'''''Heat Project''''' ([[Korean language|Korean]]: 히트프로젝트) is a FPS game with that is based on realistic weapons and places including [[Alcatraz Island]], [[Mong Kok]] and the [[National Palace Museum]].
 
Scoring kills earns the player permanent money to buy weapons, like guns and grenades. Using game points (GASH for Hong Kong and Taiwan), you can also buy more weapons, for example, the SACR ([[Steyr ACR]]) can be only bought with game points.
 
== Storyline ==
In year 2020, the Cinor Empire was invading other countries and became a large empire. They used ruthless ways to invade other countries, causing patriots to form a rebellion called Kronoc. The Kronoc rebels hired bio-engineered mercenaries from a wealthy company called Asin, forming the Kronoc Army.
The Cinor Empire also hired bio-engineered mercenaries to counterattack the rebel army.
 
== Weapons ==
There are many kinds of weapons in the game, including assault rifles, submachine guns, shotguns and pistols. <ref>http://www.heatproject.com.hk/data3.asp</ref>
 
Line 36:
*[[Submachine gun]]s: Submachine guns (commonly abbreviated as "SMG") are more effective in close quarter battles. Although it does not have the high damage of a Machine Gun, nor the accuracy of an Assault Rifle, its light weight and high [[rate of fire]] makes it a favourite weapon for firefights in dangerous enclosed areas where players must keep moving to minimize the chance of being hit.
 
*[[Sniper rifle]]s: Sniper rifles are long range weapons. In the game, you can only see a crosshair when you are using the scope. In the Hong Kong version of the game, players used to call the SL96 ([[L96A1]]) in the game as "210". This is because it deals 210 damage, usually causing instant kill even the victim is shot in non-lethal areas.
 
*[[Knife|Knives]]: Knives are issued to every player in the game. Similar to the game [[Counter-Strike]], players usually draw their knives out while walking. Due to the light weight of knives, players can move faster. Knives are not purchasable in the game, but your knives will upgrade later when you are a Colonel in the game, and replaced with a sword when you're a General in the game.
 
*[[Hand grenade|Grenades]]: Grenades include frag grenades, flashbangs and smoke grenades.
 
== Ranks ==
Heat Project uses a rank system, you can upgrade your character with experience points into different ranks, including [[Private (rank)|Private]] to [[General]]. When you are promoted to another rank, you can gain "technique points", which you can use it to learn some special techniques.
 
Experience points are calculated by your numbers of kills, deaths and how many rounds did your win and lose. When killing characters with more high level than you, you will gain more experience points. <ref>http://www.gamania.com.hk/heatproject/data4.asp</ref>
 
== Customization ==
There are several ways to customize your character, for example, you can change your clothes to other uniforms, for example, Christmas suits, [[camouflage]] suits and police uniforms are available. You can also customize your hair color, also, you can choose your character's size. (big and small) <ref>http://www.heatproject.com.hk/guide2.asp</ref>
 
== Gameplay ==
=== Official Gameplay Modes <ref>http://tw.heatproject.gamania.com/help_8.html</ref>===
*Mission Combat - In Mission Combat mode, A team must plant a bomb at one of the bombsites. If the bomb is not planted after 4 minutes, B team will win automatically. It takes 40 seconds to plant or disarm a bomb. Another way to win is to eliminate all players of the opposition team. Players who are killed cannot respawn until the next round.
 
Line 58:
*Unlimited Combat - Players will be spawned in different locations in this mode. The game will end when there are 50 or 100 deaths (decided by the host). Deathmatch only maps include "Four Room" and some other maps. But all maps can be used for deathmatch and team deathmatch.
 
=== Player-made Game Modes ===
Players have created some game modes by themselves, including knife wars and more.
 
*Knife Warfare - In Knife Warfare, you can only use a knife, sometimes, people also have some other rules, including "1 versus 1 only" or "Count 3 before dueling".
 
*Subarm Battle - In Subarm Battle, you can only use subarms and knives, that means pistols, shotguns and knives.
 
*Sniping Servers - You can only use [[sniper rifles]], subarms (like shotguns and pistols) and knives.
 
*Bug Mode - In this mode, people exploit bugs in maps, they are (usually) free to do everything, except killing, but sometimes, players break the rules and use speed hacks.
 
== Maps ==
Most maps in Heat Project are based on realistic places <ref>http://www.heatproject.com.hk/info2.asp</ref>, for example, [[Alcatraz Island]], [[Mong Kok]], [[National Palace Museum]] are in this game.
== Glitches ==
[[Image:Hpalis_bug.png|250px|thumb|Screenshot shows a user using a bug in the "[[Alcatraz Island]]" map.]]
[[Image:Hpx_tn.png|250px|thumb|Screenshot shows one of the gun editing programs in the game.]]
In Heat Project, there are still some bugs and glitches. For example, in the "Snowland" map, players can walk up the mountain to snipe enemy players, and in the "[[Alcatraz Island]]" map, players can also jump outside the map boundaries.
 
In July, people in the Hong Kong version of Heat Project are exploiting a glitch to edit guns, they released the program and called it "改槍為王" (literally, "Editing guns is the only way") and named it "哈哈哈.exe". ("Hahaha.exe"), also, it's usually bundled with hex editors. The hack enabled some hackers to edit their guns into better guns, like unreleased guns that are only in other localized versions. (for example, the [[Dragunov sniper rifle]] and [[smoke grenade]]s)
 
In about 2006 quarter four, an unknown developer made a hack named "捉蟲皇后" (literally, "debugging queen"), then the same developer released popular hacks named with an "egg" theme like "阿婆鐵蛋" and "阿伯龜蛋". (lit. Grandma's Metal Egg, Grandpa's Turtle Egg) These hacks can be used without hex editors unlike some of the older hacks. <ref>http://www.uwants.com/viewthread.php?tid=2945863</ref>
Newer hacks, like "漢堡加蛋" (lit. hamburger w/ egg) introduced new functions like bundled in login functions.
 
== Criticisms ==
Due to lack of moderating in the Hong Kong version, hacks are common in the server. Some people call [[Gamania]] as "爛橙" (rotten orange) due to bad service and unable to stop hacking, but [[Gamania]] is starting to ban players<ref>http://www.gamania.com.hk/heatproject/hp060703.asp</ref>, and change to an better anti-hack system, [[nProtect]]<ref>http://www.gamania.com.hk/heatproject/hp061205.asp</ref> to block hacking.
 
Despite using the [[nProtect]] system, hacking is still possible. For example, in the Taiwan version, hackers used an fake [[nProtect]] server to continue editing ingame items.

There are 4 localized versions released for now.
