Picking sides in Spec Ops: The Line's multiplayer is a heavy decision. For example, do you side with the guys who like to shoot stuff, or the dudes who like to shoot stuff? These are tough choices, indeed. Thankfully, 2K Games and Yager Developments have released a new multiplayer trailer to help you weigh your options:

Spec Ops: The Line represents the start of a new story in the Spec Op series. The solo campaign will see players leading a Delta Force bravo team into Dubai to contend with a rogue U.S. Army Colonel by the name of John Konrad. Meanwhile, as detailed in the trailer, the online mode will have players splitting up into teams representing the remnants of Colonel Konrad's 33rd Infantry. These include The Exiles, who stuck with Konrad; and The Damned, who said “hells no” to his crazy plans.

GR's had a chance to dabble in Spec Ops: The Line's multiplayer mode a few times. Read our latest impressions in this week's Spec Ops: The Line multiplayer preview - Hands-on with the less-moody side of Dubai.
