The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee) is a military 4WD motor vehicle created by AM General. It has largely supplanted the roles formerly served by smaller Jeeps such as the M151 1/4 ton MUTT, the M561 "Gama Goat", their M718A1 and M792 ambulance versions, the CUCV, and other light trucks. Primarily used by the United States military, it is also by a number of other countries and organizations and in civilian adaptations.
In Game
The HMMWV appears in several games of the Battlefield series.
Battlefield 2
The HMMWV is the main Medium Vehicle of the United States Marine Corps in Battlefield 2 and can hold up to 4 players (1 driver,1 gunner,2 passengers). Unlike the HMMWV other counterparts, the passengers in the rear are in a straight, vertical line while the MEC GAZ-3937 and the PLA NJ-2046 have a horizontal arrangement.
Vehicle Positions in Battlefield 2
Driver
- Protected from most weapons. Barrett snipers can pierce the windshield, and the window to the left of the driver is open, therefore making him sniper bait if he is stationary for too long. Also, AT missiles fired at the window can kill the driver with the explosion.
Gunner
- Upper body is exposed, but the gunner can duck in the vehicle to avoid fire. They are also vulnerable to gunfire going into the back of the jeep.
Rear passengers
- Body is completely exposed in the rear.
- Gunners are able to perform infantry tasks in the rear, but are unable to move. Engineers are also able to repair the vehicle by using the wrench while they are a passenger.
