Gameplay

Spec Ops II's actual gameplay has been improved over the original. You can take three different stances - standing, prone, and kneeling - and can move in all three. However, you cannot keep your gun barrel up while running. The games missions are loosely connected that you can tackle them in any order you please. And whenever you complete one, you end up back at the game's main menu. During mission briefing the player gets a bullet list that comprises a very rough outline of the situation along with an overall objective. No information on enemy opposition is offered, nor is there any sort of map to guide the player.
