Games

Special Operations

Heavy Fire: Special Operations is an on-rails arcade shooter developed by Teyon for the WiiWare and Nintendo 3DS. It first appeared as a WiiWare title in North America on July 26, 2010 and in the PAL region on December 31, 2010. An updated version for the Nintendo 3DS, called Heavy Fire: Special Operations 3D, was released on September 13, 2012 in North America, and on October 25, 2012 in the PAL region for the Nintendo eShop.

Heavy Fire: Special Operations is a shooting game set in Somalia where players join the elite special force fighting against terrorists. A player starts the game as a Private equipped with a pistol and his goal is to eliminate opponents and gain as many points as possible to advance in the military hierarchy. Players can get several bonuses and perform combos like ‘Leader Kill’, ‘Demolition Man’, ‘Lord of Destruction’ and others, helping to achieve a higher score. Missions can be run using the light-gun from the ground, Humvee or Blackhawk.

There are 6 ranks to achieve: Private First Class, Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Master Sergeant and Sergeant Major. Each of them is linked to one of 7 specific guns, so the more points are gathered, the better the weapon can be used.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “video game series” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q25413149. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2013, 2018 and 2011.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
