If they fixed the stuttering, then it would be gold. If I try, it flickers extremely fast to on and off again.įinal Verdict: Honestly, it seems like a reasonable port and an interesting game, but the stuttering is really quite annoying. I have the same issue as with Bioshock, my Logitech F310’s look is inverted even though it’s turned off, setting it to “on” in Bioshock fixed it, but I am unable to change that setting in Spec Ops: The Line, it’s quite annoying. The stuttering I mentioned before is a repeating issue though, and it doesn't make the game a perfect experience for me. The cover system is pretty easy to use too, and is very much like the one used in Gears of War and Mass Effect You can simply tap space and your character ducks and runs, or press space against an object to get cover. The controls aren't bad, but it's pretty simple. I like games that have chatty characters, as it enables me to get a little more engrossed in the story and the characters themselves. This seems like a repeating thing too, goodie. There’s plenty of banter between characters, and it has already given me a few chuckles as you comment about the stupid remarks one of your soldiers makes. I like helicopters, I like big machine guns, and I flipping love blowing stuff up. I don't care how others feel about such scenes, I think they're good old fashioned fun.

Nothing like a good Hollywood style showdown.

The intro scene seems pretty on-par with what you find in most Call of Duty games, and that makes me a happy gamer. I say reasonably as it's quite bright, seems like it has a lot of bloom going on. It seems like a pretty standard story-based third person shooter, with some reasonably pretty visuals. It seems to be much more stable than Bioshock for reference, Bioshock I could crash quite easily, but Spec Ops: The Line has been open the whole time, with a lot of alt+tabbing, and it worked fine while recording a video and rendering the video in the background. It also stutters when something big happens, like an explosion. It is a little bit distracting when it does it. One of them lasted for 2 seconds, and that’s the most I’ve seen. That's pretty on-par with most other big releases that we have had, so they did a pretty good job as far as framerate goes.ĭuring the first battle on foot the performance seemed great, and I was still getting well over 100FPS, but I have noticed some micro stuttering here and there, and it seems like it’s when it’s loading an area much like Bioshock Infinite does. This is with the highest possible settings that I'm able to set. So far performance seems to be mostly good, I've seen it bounce between 60FPS to well over 140FPS.

The settings change was instant too, so no reloading needed. It did start with lowest everything, and a resolution of 640x480, but it was painless to crank up up.
