Take-Two a l’air de croire en son Close Combat: First to Fight et envoit à tout le monde 3 nouveaux screenshots du jeu, ainsi que quelques renders d’armes. Et puis un listing des armes, tant qu’à faire. Comme il est tard et que j’y crois un peu moins qu’eux, je vais me contenter de vous recopier tout ça.
Notez que les ennemis aiment faire le grand écart.
Les différentes armes (oui, je me fais pas chier, c’est un copier-coller) :
Marine Corps Small Arms:
M-16A4: The M-16 has been the standard issue rifle of the American military since the Vietnam War. The M-16 today is an extremely reliable and adaptable weapon. Using a modular rail system, the M-16 can accommodate a variety of optics, laser/infrared illuminators and the M-203 40mm grenade launcher system. In 2003, after extensive debate, the Marine Corps made the A4 variation of the M-16 its weapon of choice for Marine fire teams. In First to Fight, players’ M-16A4 weapons are mounted with a 4x scope, as well as an M203, just as Marine fire team leaders will be equipped in 2005. The M-16 (in both the A4 or M-4 carbine models) fires a high-velocity 5.56mm round in either single shot or three-burst modes of fire. The standard issue magazine carries 30 rounds although 28 rounds are generally carried in the magazine to reduce stress on the magazine spring.
M-249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW): Adopted by the American military in the 1980s to replace the M-60 light machine gun, the M-249 is a reliable, rugged and battle-proven weapon. The M-249 fires the same 5.56mm round as the M-16 which allows for ammunition to be shared between riflemen and the M-249 gunner in a pinch. The M-249 currently sees service around the globe in nations that have adopted the 5.56mm round for their service rifles. The M-249 is a critical weapon in the four-man Marine fire team where its high rate of fire can quickly suppress advancing Opfor and give cover to other members of the fire team.
M-203 Grenade Launcher: Developed during the Vietnam War, the M203 is a single-shot 40mm grenade launcher that is mounted below the barrel of the M-16 rifle. The M203 gives a Marine Corps four-man fire team additional value as the 40mm grenade rounds can be accurately placed through windows and doors – almost acting as a rifle-mounted mortar. Currently, the Marine Corps fire team leader carries the M203 into battle.
M1911A1 Semi-Automatic Pistol: While the rest of the American military has converted over to the M9 9mm pistol in the 1980s as the standard issue sidearm, the Marine Corps still finds a place in their inventory for the famous « .45 auto » that their forefathers used in World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam. The M1911A1’s heavy .45 caliber APC round is regarded as a « man-stopper » for its ability to stop an enemy dead in his tracks.
M-40A3 Sniper System: The M-40 is the military version of the Winchester Model 700 bolt-action rifle that fires the military 7.62mm round. Mounting state-of-the-art optics and a composite stock, the M-40 system has been a reliable, proven weapon in the Marine Corps inventory since the Vietnam War. The M-40 is currently produced by the Marine Corps’ own Rifle Team Equipment Shop at Quantico where it is being further refined for the 21st century.
AN-M8 HC Smoke Grenade: The AN-M8 is a canister-style smoke grenade that is standard issue for the American military. The AN-M8’s sheet-metal canister body holds the smoke chemical mixture and the fuse assembly. When activated, the AN-M8 produces a dense cloud of smoke that dissipates slowly- which makes it a reliable way to create smoke screens to cover fire team movement or mark targets for aerial attacks.
M-67 Fragmentation Hand Grenade: The M-67 is the standard issue fragmentation grenade of the American military. The grenade’s round « baseball-like » shape makes it easy to throw and more stable in flight. The M-67’s fuse is the standard bouchon type with a safety lever, pull ring, and a safety clip.
OPFOR Small Arms:
AK-74: Essentially an AKM/AK-47 that is rechambered and rebored to fire a 5.45-mm cartridge, the AK-74 became the standard issue rifle of the old Soviet Army back in 1974. While it externally has the same general appearance as the AKM/AK-47, the AK-74 is quickly distinguished from the AKM/AK-47 due to its overall length and large, two-port muzzle brake. Like all members of the AK-family, the AK-74 is a simple, rugged and very reliable weapon -characteristics that have made it popular with resistance groups, third-world militias and terrorists around the globe.
RPK-74: The RPK-74 had been developed along with the AK-74 assault rifle as a squad-level light support weapon for the new, small-caliber ammunition, 5.45mm. The RPK-74 internally is almost the same AK-74 but has a heavier barrel, bipod and light machine gun stock similar to the weapon it replaced, the RPD. Ammunition for the RPK-74 is fed from either a 75 round drum magazine, 45 rounds box magazine or a standard AK-74 30 round box magazine. Like the AK-74, the RPK-74 is very rugged and reliable – the trademark of the AK-family of small arms.
Dragunov SVD Sniper System: Designed in the late 1950’s to operate under the most extreme climactic, environmental and combat situations, the SVD was the first Soviet military rifle designed from scratch specifically for military sniping. While it looks like a modified AKM/AK-47 or AK-74, the SVD’s internals are quite different to those of the AK-family and fires a heavier 7.62mm round that is designed for this sniper system. The primary sight is the PSO-1 telescopic sight, which offers 4x magnification with limited infrared/nightscope capabilities.
