ITS IN THE DESERT ALL THE TEAM CO ORDNATION IS GOOD
But then The Line doesn't play like a straight Call of Duty clone. For a start, it's played from a third-person viewpoint, and cover is a major issue. On the normal difficulty level you can be killed by only a few shots, and while the standard wait until your health recharges approach still works, smart or heavily armed enemies make aggressive play a risky business. As with Ghost Recon: Future Soldier or Gears of War, its two closest points of comparison, you need to be fully aware of your surroundings, of where you can find cover and where you'll be vulnerable to incoming fire. What's more, ammo is in painfully short supply, so there's not a lot of room for just hunkering down until all your enemies are killed off, either.
To help balance your odds against overwhelming numbers of foes you have your two comrades-in-arms, and the game has a simple system of left and right-bumper clicks and holds to get them to target specific foes, throw grenades to stun the hostiles, or heal each other should one go down. Allied AI is, for the most part, really good. Your guys can hold their own in the firefight, but there's none of the Modern Warfare 3 experience where you sometimes feel you're just mopping up after the real heroes have done their job.
