Cry of Fear is a stand-alone mod built of the GoldSrc (or GoldSource), the same engine that powers the first Half-Life. Development for the game started in 2008 and after four years of development, it had its first release in 2012 on the popular modding site moddb. After successfully being voted for releases through Steam Greenlight, it hit Steam in 2013.
The game follows Simon as he wakes up in an alley in an unnamed city (that bears very strong resemblance to Sweden's capital, Stockholm)
The following weapons appear in the video game Cry of Fear:
Cry of Fear is more of a survival horror game than a straight up shooter. The player has limited inventory space, must use morphine to regenerate health, can only save via a tape recorder (on Nightmare difficulty one must have a tape that can only be used five times in order to save, somewhat similar to the use of typewriters and ink ribbons in the earlier Resident Evil games). Ammo and firearms are also fairly rare, and the player will probably end up using more melee weapons than firearms throughout the story, similar to the Silent Hill games.
A small but interesting detail is how the game handles ammo. When reloading a firearm with a removable magazine that still has ammo in it, those rounds will be lost instead of magically added to the players reserve ammo pool as in most video games. This means that one must consider potentially wasting ammo in favor of a faster reload during gameplay.
Handguns
Glock 17
The Glock 17 is the most common firearm in the game, being the very first gun Simon gets his hands on. It's incorrectly labeled as a Glock 19 in-game (it even has Glock 19 markings). It can however be identified as a Glock 17 due to its size. It holds 15 rounds, which would be correct for a Glock 19 magazine, but is 2 rounds less than a Glock 17 mag.
The Glock 17 is used by the "Suicider" enemy, making it the only enemy to use firearms sans bosses.
The Heckler & Koch VP70M with its distinctive stock is a fairly rare weapon in-game. Due to the fact that it can't be dual-wielded with a light source, is locked to fire in three-round bursts (leading to strong recoil) and its ammo being somewhat rare, makes it a rather impractical weapon.
The Ruger P345 is first seen in the hands of the mysterious Doctor. Fairly late into the game, depending on what one chooses to do, it is possible to acquire a P345 for use by the player. While it has more stopping power than the Glock 17, it's overall a worse weapon, having a slower reload, smaller magazine capacity, rarer ammo, and more recoil.
The Remington Model 870 is the only shotgun in the game. While its ammo is fairly rare, its power more than makes up for it. Its ability to reload at any time without having to lose ammo (thanks to its tubular magazine) is also very helpful.
The M16A2 is a powerful weapon, being able to switch between semi-auto and 3-round burst fire. Albeit one should stick to semi-auto unless they got a damn good reason. It is loaded with 20-round magazines that correctly hold 20 rounds.
The Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk.III* (HT), the sniper variant of the No. 1 Mk.III*, is the only firearm in the game with some sort of optic/scope. While it's powerful, it has limited use as most of the combat in the game takes place at close ranges. Its 10-round magazine is always loaded with only 5 rounds.
