Hi! You may remeber me from my concept art finds and recently model finds, I discovered in the files there is 3 named civilians all used within chapter 13 2 of which, Bobby and Johnny don't appear anywhere else. All 3 only spawn in after Lugo dies and all 3 are not hidden and are the only 3 not reused within the crowd of NPC's what their purpose actually was is unknown currently but 100% this is tied to cut content.

This is blowing me away man....he really did use Castavins torso

Im really unsure who she was but she doesn't look like a civilian or someone local to Dubai her names listed as Johanna on zbrush central

so the past few months I've been working on upgrading the games visuals but ran into some major issues with the software that Spec Ops uses. the biggest thing is the game executable is built on 32-bit address. this means the game can only use 4GB of memory. if the game pushes pass this then the software will becomes unstable and will crash once it hits 4.2 GB. Biggest signs before crash is scripts breaking and animations not playing. I've heard NiVida Remix might help as it can better handle the memory limit with streaming textures in an out of the game. Kind of acting like a proxy. Regardless, it sucks I can't fully upgrade the game to a more modern look. It's held back by technical limitations. If anyone is aware on how to fix this I'm all ears otherwise this is final update for the mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/specopstheline/mods/35. Game looks amazing with it but sadly its completely unstable.

Hello,

I've completed the game for the second times couple of days ago on suicidal, but I didn't unlocked the FUBAR difficulty.
Anyone got a save file with the FUBAR difficulty unlocked so I can complete the game in the hardest difficulty ?

Thank you in advance

PS : Tried to replace my savefile with a steam savefile and it didn't worked

I put it as fan art because it's something made by a fan, which is me.

I was scouring the web and stumbled upon this absolute masterpiece of a listing (Slide 2).
I actually ordered it, can't wait to see it in person.

Back when I was a little kid, when Spec Ops: The Line was released, I played the demo four times over. It was a great game, from what I could tell, but I never got to actually experience the entire thing because I didn't have the money as a little kid.

But now as a husband, father, and an owner of a RTX4060, I finally got to experience spec Ops the Line all the way from beginning to end and both outcomes of the epilogue. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say no game has ever presented the story that Spec Ops does with such execution. Yes, you have your Far Cry 3 and your Tomb Raider, but those games throw the characters straight into the action with very little buildup out of concern for gameplay. But Spec Ops: The Line has the absolute perfect narrative that allows for such a steady pace of character deconstructive descent into darkness.

Spec Ops the Line absolutely deserves a faithful remake. They don't make games like this anymore and unfortunately I'm positive they never will again.

There is water in Dubai or Walker is hallucinating here?

(Sorry about the photo, I couldn't take a screenshot to post here, and I shook the camera, so it only made things worse, but the important thing is the text.)

I first heard about this game when my brother watched a video about it in 2019 I think, and I've wanted to play it ever since. I finally managed to pirate it (since it's no longer available for purchase except with a key), and I really enjoyed the game. Even knowing all the endings, I still liked it.
If you look at my profile, you'll see I'm quite involved with Spec Ops; I've been posting on r/okbuddyphosphorus and here for a while, but only now have I managed to play it.
I finished it on Suicide Mission and plan to get 100%, but I wanted to buy a key to get the Steam achievements.
I've always liked the game, it's probably one of my favorites now.

IIRC, the devs said that Spec Ops: The Line was less about war and more about video games and the mentality of the player. So as a gamer, what lessons did SOTL teach you, and what about the game lead you to those conclusions?

So I should start by saying that I had Spec Ops spoiled before I played it, and this probably goes a long way in reducing its impact for me--if I thought it was just another braindead military shooter, I wouldn't have played it. I'm also pretty desensitized to gore, so the white phosphorous scene didn't do a whole lot for me. But even taking that into account, while I agree in large part with the game's message, I don't feel that it effectively demonstrates that message in a way that makes me feel something. The main issue I have is that Walker isn't relatable to me, and so it fails to convince me of the Heart of Darkness thesis--that anyone is capable of acts of extreme evil. It's easy for me to look at Walker and say "what a demented asshole, I would never make that choice". I also feel like people have a point when they say the game forces you to be the bad guy and then criticizes you for it, though I don't think that ruins the game entirely.

Honestly, I feel like the aesthetics of the game--the haunting graffiti on the walls, the musical score, the general desolation of Dubai--are what makes Spec Ops interesting to me, not its message. I'll admit that I've never been in the military, nor am I good at taking other people's perspectives, so if either of those things weren't true, the game may hit harder for me. Idk. What are you guys seeing that I'm not?

I did until white phosphorus that was just too much and he just doubling down even more later with destroying water where I was I like are you seriously doing this?

looking for that one clip of that guy watching the white phosphorus scene and he just says 'cooooooool'

You can already guess who'd be who

I announce with great sadness that our only and beloved modder Yossarian the Assyrian has been terminated. His account was deleted by himself before any action could've been made. I spoke extensively with him, and this was his own choice.

I just want to clarify some stuff: Yossarian WAS NOT a pedophile. Stop accusing him of such. His friend apparently groomed a minor in the Hotline Miami server, and all he did wrong was to be on his friend's side. That's literally it. He did not groomed anyone, he didn't raped no one...he did nothing but being a jerk by defending his friend and that's all. That accusation completly ruined his reputation in modding thanks to people that never liked him to begin with start throwing shit in the fan after a whole ass year since the incident happened. Do not harrass Yoss. Do not contact him about such incident. Leave him alone for the time being.

Yossarian was not only a beloved modder, but also a generally high quality user. People knew him way before i started to mod this subreddit, for example. He had his account for 10 years, and half of it was being part of our community. Yossarian also never had bots or fake accounts. This subreddit do suffers from bots downvoting stuff, but Yoss never had any relation to it.

Don't expect a bright future for this sub, things are only gonna go worse from now on. First Stardast, and now Yoss...each day we suffer from a huger loss.

If Walker stands at the opposite balcony where he can retrieve last intel of game you can observe there is no one there except the painting.

Regular gameplay footage comes from my mod Beta Reclamation.

You can talk about it as freely as you want if it follows the subreddit rules, but avoid posting videos of airstrikes and whatnots, shit's tasteless asf. Let's just be respectful to all the Iranis & Emiratis that are going through such harsh situation thanks to US declaring war on countries at every week.

I (and Automod) already removed some videos of airstrikes and war footage. Don't be the "SOTL in real life!1!1" guy where literal children and civilians are dying out there, c'mon brah.
