These are the very first official mods for Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction and Mercenaries 2: World in Flames PS2. They are a total gameplay rebalance, and visual overhaul (not including reshade and custom textures) of the two games.

Juche Edition Changelog:

0.93:
Fixed huge payout for SK fuel depot mission
Vehicle damage tweaks
Decreased LoD size by 5, lessening freezes
"Helo's Can't Be Hijacked" Modifier

0.92:
LOD removal on NPC's and vehicles.
Machine guns are buffed against light vehicles and do more damage to the player.

0.9:
Increased vehicle resistance to bullets, as they were exploding from small arms WAY too quickly.
Small arms do 0.5x more damage to the player. Really not all that noticeable.
Nerfed small arms against regular and light armor vehicles, but made them more susceptible to machine gun fire and explosions.
Removed Surgical Strike from the shop, as I thought it was a bit too cheap and overpowered.
New weathers in a few places.

List of core changes:

• Significant increase to enemy weapon damage. Large but fair spike in difficulty with boots-on-the-ground firefights.

• Overhauled faction relations. AN and SK are unfriendly at the start. China is hostile from the start, so you'll have to bribe them or find some other way to earn their favor. Every faction will shoot the Russian mob on site.
Allies and China are hostile. Allies and SK are unfriendly to civilians. (If you are installing in the middle of a playthrough, make sure to use the cheat to reset faction relations to default to get these.)

• More realistic gravity, which in turn means less floaty driving physics.

• Much harder to hijack helicopters from the air.

• Anti material rifle buffed significantly. It is capable of exploding an NK scout in 1 - 3 hits.

• Various minor tweaks to vehicle armor.

• Unclimbable slope check has been slightly reduced, meaning more mountains are climbable.

• Props (Boxes, blown up vehicles, barrels, etc) can be destroyed with guns or explosions.

• Money earned from contracts is halved. Use those funds wisely.

• Helicopters have been cut from the MoM, except for the UH-60.

• New HUD

M2 is completely overhauled visually.

A few new weathers have been added for PoD.

NEW (optional) FEATURES:

All out ped chaos
Factions are broke
Instantly explodable vehicles
New HUDS! - Relation Tweaks
China and NK are allied
United Koreas: NK and SK are allied
All out faction war
AN shoots at civilians (may cause issues with some contracts...)

ALL SCREENSHOTS ARE USING WIDESCREEN HACKS AND RESHADE.

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction is an action-adventure video game developed by Pandemic Studios and published by LucasArts for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The game features an open world environment, with elements of potential stealth gaming and reputation-based social mechanics, and is set during a fictitious multi-national military action in North Korea. The player gains control of one of three mercenary main characters and completes contracts in the war-torn country for profit and to prevent a nuclear war. Critics gave favorable reviews to the game, in particular praising its focus on explosive mayhem.
