| Battlefield Heroes chart? Oh what the-
I wanted to have something that wasn't Call of Duty, something I could get the jump on.
(though "the jump" probably would have been when I got into the beta several months ago)
Since Heroes is free (not including buying fake clothes), anybody with a PC made after 200X can download and play.
I don't expect the Call of Dudes to have a lasting participation for this particular game, though.
NOTE: All numbers are direct from the game's files.
The only way any of these numbers are incorrect is if I made a typo.
The weapon design of BFH is different from that of CoD.
CoD sticks with hitscan bullets, Battlefield uses projectiles for everything.
Every bullet is an object that travels, so shots have to be lead on distant targets.
Sniper Rifles have a high velocity, you barely need to lead at all with them.
Machineguns have about half or less the velocity of rifles.
Pistols and shotguns have one fourth the velocity of rifles.
---
Each gun type has three versions:
1) Short range gun that has a high fire rate and shoots all over the place
2) "Default" average gun that doesn't excel at anything
3) Long range gun with good accuracy and a slow... everything
The ideal equipment would usually be to pair a Short gun with a Long gun.
You don't use real money to buy guns; rent them with earned victory points.
-
For Damage, BFH uses a lot of numbers.
BFH guns have a min-max damage range for three seperate distances.
The damage for each shot is random, though the possible min-max for most of them are small enough that the number of shots needed to take out each enemy class will not very that much (unless using the weapon outside of its ideal range).
There is also a chance for each weapon to score a Critical Hit for specific damage addition.
The rocket launcher is anti-vehicle, it has low blast damage. Its power lies in a direct hit.
Frags and TNT do a set amount of damage, damage decreases the further from the center of the blast.
The "range" areas are quite small.
Two values determine where Medium begins and where Long begins, Close starting at zero, of course.
-
Reloading consists of unimportant slapping and clacking for a few seconds.
The weapons in Battlefield Heroes are capable of being reloaded even when wielding another weapon during the reload.
Some call it "cold reload", I'm gonna go by its code, "Reload Without Player".
-
The Rate of Fire in BFH is set as rounds per minute.
No need to divide 60 by the time between shots.
-
Deviation (ie "spread") is presumably measured in degrees from the center of the crosshair.
While other Battlefield games make use of the many deviation variables, only a single number exists for Heroes.
A static number making a little cone of fire.
-
No weapon in Battlefield Heroes has Recoil except for the Sniper Rifle.
All three of them kick up and to the right.
The default rifle happens to kick the least.
The fast rifle has a bit more more oomph with each shot.
The long rifle will have you looking at the sky.
-----
No need to list the Abilities
Their in-game descriptions tell you everything you'd need to know...
Actually, some of them could use some clarity.
For example, Frenzy Fire is just about worthless.
It only subtracts 0.1 Spread per level on the MG.

| Call of Duty: World at War Info Post
Update: New Maps soon to be (or are) added to the Map Flash at the bottom.
All numbers shown are from World at War\Main\iw_14.iwd and the Mod Tools and Raw Code provided by Treyarch.
These numbers are not from guess-testing. All data taken out of the game code of the PC version.
The only way any of this is incorrect is if I made a typo. I make changes and updates every now and then.
There are some differences on consoles compared to this information for PC.
I do not have the means to record these differences as I only have World at War for PC.
The only way to get accurate numbers for any differences is with help from others with those consoles.
Any differences found should be thoroughly tested using these PC numbers as a reference.
With conclusive results, any changes will be added to the Console Differences image.

Server settings can allow player Health to be Miniscule (30) Half (50) Normal (100) and Double (200).
Health Regeneration can be set to Fast (2 seconds) Slow (10 seconds) Normal (5 seconds) and None (0 seconds).
Pretty much the only thing left is the Flamethrower. It isn't all that special.
On contact with the licks of flame, 50 damage per hit, 500~ range. It does not deliver damage over time (at all) like it does in Zombies.
       
Click the ? square above the column for an explaination.
        
