Battlefield Heroes
Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
Battlefield Heroes is a cartoon-style action video game developed by EA and DICE. It is played from context-specific third- and first-person shooter perspectives. The game is less demanding on computer specifications than the previous games of the series to increase the audience base. In addition, the game match players of similar levels together for fairer play. EA recently announced that the game had reached three million registered users. Heroes is the first Battlefield game to be released under Electronic Arts' new "Play 4 Free" model, which will see the game released for free with revenue generated from advertising and micropayments. Advertisements appear on the website and the 'front-end' of the game although none appear while playing, while micropayments may be made for additional items to customize the appearance of players' avatars or to buy stronger weapons. Furthermore, purchasable BattleFunds can be used to redeem rate boosts to experience points along with other items.
The following weapons are used in the video game Battlefield Heroes:
Carl's Cold Comfort
The Carl's Cold Comfort pistol is the best standard handgun for a Royal soldier in Battlefield Heroes. It is only available to Royal Army commandos. Of course It is a completely fictional handgun but it resembles the M1911A1 pistol. In the game it is long range, and the cartridge carries 6 bullets. It takes 2 seconds to reload, and the rate of fire is 450 RPM. The velocity is 600. Short distance (<12 m) can average damage from 3-9. Medium distance (12-20 m) can average damage from 13-15. Long distance (>20 m) can average damage from 3-9. You have a critical hit chance of 0.03, and the critical hit damage is 10.
Ludwig's Loaded
The Ludwig's Loaded pistol is the best standard handgun for a National soldier in Battlefield Heroes. It is only available to National Army commandos. Of course It is a completely fictional handgun but it resembles the Luger P08 Pistol. In the game it is long range, and the cartridge carries 6 bullets. It takes 2 seconds to reload, and the rate of fire is 450 RPM. The velocity is 600. Short distance (<12 m) can average damage from 3-9. Medium distance (12-20 m) can average damage from 13-15. Long distance (>20 m) can average damage from 3-9. You have a critical hit chance of 0.03, and the critical hit damage is 10.
Nagant M1895
A Nagant M1895 revolver with custom ivory grips is to be added in the next update as a new spy weapon. It was created by Shaylyn "Chemical Alia" Hamm for the Polycount Pack contest. Ingame details are unknown. This particular model is notable for being one of the most accurate depictions of the gun it's based on in the whole game.
COP 357
A derringer resembling the COP 357 will be added in the next update. Very little information is available at this time.
Baikal MCM
The Spy was shown with a Baikal MCM in the first Team Fortress 2 trailer, to be used as a Tranquilizer gun like in the previous Team Fortress games. It was replaced with the Revolver by the game's release. The model, though not usable, remains within the game's files.
Ithaca 37
The Ithaca 37, with sawed-off stock and barrel, is the primary weapon for the Engineer class, and the secondary weapon for the Soldier, Pyro, and Heavy classes. It is simply referred to as "Shotgun" in the game. Like the Spy, the Engineer is capable enough at close fighting but is not usually found seeking out skirmishes, as his shotgun's main purpose is to defend him while he is setting up his buildings. At close range, the Shotgun will deal great damage, but its damage will fall off noticeably at mid range. The others classes that use the Shotgun as a secondary weapon have highly-damaging primary weapons, and use the Shotgun to finish off injured opponents, or to conserve primary weapon ammo.
Ithaca 37 (Full length)
Dubbed "Frontier Justice". It is the primary unlockable for the Engineer. It has full stock, full barrel length, engravings and a battery chamber on the right side. In game it cannot get random critical hits, instead having "revenge crits" for every kill gotten with a destroyed sentry. Oddly, despite being longer it holds less rounds than the regular shotgun (one possible explanation is that it's plugged to meet US duck hunting regulations).
