All right, here is my question?
But first why I'm asking? I am currently project lead for a new PC First Person Shooter Game (FPS). This game will have the obvious focus of Special Forces, specifically world wide. We have currently selected....

In no particular order...

UK : SAS
USA : NAVY SEALS
GERMANY : KSK (apparently GSG9 is non international).
????

That's right, I need a fourth one, but who, what country has the current notoriety to be recognized amongst those mentioned above, I HAVE NO CLUE, Please help me, and let me know of resources of information for that 4th country's Spec Forces.

BTW, I did 4 years in the USAF as Security Police, Honorable discharge in 98, rank E-4, Senior Airman.

And we dont have a website for the game yet, as we are in research phase. Thanks for any help.

Go sneak a look at Clancy's Rainbow Six PC game - team members are international with background info available - you might find an answer there.

As a markerting consultant, I would recommend you choose a country that represents a significant part of your target market.

As a Canadian, I'd nominate JTF-2, the Canadian Forces' anti-terrorist unit. You will find little written about them, but if you are interested, I'd be happy to consult off-line.

Good luck.

If the game was big enough and there was enough time, I would probably add the canadins and others.

I was considering the Sayeret Mat'Kal actually. I just wanted to make sure that they are well known. The target for this game is mainly the US, however the Germans, Brits, and French are big into these types of games as well.

The one bad thing is forcing the French to choose someone other than themselves, and I need a Middle Eastern representation. Thanks for the help.
