Elite and specially trained/equipped military troops and law enforcement tasked with carrying out specific and dangerous/sensitive objectives beyond the remit of regular military personnel. Many games feature special forces operators or units as protagonists or enemies.
Spies are the masters of espionage. They're also (usually) quite adept at the art of stealth, disguise, and assassination.
Task Force 141 is the team you will be a part of in Modern Warfare 2 and is led by Capt. "Soap" MacTavish.
Anguish of body or mind. Can be used by authority figures to extract sensitive information that would not be given under normal circumstances.
