Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza (2002)

Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza is a first-person shooter based off of the 1988 action movie Die Hard for Microsoft Windows . The game originally used a modified Build engine, later the GoldSrc engine, before it was finally moved to the Lithtech engine. The game features the voice of Reginald VelJohnson, reprising his role as Al Powell.

The following weapons can be seen in the game Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza:


Beretta 92F

Everyone agrees, that a Die Hard video game would be incomplete without a Beretta 92F pistol. This is McClane's starting weapon, and is also used by Hans (instead of the H&K P7 seen in the film). The Beretta uses 17-round flush fit magazines. When switching to the 92F, McClane pulls the slide. When switching away from the Beretta, McClane will de-cock the hammer before holstering it. Secondary fire is the melee attack.

Hans reaches for his Beretta to kill Mr. Takagi. Note the missing takedown lever and slide release lever.

Heckler & Koch MP5N

The H&K MP5N is the main automatic weapon used by the terrorists. The game features a real MP5, unlike the film where chopped HK94's were standing in for the MP5. The MP5 in the game is also incorrectly modelled with the cocking handle on the right side of the weapon.

Colt Model 733

The Colt Model 733 is mainly seen in the hands of SWAT officers and some bad guys. It is fitted with an A1E1 upper receiver and M16-style fixed stock. Utilizes 20-rounder, angled magazines (although, on the HUD it is shown with a 30-rounder mag). Shares ammo with the AUG.

Steyr AUG A1

The Steyr AUG A1 is powerful and accurate, significantly better than the MP5N. The secondary fire toggles the scope. When using the scope, the gun becomes semi-auto only. The ingame Steyr AUG sports a black stock while Karl's AUG in the movie has the khaki stock.

M60E3

An M60E3 is used by Fritz, and later by a terrorist raining down hell on the police in front of the Nakatomi building. This is a stand in for the scene where Alexander turns Sergeant Powell's car into "swiss cheese" and when he shoots out the lights with the M60E3 in the movie.

Custom Rocket Launcher

The custom rocket launcher seen in the film is also present in the game. The terrorist uses it to take out a SWAT APC. In the movie, the launcher is fired twice, but only once in the game.
