EXCLUSIVE News from NL!!
A DFHQ.net exclusive
Hi there! As you know, over the next few days, we are planning on releasing a new MP beta test for Delta Force - Black Hawk Down. The purpose of this beta is to test the new net code we have implemented prior to the full SP and MP demo being released in January 2003. In the build up to the release, I wanted to give you a heads up as to the character specialties and weapons that will be in the demo. Thanks Marcus Character Specialties and Weapons ================================================== Before joining a Multiplayer game, you can choose a specialty for your character. Each specialty will allow a character to access certain weapons and abilities. You can change your specialty inside an armory. The specialties and their weapons are: CQB - CAR-15, M16 w/ M203, Claymores, Colt 45 Gunner - M60, CAR-15, M16 w/ M203, Colt 45 Sniper - M21 Sniper Rifle, Claymores, Colt 45 Medic - Car-15, Medic Packs, Colt 45 Available Weapons ================================================== ==== For this Beta, only the following weapons will be available: Combat Knife A "last resort" weapon. Most often used to open MRE's, but if all else fails, it can provide a deadly resolution to a close quarters fight. Colt 45 A high-power sidearm preferred by Delta operators for its reliability and stopping power, the Colt M1911 has armed the United States military since 1911. The design, including grip and trigger was standardized in 1926 and remains unchanged. The pistol is extremely accurate when used for single shots. Ammo Type: .45 automatic Rounds Per Clip: 7 Rounds Carried: 28 Muzzle Velocity: 253 m/s Rate of Fire: 4 rps Car-15 First used extensively in Vietnam, the CAR-15 soon became a standard rifle in the U.S. Army. It is lightweight, full automatic and more maneuverable than the M16, making it the preferred assault rifle for Delta Force. The only downside is that the shorter barrel reduces accuracy. Ammo Type: 5.56mm Rounds Per Clip: 30 Rounds Carried: 300 Muzzle Velocity: 990 m/s Rate of Fire: 11.6 rps M-16 with M203 Grenade launcher The M16A2 has been in wide use by the armies of over 30 countries since its introduction to the U.S. Army in 1957. The A2 version is more accurate than its Vietnam era relatives and is more durable as well. Heavier than the weapons carried by Delta and Rangers, the M16 has two fire modes: Single and 3 round Burst. The M-203 single shot, breach-loading launcher is mounted under the barrel of the M16. It fires a single 40mm, low velocity grenade round. Ammo Type: 5.56mm Rounds Per Clip: 30 Rounds Carried: 300 Muzzle Velocity: 990 m/s Rate of Fire: 11.6 rps M-60 machine gun The M60 gas powered machine gun is a slightly larger and more powerful weapon than the M249. It fires the 7.62 round for increased range and stopping power, but its heavier weight and ammunition make the M60 awkward to fire unless the bipod is used. The M60 also features a replaceable barrel to prevent overheating. Ammo Type: 7.62 Rounds Per Clip: 200 Rounds Carried: 600 Muzzle Velocity: 915 m/s Rate of Fire: 8.33 rps M-21 sniper rifle This semi-automatic sniper rifle is fitted with a medium power scope that is adjustable to allow for accurate sniping from helicopters or moving ground vehicles. Introduced in 1969 as the M21, it was initially used in the Vietnam conflict as an upgrade from the M14. It was fielded with a hardwood stock and later replaced with fiberglass. The semi-auto fire allows for faster acquisition and firing, but sacrifices the accuracy of a bolt-action rifle. Ammo Type: 7.62 x 51mm Rounds Per Clip: 20 Rounds Carried: 200 Muzzle Velocity: 777 m/s Rate of Fire: 2 rps Flashbang, Fragmentation and Smoke grenades Press the Left Mouse button to make a full power throw. To make a shorter throw, press and hold the Right Mouse Button. A power meter will appear in the lower left corner of the screen. When you release, the grenade will be thrown. Claymore Mines Anti-personnel mine containing 700 ball bearings and 1.5 pounds of C4. Theyare placed on the ground and explode when a player runs in front of it.