Remington 700 Sniper Rifle
A Remington 700, with a visible laser sight and cartoonishly large scope, is the primary weapon for the Sniper class. It is called "Sniper Rifle", and in this rendition, its internal magazine only holds one projectile, and the Sniper carries 25 cartridges with him, inserting one every time he pulls the bolt open. Targeting through the scope will charge the projectile and make it hit harder when fired. A max charge of around 4 seconds is enough to take out lower-health classes with a body shot, but large classes like the Heavy will need multiple shots or a clean head shot. The rifle can be fired without looking through the scope, but the damage is the minimum damage the rifle can cause and headshots are not possible in this way. This is the only hitscan weapon in the game (not counting sentries or critical hits) that has no damage falloff (reduced damage over long range).
SMG
The "SMG" is the secondary weapon for the Sniper class. It seems to be a cartoony amalgamation of several SMG designs: the outline resembles an enlarged Mauser M712 or Walther MP series, the back sights and bolt resemble those of the Thompson M1. It deals very low damage and is of average accuracy, but its very rapid fire can pile on damage quickly if aimed well. It has a 25-round magazine and the Sniper carries 3 more magazines. Like the other Support and Defense classes, the Sniper isn't meant to go into the front lines with this weapon, but rather, be able to defend himself during medium-range combat, when taking the time to snipe an incoming enemy is an impractical proposition.
Dan Wesson PPC .357
The Ambassador, an unlockable Spy weapon, is a stylized version of the Dan Wesson PPC .357 revolver heavily customized with a decorated barrel and rosewood handle, and is more accurate than the Revolver. However, it deals less damage (unless the player gets a headshot with it, resulting in a devastating critical hit) and is slower.
In addition to that, the model is missing three things essential to its operation in real life:
- An opening in the rear of the barrel for the bullet to go through (especially noticeable during the reload animation). The barrel's blocked off like it was a deactivated gun.
- The crane and the ejector rod stay stuck in the frame of the gun when the cylinder out of it, meaning the cylinder's just hovering in mid air with nothing connecting it to the gun itself.
- Also, to cover up the fact that this model doesn't use a speedloader unlike the regular revolver, they moved the model closer to the screen in what appears to be an attempt to make the cylinder go partially or completely offscreen (it doesn't work at all with the default FOV).
Smith & Wesson Model 29
Named "Big Kill", it is a revolver replacement for the Spy. It's a reskin and it has the same stats as the regular revolver (though the animations are those of the Ambassador). The weapon was given to players who bought Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse within the first week of its release. It is based of the titular Sam's sidearm.
Luger P08
Called "Lugermorph", it's a secondary weapon for the Scout and the Engineer. It's a reskin of the pistol, and has no unique stats. The weapon was given to players who bought Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse within the first week of its release. It is based off of the titular Max's pistol. Originally, this gun could only be used by the Scout, however with the July 1st, 2010 update, it was made available for use with the Engineer.
RPG-16
The RPG-16, represented in the game as the "Rocket Launcher", is the primary weapon for the Soldier class. Unlike its single-shot real-life counterpart, the Rocket Launcher can pack four rockets at a time inside the tube. The game allows for 'Rocket Jumping', wherein a Soldier shoots towards the ground as he jumps, using the blast from the explosion to propel himself through the air over large distances and over obstacles. The rockets, along with the Demoman's grenades, are the most damaging weapons in the game, a critical shot from either usually being enough to dismember most any player within the blast radius.
Multi-Barrel Miniguns
The Heavy uses 2 miniguns, the looks of which are based off of M134 miniguns. Both are given female Russian names. The first, Sasha, is black with a white magazine and internal feed; the second, Natasha, is black, with a black magazine and a belt running from the mag to the chamber. The Heavy claims that Sasha weighs 150kg and fires at 10,000 RPM, but in the game she only spits out 2,400 RPM. Note that for every 1 unit of ammo, the weapon actually fires 4 shots (giving it 2,400 RPM).
The level 2 and 3 Sentry guns have double Miniguns as well.
