The Making of MW3: US Navy Seals Play a Big Part


This is just too cool. Read Michael Condrey's Blog post on R & D with the U.S. Navy Seals:

"Several years ago, long before Sledgehammer Games started working on Modern Warfare 3, I was given the book The Warrior Elite:  The Forging of SEAL Class 228, by Dick Couch.   It was the first book, of many since, that I've read about the lore of the US Navy Seals.   The Warrior Elite was a wonderfully told, thought-provoking story about the qualification process and training of a Navy Seal.  Dick's telling of the trials of BUD/S training was superb, and I was moved by the sheer grit and force of will it takes to survive Hell Week and become one of the Navy's most elite fighters.   Recently, I finished reading Lone Survivor, by Marcus Luttrell.  Lone Survivor told a similar moving story of the trials of BUD/S and Hell Week before dropping me into a heroic survival tale of a Seal combat mission in Afghanistan gone terribly wrong.  Those two books and many others, as well as the countless news reports of Navy Seal Team Six's capture of Bin Laden, are testimonies to the Navy Seals as one of the greatest assets in the US Armed Forces."
