Ruud van Nistelrooy 0 Posted July 25, 2002 Its been on Bravo for a while now and its pretty cool, for all those who don't know, they get special forces guys from all over america (Seals, CIA, Marines, SWAT etc...) and they all slug it out in real life kind of missions. Its pretty funny because the SEAL's are there thinking they're the best and the SWAT guys own them There are also a few fights breaking out and stuff between the squads. Its pretty suprising because everyone is failing miserably in the missions and a lot are getting killed and you'd expect them to do a lot better, especially with the mission planning. Its a pretty cool show Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilwillie 47 Posted July 25, 2002 Is this the second season? Or has the first season only now made it overseas? If it's the second then YEEha, loved that show, the first season was great, I won't spoil who won, but it was worth it to follow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilwillie 47 Posted July 25, 2002 Yes first season, Scott was a pissy pants threw the whole ordeal, and it cost him in my opinion. Nice to see Rudy, the guy who played in the very first survivor get to show his stuff. In my opinion SWAT guys have the advantage because they are using thier training every day of the week, serving warrants, survielance of possible suspects. Where the military boys get trained and trained and trained. Then wait and wait and wait for the time to strike, not very often we have conflicts where SEALS are used everyday, but SWAT officers its a daily ordeal. Physically the Military guys are better off, but experience wise I think SWATs got em beat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats not a bad thing, but they're unwilling to listen to the SWAT guys, who seem to be better, i mean, look at that Jody Taylor guy, he gets like 7 kills every single mission, then look at Helveston, he gets none Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDRZulu 0 Posted July 25, 2002 Yeah the SWAT guys also lasted longer, the aisian Delta Force guy was out within a week or 2 I think. I dont remember if there were any other Delta Force on there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it just two teams going at eachother or what?<span id='postcolor'> Yeah. They get very experianced special forces guys from across america, SEALs, Delta force, Marine Recon, CIA and SWAT, and split all these into 4 squads. Every episode 2 of these go against each other in combat missions, thats like, rescuing a hostage, blowing up a tank, drug busts... These guys supposedly have years and years and years of experiance, and are all big, muscular and stuff before then they have two contests, like physical contests such as big pugle sticks fights, and technical such as weapon construction. The winner get extra points. In the big mission they start out with like 1000 points (and some extra depending on the 2 exercises) and they get like, 50 points deducted for each man they lose, 5 deducted for every minute the mission lasts, and whether or not they complete the objective. They use real weapons but fake ammo and the miles laser tag system. They don't compete against each other, each squad takes turns against shadow squad, which are the terrorists/enemy. Its like counterstrike kind of. The team that loses has to lose one man, either they vote him off or they draw swords (random), they then have to choose another guy to replace him. A while into the series the teams can't replace lost members, and also have to compete against each other. The winning team get money, and i think that in the end, only 2 men will remain, and the one who wins out of them gets the grand prize and is the best.

Go into field combat (wide open areas) and SWAT will have to adapt quickly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
