Deadly Dozen Pacific Theater
|
Deadly Dozen Pacific Theater is a 2002 tactical squad-based first-person/third-person video game, developed by nFusion and published by Infogames exclusively for the PC. It is a sequel to the original Deadly Dozen.
As in the previous game, it is set during the Second World War, this time in the Pacific Theater. The player takes up to four soldiers from a selection of a dozen through various operations against the Imperial Japanese Army with perma-death for fallen soldiers.
The following weapons appear in the video game Deadly Dozen Pacific Theater:
Handguns
Colt M1911A1
Once again, the M1911A1 appears as the handgun for the Dozen, the slide on the gun never moves when firing or reloading.
Nambu Type 14 (Transition Model)
The Nambu Type 14 is the Japanese handgun used mainly by Japanese officers as well as a single surviving crewman whenever the player destroys a tank. It is notably better detailed than the 1911, with the bolt locking back on a reload and the magazine visibly replaced.
Submachine Guns
M1A1 Thompson
The M1A1 Thompson returns from the first game and still holds 20 rounds despite being modeled with a 30-round magazine. It has higher damage than the Type 100.
Type 100
The Type 100 appears as the submachine gun for Japanese forces. It is equipped with an unusable bayonet in first person but lacks one in third person, it seems the developers mistakenly thought the gun was chambered like the Type 14 as the reload animation features the player pulling back on the rear of the weapon like it's a bolt. It inaccurately holds only 20 rounds like the Thompson.
Rifles
M1 Garand
The M1 Garand returns as the Dozen's main rifle, while it lacks a scope it still does decent damage with good range. The rifle now features the Garand ping when reloading but the animation still features the player manually pulling the bolt back due to re-using the reload animation for other rifles; this also means no en-bloc clip is actually ejected and the animation resembles loading cartridges one-by-one like with the Springfield.
M1 Carbine
The M1 Carbine is the alternative rifle option for the Deadly Dozen, it holds more ammo than the Garand but with less damage and range, it also uses the "Sidearm" skill shared with the Colt/Nambu as opposed to the "Rifle" skill.
Its third-person model would later be recycled for Line of Sight: Vietnam and Elite Warriors Vietnam.
M1903A4 Springfield
The only scoped US rifle in the game, the M1903A4 Springfield can be brought into missions by the Dozen and has high accuracy and range due to the scope.
An odd quirk of the bolt-action rifle reload animations is that only a single round is seemingly inserted yet it fully reloads the rifle.
Arisaka Type 99
The Arisaka Type 99 is the main weapon of the Imperial Japanese Army, with high damage and accuracy in exchange for a slow fire rate.
It has a scoped version which uses different ammunition than the regular version for seemingly no reason other than the usual "balancing purposes".
The unscoped version has an unusable bayonet and is depicted with its aircraft sights up in first person.
Machine Guns
M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle
Appearing as the US machine gun, the M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle holds 20 rounds and is a relatively accurate high-damage weapon.
Type 96
The Type 96, which is incorrectly called "Type 99 Light Machine Gun" in-game, is the Japanese light machine gun of choice. It is a somewhat infrequent find and is surprisingly inaccurate compared to other automatic weapons.
Flamethrowers
M2 Flamethrower
The M2 Flamethrower is only available from the loadout menu. It holds 100 percent of fuel that cannot be replenished during a mission and is heavy enough to always inflict a weight penalty on the operator.
Rocket Launchers
M1 Bazooka
As in the first game, the M1 Bazooka appears mislabeled as the "M1A1 Bazooka". In stark contrast to the previous game, enemy tanks can often survive around three rockets before being destroyed.
Type 4 Rocket Launcher
The Type 4 Rocket Launcher appears as the Japanese rocket launcher. It is mostly found laying around in levels but rarely encountered in enemy hands. It has similar shockingly low damage against tanks as the M1 Bazooka.
Grenades
Mk 2 hand grenade
The Mk 2 hand grenade appears as the Allied grenade in the game.
Type 97 hand grenade
The Type 97 hand grenade appears as the Japanese grenade and can be found in missions.
AI Japanese soldiers do not seem to throw them and due to an error, it and the Japanese Type 4 rocket launcher cannot be equipped via the hotkey for selecting explosive weapons and must be selected manually. It also appears to be missing the safety pin and protective cap.
