Söldner: Secret Wars

Söldner: Secret Wars is a multiplayer FPS game developed by Wings Simulations and released originally in 2004. The original release was flawed by many bugs, and updating was severely hindered by financial shortcomings of distributors JoWood, who would later drop the developers. In 2011, Söldner was made freeware.

Detailed stats about each weapon can be seen at [1]

The free download of the "Community Edition" can be obtained at [2]

The game still introduced several new elements into multiplayer FPS games, like the "Commander" mode, fully customizable player models and weapon configurations and a giant single map of several 1000 kms width and height. Besides that, the game is still renowned for its giant arsenal of weapons and vehicles in the game.

The weapon system of the game is divided into 5 slots:

1. Slot 1 holds the knife as a meelee weapon.
2. Slot 2 holds a pistol.
3. Slot 3 holds any weapon categorized as a "rifle". This also includes several SMGs and grenade launchers.
4. Slot 4 holds grenades and explosives.
5. Slot 5 holds rocket launchers.

Any weapon has to be bought at the base of the player's team.

The Desert Eagle Mark XIX is simply called Desert Eagle ingame and costs $700. Must be the .44 Magnum version, since the magazine capacity is 8.

HK P2000

The Heckler & Koch P2000 in Söldner could be topic to some debate, since it doesn't show the hammer of the .40 S&W variant, but holds unrealistic 16 shots in the magazine. Costs $400 ingame.

Things get messed up with the Galil AR (wooden handguard), which has its magazine capacity lowered to uncommon 25. However this is one of the more cost-efficient assault rifles, priced $2300.
