Tactical Shooter made in Germany!

This game has me completely by surprise. Positive course!
Tactical or third-person shooter, there are now so few. The highlights were previously well Gears of War, Max Payne as a representative action and Army of Two. Hauptsählich it comes to this type games of course a matter of survival. For this you will slide more or less sent from one cover to the next, trying the enemy with blind fire from cover part to make an end. In the case of Army of Two even performs with AI players or a friend who certain tasks and / or commands.

But what the German development team Yager provides there is a very nice mixture of just those mentioned highlights. My first impression of the game was more of the brand "Even as a multiplayer shooter". That has, however, already laid with the first few minutes! Unlike Battlefield or Call of Duty, Spec Ops has a really good single player. None designed halfheartedly and told story, but a real story, engrossing and so well told how Max Payne stories. One even has the impression that the multiplayer would build the story around.
The story is quite simple: Dubai was hit by severe sandstorms and was therefore almost swallowed up and leave. The evacuation of Dubai was the object of so-called 33rd unit under Colonel Konrad. During the evacuation went horribly wrong allerrdings something and the entire unit is lost. As the government, however, wants to know if there are survivors, and also would like to know how a half army may disappear, you send a three-man Delta team to Dubai. Congratulations, they take over the role of the leader, Captain Walker.

The control is a bit strange at first before, but after a few minutes they know what to do and when. Except that their two companions support them in the fight, there is the possibility to grant a 3 commands: eliminate target, throwing flashbang or allies reanimieren.Diese instructions are executed promptly, which depending on the situation represents an increased risk of the allies, which is why you often have to give the command resuscitation.
The difficulty is quite challenging in some places, which makes the game very appealing to people to whom the latest games simply are way too easy.
Graphically you can of course not the measure of all things expected, but the game still looks very nice and detailed and only occasionally murky little blemish the overall picture. The story is told great and the atmosphere is nice rübergebracht, so that you can recreate the madness and the desperation well during the game.

The multiplayer I have not tested at the time, because alone or with strangers, it can at times be really frustrating when the tactic is going down before the game has even started. The campaign can not be with several coping, though the story might have been very good ausgeegt for 3 players.
