2K Games pushes Spec Ops sequel back by months, announced FUBAR pre-order freebies

Spec Ops fans will have to wait a few more months for their next fix, as 2K Games announced Spec Ops: The Line will miss its spring launch window, and instead arrive in North America on June 26, and everywhere else on June 29.

Mixing a little good with the bad, 2K Games took the delay as an opportunity detail the in-game perks on offer to those who pre-order their copy from “select retailers”. Specifically, those that do enlist early will receive the FUBAR pack containing multiplayer goodies including double experience points during the first week of play, an AK-47 unlock at rank one, access to the Officer Class at rank one, and other character customization items.

The game was originally slated to arrive in late 2011, but was later delayed to spring 2012. Now that 2K Games has an actual date, odds are this will be the one that sticks. See why it may be worth the wait to play a different breed of military shooter in our latest hands-on preview.
