Williams - along with co-writer Richard Pearsey and lead designer Cory Davis - wanted to make a game in which a stunningly destructive force of nature would force the player to face decisions they could never have imagined. It is a shooter in which the innocent bystanders are as much a part of the story as you are, and telling the good guys from the bad is practically impossible. It is a game about a city at risk of being swallowed by nature and a man at risk of being swallowed by the weight of his own horrible acts. Walt Williams is the lead writer of Spec Ops: The Line. And he knows that sometimes those people and their trailers will get wiped clear away. Williams knows that every once in a while the sky will turn green, the wind will go still, the birds will stop singing and people who live in tornado zones (typically trailer parks) will grab their kids, their dogs and whatever they don't want destroyed and hide in the bathtub to wait for it all to be over. He's a video game writer, not a meteorologist. Walt Williams doesn't know why tornadoes target trailer parks. If you are the type of reader who prefers to experience these kinds of game moments first-hand, we encourage you to play the game, then come back.
