I think its a good idea to wait and make sure the game is truly ready for the market. The military FPS market is probably the most swamped and competative market there is - you need to stand out to have a chance.

It's actually a cover-based third-person shooter like SOCOM.

Agree that this was a good move. Although I've only played Gears of War on PC, I did find that to be a rather tight product gameplay wise (setting up a LAN game could have been more intuitive and user friendly). As such, my expectations of other third person shooters has now increased (the Army of Two team better do something spectacular if they do a third game). With Ghost Recon Future Soldier out this year, I reckon we could wait a while for Spec Ops The Line... I hope they refine their engine enough to make split screen possible. Co-op games should be able to be enjoyed offline as much as online.

I played the multiplayer beta a decent amount after they first launched it, and it did need quite a bit of work at that time, but it was pretty fun.
