American Weapons

Browning .30 Caliber M1919A6 Deployable Light Machine Gun

Range: Long
Rate of Fire: Very Fast
Damage: High
Mobility: Slow



The air-cooled M1919A6 was introduced as a lighter alternative to the monstrous, 93-pound water-cooled M1917. Weighing about 43 pounds with tripod, the M1919A6 was easier to transport with infantry units, as well as easier to mount on tanks. It was one of the most reliable weapons of the second World War.

2.36-in Rocket Launcher, M1A1 "Bazooka"

Range: Short
Rate of Fire: Slow
Damage: Very High
Mobility: Slow



One of the simplest, yet most effective, weapons in the United States arsenal, the Bazooka was little more than a steel tube fitted with wooden stocks for aiming and securing. Although GIs used bazookas to flush out pillboxes, blow lanes through minefields and even disable artillery, its claim to fame was as an anti-tank weapon. Its superiority in this regard prompted the Germans to copy its design after capturing examples of the M1 in Tunisia in 1943.

Russian Weapons

Tokarev SVT-40

Range: Long
Rate of Fire: Medium
Damage: High
Mobility: Fast



The Samozaryadnaya Vintovka Tokareva-40 ("Tokarev Self-Loading Rifle"), manufactured between 1941 and 1945, was a major upgrade from the standard Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifles of the Red Army. Though most Russian troops were ill-trained to use the reloading rifle effectively, German troops considered it a trophy weapon, prized for its accuracy and superior firepower.

Degtyarev-Pekhotny 28

Range: Long
Rate of Fire: Very Fast
Damage: High
Mobility: Fast



The 7.62 mm Ruchnoy Pulemyot Degtyaryova pakhotnyi ("Degtyarev Hand-held Infantry Machine Gun") was a paragon of simplicity and easy maintenance. Apart from a bipod which was prone to break if handled roughly, the DP-28 provided the Red Army with reliable and effective fire from its introduction in 1928 to the end of the War.

Tokarev TT-33

Range: Short
Rate of Fire: Medium
Damage: Moderate
Mobility: Very Fast



The Tokarev TT-33 became the standard pistol of the Red Army in 1933. It was an evolution of the American Colt-Browning automatic pistol, similar in design to the M1911. Russian engineers improved several aspects of the design, making it more reliable, easier to produce, and capable of withstanding a tremendous amount of abuse.

British Weapons

Silenced Sten Mk IIs

Range: Short
Rate of Fire: Very Fast
Damage: Moderate
Mobility: Very Fast



The Sten derives it name from its two designers, Major R.V. Shepherd and H.J. Turpin, and the place it was made, the Enfield Lock Small Arms Factory. In 1940, Britain found itself with a shortage of weapons, and Shepherd and Turpin's design proved simple, easy to manufacture and reliable in the field. More than a hundred thousand Sten Mk Is were produced, providing British troops with a lightweight, compact, easy-to-maintain machine gun. A limited number of Mk IIs models fitted with silencers were produced for SAS Commandos and raiding forces.

Webley Mk 4

Range: Short
Rate of Fire: Slow
Damage: High
Mobility: Very Fast



Used extensively through the armies of the British Commonwealth from 1939-1945, the Webley Mk 4 revolver was a simple, no frills combat revolver. Firing a smaller 0.38-inch round than the World War I-era Webley 0.455-inch pistol, the Mk 4 was lighter, easier to fire and required less training and practice to use. The Mk 4 is so popular it remains in service in various parts of the world to this day

German Weapons

Gewehr 43

Range: Long
Rate of Fire: Medium
Damage: High
Mobility: Fast



Early in the war, the Germans produced a reloading rifle called the Gewehr 41(W). It was unwieldy, difficult to reload and unreliable in the field, and when German troops found themselves face-to-face with the superior Tokarev SVT-40, its limitations cost many lives. Seizing several SVT-40s, German engineers noticed the Tokarev's gas-operated reloading system was superior to theirs, so they integrated it into their existing rifle design. The Gewehr 43 was the result. German troops appreciated its easy reloading, high accuracy and excellent reliability.


Machinegewehr 34 General-Purpose Machine Gun

Range: Long
Rate of Fire: Very Fast
Damage: High
Mobility: Slow


Though the Treaty of Versailles specifically prohibited Germany from producing any kind of sustained-fire weapon, they circumvented this by funding its development in Switzerland. This development produced an aircraft machine gun, the Rheinmetall MG 15, from which the MG 34 was born. Considered one of the finest machine gun designs in history, the MG 34 saw service on all fronts of the War.

