STOP sign at the beginning of Spec Ops The Line

This is my most viewed video. It's nice to see people are still playing this 10 year old game.

Could be a coincidence, but I feel like this game is too smart for that. That is amazing attention to detail if that sign was indeed placed there intentionally to fit with the meta narrative.

[austinmeghu]

That stop sign is so out of place it has to be intentional

[darkfrost]

That's just one of the early signs of Walker's insanity. Now the question is, is Walker dead or alive in the entire game?

[dolanuscaesar]

Been there. Had fun.
10/10 would warcrime again

[brandonhamler]

This game was a 10/10 for me because the story was damn good. Idk if it’s 100% true or not but I was reading that the voice actors that did this did it all in one day with no breaks so that they could make the voices sound more exhausting and tired.

Lmao it's literal an early warning sign. This games ability to make me feel deeply violated is beyond any other. I still feel so lucky i was able to experience it blind.

"What happened here was out of my control."
"Was it? None of this would've happened if you had just stopped."

"Hi, this is my 5 hour video essay on how Spec Ops: The Line is an underrated magnum opus and why it's story should make you feel things."

"Chapter 1: the stop sign and it's effects on the story."

I actually had to stop playing after the mob mission with Luigi. I was extremely disturbed specially when you catch on fire and you hear “welcome to hell walker”. I ended up watching the ending online

[jordmcvlog]

This has very "those who know,
those who don't know" energy

[Andydemon]

Always appreciate the little things.

I feel like this game takes that idea to heart. Every little thing I find out about it makes me appreciate it all the more.

It’s smart, it’s self aware, and it makes you remember what otherwise looks like a generic military third person shooter

How to get the good ending in Spec Ops the line:

You stop, exit and uninstall the game at this exact point.

I remember playing this game when I was around my mid-teens. I grew up on Cod: Black Ops, Halo and Skyrim. I saw the cover for this game and just expected it to be a cool military game set in the desert.

Boy was I wrong.

[BoomShard]

Ohhh, so that explains why this one sign later in the game said "No War Crimes Between 10pm-6am"

Having Nolan North say the "Welcome to Dubai" line to me back in 2017 at NYCC was awesome.

[DiegoTan]

Yea lots of people seem to mention that, it flew over my head. Same goes with Konrad's face all over billboards in Dubai. Really cool.

[jykesss]

we just can never escape the greatness of this game, can't we?

[MR.ICE.]

The lead writer for this game said that he likes to believe Walker died in the helicopter crash and the rest of the game is his own purgatory.

I personally don’t like that idea as for me that takes away any impact from the story. I like the idea that these horrific things happen and Walker is indeed responsible.

Thankfully, the lead writer never said it was canon. It’s just his own personal theory. Still, I can’t thank him enough for writing such an amazing story.
