![]() Given the game's extreme story detail, it is likely another of Walker's hallucinations rather than an easter egg. Adams' and Lugo's names can be found on the casualty list in the 33rd's command post.Early screenshots show various parts of the game from Adams' point of view, implying that he may have been playable at some point, maybe in a co-op mode.In the first trailer for Spec Ops: The Line, Adams appeared much younger and was bald.Adams was originally armed with a TAR-21, but in the final game, he wields an M249 SAW.During parts of the game where the enemy doesn't know the squad is there, he will use a suppressed M9 to kill the enemies the player targets.Adams sides with Captain Walker more often than Lugo.Adams is an experienced pilot, as shown by his piloting of the Black Hawk helicopter in the intro sequence and chapter 12.Hold the order button to make the reticule appear, pick your target, and Adams will suppress and kill the target with his M249 or throw a grenade at the target depending if they are entrenched, taking cover, or in the wide open. This is extremely useful on harder difficulties where turrets and entrenched enemies target Walker over his companions. Adams' ability is to throw grenades and suppress targets, if his target isn't killed with gunfire from his M249 SAW. And later, he was begging Walker to shoot the civilians, showing his own mental deterioration as well.īoth of Walker's companions have the ability when ordered to attack a particular target. To an extent, Adams can be considered a secondary antagonist of the game, since it was he who suggested using the white phosphorus mortar, which led to Walker going crazy. Adams then engages the remaining 33rd Infantry soldiers and isn't seen again after that. A message on the loading screen afterwards confirms that Adams was killed by sacrificing himself so Walker could get to the tower. On the final assault on the 33rd, Walker attempts to surrender to gain access inside the tower, but an enraged Adams insists on fighting to the death and shames Walker into running for safety inside the tower. During the final assault on the 33rd, however, he begins to show his disgust and hatred for Walker and only cares about killing, due to Lugo's death and blames it on Walker, saying "Lugo's blood is on your hands, not mine. In the early parts of the game, he and Lugo become antagonistic with each other over whether the team should focus on saving civilians, or assisting the CIA. Throughout most of the game, Adams remains loyal to Walker and follows all of his direct orders. ![]() Out of combat, he is used as the team's breacher and tracker. He is the squad's heavy gunner and is equipped with a M249 SAW and an M1014 combat shotgun. Spec Ops’s story isn’t perfect, but it's the rare shooter that actually attempted to make us feel something other than adrenaline, and we’ll be damned if we don’t respect it for that.Christopher Reid " Only thing that matters are the words 'Mission Accomplished.' The sooner I hear those words, the sooner I can go home and get back to being me." - Adams.ġst Lieutenant Alphanso Adams is the deuteragonist of Spec Ops: The Line and a member of Walker's Delta squad. After all, he doesn’t want to believe he’s becoming the villain – he wanted to be the hero, and we were right there with him. His desperate rationalizations might seem like a weak salve, but at least it gave him (and us) something to soothe the pain. “I had no choice,” he’d reply, “Once we find Konrad it’ll all make sense.” We didn't have a choice We’d force him to make a rough choice, one that made us both feel genuinely upset, and then we’d wait for Walker’s validation. He wasn’t alone in the horrors – we were accomplices to his atrocities. As we played, committing horrendous war crimes, we identified with Walker more than we have empathized with the heroes of almost any other game. Where Joseph Conrad's novel (and the film Apocalypse Now) uses the narrator as a vessel to tell another man's story, Spec Ops is completely about its protagonist. ![]() It's here that Spec Ops diverges from its Heart of Darkness inspiration.