Raketenpanzerbüchse "Panzerschrek"

Range: Short
Rate of Fire: Slow
Damage: Very High
Mobility: Slow



When the Germans captured some American bazookas in Tunisia in 1943, their engineers immediately recognized its ingenious design and copied it. Soon after, Germany had a reloadable anti-tank weapon in the field, the Raketenpanzerbüsche 43, nicknamed "Panzerschrek" (Tank terror). It launched a larger 3.46-inch shell over an effective range of more than 160 yards, and, in the competent hands of a two-man crew, became the stuff of nightmares for Allied tank crews, who took to reinforcing their tanks with sandbags and extra lengths of track to combat the Panzerschrek's unparalleled armor-piercing capabilities.

Flammenwerfer 35 "Flamethrower"

Range: Very Short
Rate of Fire: High
Damage: Very High
Mobility: Medium



One of the most terrifying weapons of the War, the German Flammenwerfer 35 used compressed nitrogen to propel flaming liquid fuel as far as 33 yards. Though Flammenwerfer teams were extremely vulnerable in the field and had to be well-protected from enemy fire, the weapon was a devastatingly effective weapon, used for flushing out infantry from any manner of bunker or entrenchment.

Notes:

Deployable Light Machine Guns
Players can now pick up and use deployable light machine guns in multiplayer and select single player levels. These weapons can only be used when their bipod has been deployed. These machine guns can be set up on almost every surface - window sills, flat ground, barrels and boxes to name a few. When you see the special triangle-shaped deploy icon, use the Aim Down The Sight (default: Right Mouse Button) function to set up the gun for use.

Flamethrowers
A fearsome antipersonnel weapon, the flamethrower can launch deadly flames over a wide area, instantly engulfing enemies in flames. Though total ammunition is limited and mobility is slow, the flamethrower is excellent for clearing trenches, bunkers and anywhere you think the enemy may be holed up.

Very cool, the sten better be useful and more effective then the one we currently have now.

Everyone thought Spermhead for MoHAA would kick ass two, look at how that turned out. Please don't let us down, GMI

Not too sure about that... the StG looks very convincing!

Yeah I remember I was totally hyped up for Spearhead and got it opening day and everything and it totally blew...

I sure hope this expansion kicks butt, it looks like its going to.

Mobility: fast for the 30 cal, DP and MG34...? No flamethrower for the allied?

I won't mention the funny feeling I get when I realize they want us to buy an expansion to get the weapons which were supposed to be in the original game (the pistols, MG34, DP)... oops, now I mentioned it anyway.

yeah because they were supposed to be

[W. Irving]

Let's just prove ourselves to be good customers and shut up and buy the thing when it's gone gold.

So I suppose there's no point in continuing the development of the DP, M1919, SVT 40, deployable MG42's... and so on.
I'm a little interested in the Bazooka/Panzerschreck though. It takes at least two people to use this weapon.. how did GMI intend it to be used? Just slid down from the shoulder with the left hand, while cramming down the new round into the pipe, and never minding the wires, the 10 metre clearance for the backblast, and the fact that everyone needs to be wearing asbestos gear to fire from prone?

Smells like yet another side-scrolling arcade game

(BTW - I have a feeling GMI will do the mistake of adding a trail behind the Bzka/RPzB rocket. Hope I'm wrong.)

Looks great! This is going to be awesome, no doubt about that.

[Zeus[BTY]]

Irv, what percentage of CoD players do you estimate will buy the expansion - 30? 40? Probably a lot less... So I don't think the "market" for vanilla CoD mods will become that much smaller.

We'll just have to see of course .

Good point.
I still think UO will be more of a success than SH.

Why?

Well..

i copyed and pasted most of it so thats ign's problem not mine


Ohh and btw the allies do have flamethrowers just read the article Here!

[Reddog]

THERE'S NO PPS-43 AND NO NO.4MK1(T) SNIPER

Really would it have been that hard for them to just take the Enfield model and slap a scope on?

This is really gonna change the game too, now all you'll have is people using the semi-auto rifles everywhere, even though the K43 wasn't very widely issued.

Just gotta limit number of rifles available.

I'd also like to see MP28's and 38's. The Germans used a lot of these, especially in the early days. The SVT rifles were more rare than the MP38. Also, where is the British Lanchester?

[Zeus[BTY]]

Don't worry guys, they've been working since march this year on the expansion set for a just-before-christmas release4, it will contain all the weapons which should have been in UO but weren't .

[poindexter]

They've been working on it since last september. And, it will probably be out in september or october.

[Jay!]

i saw sep 1st release date guys
