The Great Escape (2003)
|
The Great Escape is a stealth-based video game by Pivotal games on the same engine as the Conflict series of games and an adapation of the 1963 film The Great Escape.
The game only allows the player to use firearms in a small handful of levels, only three missions of the game's 18 mission long campaign allow the player to use handheld firearms and only a couple of levels have the player using mounted weaponry that they can't carry with them. (With the rest having the player be unarmed for the entire mission.)
The following guns were used in the video game The Great Escape:
Rifle
Karabiner 98k
The Karabiner 98k rifle appears as the main weapon being used by Guards, due to the game's mechanics, it holds only one bullet per "magazine" but the reload animation is racking the bolt and no new rounds are inserted into the weapon, the Karabiner 98k is only usable by McDonald, who gets one with a scope in "Struggle in the Mountains", Hendley oddly never gets one, even in the Airfield level, (Where in the film, Hendley took a Karabiner 98k from a Luftwaffe Guard, while in the game Hendley instead sneaks around with a stolen uniform.) the Rifle can only be fired when standing still by both the player and NPCs.
Submachine Guns
MP40
The MP40 submachine gun appears in-game, it is used by MacDonald in "Struggle in the Mountains" and Hendley in "Last Train Home", it is used by enemy guards but not as much as the Karabiner98k.
Sten Mk II
The Sten Mk II appears and is used by Sedgewick in "Ambush!"
Machine Guns
MG 34
What appears to be the MG 34 appears as the mounted machine gun of the game, it is called the MG 42 inaccurately in the inventory screen.
Aircraft Machine Gun
An Unknown Machine Gun appears mounted in the Bomber at the very start of the game.
Pistols
Luger P08
A poorly modelled Luger P08 appears in-game, Hilts carries one on the game's box art but it is not usable by him, it is only usable by McDonald and Sedgewick.
Arminius HW-10
The "Arminius M10" which appears to be an Arminius HW-10 appears in "Last Train Home", while anachronistic, this may be accurate to the film, as there are unidentified revolvers that may or may not be Arminius revolvers. (According to the Talk page for the film.)
Other
Model 24 Stielhandgranate
The Model 24 Stielhandgranate can be used by McDonald and Sedgewick in their action stages, unlike the Grenades in the Conflict Series, it doesn't seem enemies are capable of using it here, it is called the "Stick Grenade"
Panzerfaust
The Panzerfaust appears in "Ambush!" being used by both Sedgewick and a Resistance Fighter.
Flak 38
A Flak 38 anti-aircraft guns appears in "Burn the Codebook" Sedgewick can use it to fight off German Soldiers and optionally disable it with a Wrench afterwads to prevent it being used to destroy the Half-track he hijacks.
