
Happy they did that the Spec Ops games weren't the greatest or groundbreaking but they were fun and charming in their own right. I made sure to order all of them.

I find it hilarious how they had like 3-4 years of constant releases and then randomly they shut everything down and release their final game at the end of the second Gen console lifespan
Hmmm, it seems like the long time fans of the Spec Ops franchise were disappointed in the drastic change of gameplay, meanwhile the newcomers enjoyed The Line. I only played Covert Assault and Airborne Commando so when I first saw The Line, I just chucked it up to the next style of gameplay.
i like to think that spec ops the line is a prequel and arthur walker is the true overarching main antagoniste of the spec ops series as a whole. as he survive his insane mission in dubai and become a broken yet powerfull terroriste mastermind from ranger lead the way up to airborne commando when he is the terroriste leader that you must kill in the final mission.
But it was confirmed that in the "flashback" in the beginning he and the squad dies and the playthrough is just him relieving his worst moments in literal hell
@@lasa9595 If you actually read the book the theory is from, the development only added that due to the publisher making them add a turret section at the beginning.
Stealth Patrol #bugged lol, Ranger Elite Loved it.. best of the early gen. and my last before Socom came out was Covert Assault. Spec op's was the greatest back in the day. Socom rules, and ARMA 3 is GOD. 😎😎😎😎😎
Why did Spec Ops: The Line decide to tie their game too a super dead series that was never alive in the first place? Spec Ops: The Line would've been better off being a stand-alone game with a different title. Plus these games literally look and play nothing alike.
Went from : *Realistic tactical shooting game that attempts to emulate real situations* To *Generic cover-shooter with an overly forced pretentious storyline about war being horrific or something*
Spec ops 1998 - 2002:
"We will kill all the baddies and save the day!"
Spec ops 2012:
*"Do you feel like a hero yet?"*

this went from america saves the day to the reality of war and insanity

Spec ops made a big Leap towards greatness , I can't wait for another masterpiece
I didn't even know there were games before The Line.
Didnt knew there were new spec ops games after year 2000. Ran mine on PC with 3DFX Voodoo card
This game is somehow connected to my childhood from beginning to end

A sequel game would defeat the purpose of Spec ops the line
@@deafgunner Plus the Line was ment to be a stand alone game.
I'd like to see a prequel about Kabul. There are a lot of references about the relationship between Walker and Konrad back there.

yager took the 2k money and 2k gave them creative freedom telling them the game only had to be a military shooter because of the spec ops name.

@@dvdbox360 It is, they were incorrect.
I loved playing Airborne Commando for the PS1 when I was a kid. It played and looked very ahead of its time.
They went from Call of Duty esque to Apocalypse now story driven
Desert storm and ghost recoon more like.

Spec ops series except Spec ops the line: Michael Bay directed
Spec ops the line: Stanley Kubrick directed
Covert assault is my childhood, use name Bangbang to activate invulnerability 😂
Thank you for the upload.
No sabía que habían varios juegos de spec ops,gran vídeo
Never knew this was a series i gotta play all these ones day
*"Can you even remember WHY you came here?"*
The line is so different from the other games
They went from soldier becoming hero and save the day to soldier becoming insane and destroy dubai.
Gran video, muchas gracias
PS1 Spec Ops remind me of Syphon Filter
Now I know I never seen specops again after greenberret… I only have PC.
I played stealth patrol as a kid, my dad owned all the game's and bought the console's i would just play when he wasnt on lol.
Aw man. I was wondering if I should try the originals, since they're "military simulators".
But there's almost not detail, atmosphere, or tactics.
They were put on the market to rake in Milsim Fans money...the line seemed to be the only game anyone put some effort in
they are pretty alright games dont know what you expect from late 90s games
@@Sleeprocket1 ah yes the milsim market was huge back in 1998 when the most popular games were duke nukem and quake
Only covert assault, airborne commando and spec-ops the line that i finished, stealth operation is too hard to see at nighttime
Anyone have any idea how to play Spec Ops 2: Green Berets in 2021? Used to play it a lot as a kid, and would love to revisit it again.
Use the program dgVoodoo.
Man it went from this 0:01 to 5:22 this

Cool series!
So this games was before Ghost Recon and SOCOM
In one year with delta force game.
Im sure i played of of these games but with a squad of 4.

It is.

.. Spec Ops: Airborne Commando PC ??...
What if Socom series started on Ps1?
Well, this is what it would be xd
Nostalgia PaRaTe!!! 🤣
А где ремейк Covert Assault ?
Went from :
*Realistic tactical shooting game that attempts to emulate real situations*
To
*Generic cover-shooter with an overly forced pretentious storyline about war being horrific or something*
You obviously haven’t played spec ops: the line.
If you play that game with the mindset that this is a ‘generic shooter’ you will be suprised.
Question, have you actually played the game?
Like the line but it feels a bit clunky
Ok but why your nose is hooked?
Attempted it did.
Franchise destroyed with the line.
@Austin Giattino it strays too far away from the original style of play
Franchise destroyed with 5 shit sequels. The line - differently not part of franchise
@@moestro Yes i can agree with this.
Bruh, series was dead for 10 years before The Line.
The Line was the best story-driven Spec Ops game.
dont play resident evil/ devil macry / gta5 /call of duty/zelda/little big planet/ hitman2 /simpson Because against Islam
The first spec ops was ahead of its time on ps1 akin to what CoD is today minus multiplayer
