>you don't do anything bad in FC2.
There's various missions where you destroy civilian infrastructure and assassinate people on the behalf of one of the factions but the writers had enough restraint to not beat you over the head about how much of a bad person you are for per taking in these missions and allow you to come to that conclusion yourself
>You always just kill asshole juntas and mercs
Most of the mercs are portrayed as being no different then the player character and when you're tasked to kill people it's usually painted as it being a cynical power grab between the factions and not as some morally righteous act. There's a mission where you can kill the king in exile for his son so he could take all his dad's money from his bank account.
Far Cry 2 works better as an anti-war game because it portrays a somewhat grounded conflict between two factions that are engaged in violent and amoral actions just to make sure the other side doesn't gain any ground and use the player as nothing more than a disposable pawn.
Meanwhile Spec Ops The Line has you press X to commit war crimes and acts super smug for being a critique of military shooters while at the same time indulging in all of the over the top spectacle of one while constantly fingering wagging at the player
