Yager's Spec Ops: The Line was as brutal as it was brazen, but was ultimately a commercial failure. This fact alone is enough to rule out a sequel, however its lead writer has spelled out some other reasons the 2012 shooter won't be revisited.    In response to one Twitter user's query about why Spec Ops: The Line won't get a sequel, Walt Williams responded rather exp...
