Talk:Delta Force/@comment-173.18.243.193-20130610152706/@comment-4844014-20131128072723

The Call of Duty series is one of the most unreliable sources of information for any special forces unit or weaponry source in the gaming industry that actually attempts to mimic real life. Guns have numerous errors and it's very likely the special forces they feature (Which are also American, not just British) do too.

As for the 'not exactly up to par with delta' - I sincerely suggest you go and double check with the history of Delta Force because British special forces certainly are. Delta Force's first operation was a complete failure and the choppers taking them to the operation collided mid-air, killing multiple Delta operators and a civilian. That was in 1980, meanwhile, 5 days later in the United Kingdom, the Iranian Embassy siege situation unfolded which the SAS ultimately brought to a swift end in mere minutes, eliminating or disabling all terrorists, even with severe set backs. Still not convinced?

Fast forward to the current issue with Al Qaeda and the Taliabn and read this. Just empahsise on that - Delta operators were unable to attempt an operation to rescue a CIA informative from Al Qaeda, forcing them to turn to the SAS whom successfully executed the operation with no casualties while killing multiple Al Qaeda fighters in the process. The Delta operators could not attempt the operation because they didn't have even battle experience in hostage rescue.

To develop on that point, hostage rescue is one of the most complex of all special forces aspects, one of the many sections British special forces are skilled in, aswell as numerous other requirements that I have listed before such as: espionage, counter-terrorism, close quarters combat, vehicular warfare, anti-explosive missions, sabotage missions, stealth related missions, sniper missions, assassination missions, naval warfare missions, deep sea diving related missions, arctic warfare missions, etc.

A modern Delta could not execute that operation due a lack of battle experience, the SAS could and did and it was a success.

Now, tell me, what were you saying about British special forces not being on par with Delta?