Movement speed is based on which weapon class is in your primary weapon slot.
Carrying a machinegun as a primary will cause the pistol to also move at MG speed.
Pistol, SMG and Shotgun all have a speed of "1" or 100%. Rifles have 0.95 and Machineguns 0.875.
The menus in Create-a-Class are not congruent with some weapons' real "type".
For example the 30 Cal has "SMG" speed despite being a heavy machinegun.
Sprinting will increase movement speed to 150%.
Sighting a weapon will cut speed down to half, pistols cancel out that speed loss when sighted.
Moving sideways or backwards will also slow the player down to 80% or 70%.
 The image should be able to explain itself.
Blast damage numbers are along the bottom, the Kill Radius and Max Radius are diagonal.
Direct Impact symbol is for Direct Impact damage.
Fuse is obviously the time for or how the explosive detonates.
Hold is the time it takes to "pull the pin" before throwing.
All explosives gradually lose damage from the center of the blast.
The Molotov behaves a little differently.
If it hits the ground, it has a radius that will deliver the 150 Direct Impact damage, even if the enemy was not directly hit.
If it breaks against the wall or an object, no matter how close to the player it lands, it will deliver 90 splash damage.
 All explosives have a unique damage multiplier against tanks.
The Tank's hit locations are Front, Side, Rear and Underside.
Multiply the Explosive's increased Damage by the Tank's Side Multiplier to get damage.
Only a Satchel Charge can properly hit the Underside and damage is increased dramatically.
The Satchel is the best explosive against the Tank and can destroy it with one charge.
Bullets do less than one point of damage, the Hit Indicator gives a sense of false security.
Do not waste your ammo (unless that ammo comes from the PTRS-41 or the tank's machineguns).
Projectile weapons - Bazooka, Tank Turret, Rifle Grenade - excel at removing the panels and destroying the Tank Treads. The sticky explosives have little effect against the treads.
The Armor Plating on the tanks absorb hull damage delivered by bullets or projectiles.
The plates are mere decoration against the N°71 and Satchel.
Unless every projectile is intercepted by an armor plate, the number needed to destroy the tank will not change.
The damage absorbed by the armor plates goes to knocking the armor plates off.
Time is the amount of time before the player can fire his weapon again.
The actual melee strike arrives in only a tenth of a second.
Melee is the normal swing/slash.
Charge is when the player locks on and moves to stab the enemy.
The Attached Bayonet has greater range at the cost of a longer recovery time.
Range is measured in "inches".
  
The further the enemy is, the less damage he will take. Weapons have different ranges at which damage drops.
For reference, the hull of both the T-34 and Panzer in WaW are about 250 inches in length.
Before you check Wikipedia, no, the tanks in game are not to-scale with the real-world versions.
AddTime is the point during reload when ammo is added to the ammo counter.
You can interrupt the reload after the AddTime and still have a loaded weapon.
"Empty" obviously refers to when the weapon magazine is out of ammo.
Fire Time is the time between shots fired. Dividing 60 by FireTime gets RPM; dividing 60 by RPM gets FireTime.
This determines the speed for automatic weapons and the time before taking the next shot for semi/bolt/pump weapons.
The Trench Gun and Bolt-Action Rifles use RechamberTime, same thing.
DAMAGE MULTIPLIER (no image)
Self-explanatory. Headshot equals more damage. For example, 30 would be increased to 42 with a 1.4 multiplier.
Sniper Rifles and a few other weapons have different multipliers, but they behave the same. Just multiply the damage by 1.5 or 1.4 or 1.1 or 2.
Idle Amount is the area in which the ironsights/scope on a weapon moves around, affecting accuracy.
Stances can improve the Idle Amount, but not all weapons benefit from lower stances.
Every weapon has perfect accuracy when aiming down the sights (shotguns the obvious exception).
Some sights are not aligned correctly, but otherwise the bullet will always land on top of the front sight.
View Kick controls the power, direction and maximum area at which the player's view will turn when firing a weapon.
The numbers are measured in degrees (10 = 1°). Bigger number, more kick.
Kick is random, but will focus on the average. The weapon will often kick in the direction of the higher number.
A direction with two numbers means that the weapon will ALWAYS kick in that direction.
The kick for Sniper Rifles are unnecessary since the weapons will recover before the next shot can be fired.
VIEWKICK CENTER SPEED (no image)
View Kick Center Speed affects how quickly the camera returns to where the player was aiming.
Center Speed is in effect from the very instant a shot is fired.
Higher number, faster recovery.
PC / CONSOLE DIFFERENCES
Without the console versions to check against, I am unable to discover the differences between platforms myself.
For PC, all of the information is correct. For consoles, any known differences are shown in the linked picture.
Credit to those who test and detail the differences for me to record them, most of them probably left a comment below and in the message boards.
So far, all tests have been done on the XBox 360. The state of the Playstation 3 version is unkown.

Yeah, it is actually called an N°74 ... but I like calling it the N°71. | | |
| Hey, A Message Board.
From now on, all messages and comments about WaW and COD4 (and whatever future games I may "chart") should go to this free message board.
That comment box is far too cramped.
Unlike most, you don't need to register to post or look, but you do have to register to create threads.
Registering does not require you to check your e-mail for an activation, just make a name and password.
A lot easier than signing up for this Xanga place, too. | | |
| Filler post to send all of the Call of Duty 4 stuff to the next page.
TUNNEL SNAKES RULE! | | |
| So many visits and bandwidth usage got Photobucket close to this month's limit for me.
Even with all those Call of Duty images as small in filesize as possible.
A lot less clutter, too. | | |
