Found this sub recently and man. The flood of nostalgia. So good to see so many people really appreciate the games. Especially 1. Never played 2.
I’m thinking of getting a PS2 off eBay plus the physical copy just to relive part of my childhood.
What was everyone’s favorite part of returning to the games with adult eyes?
Just one of the beatiful screenshots I made
Good day, dear community.
I'm making some fixes for the game.
Details are available here https://www.reddit.com/r/MercenariesGames/s/KZGMcROWDz
But I'm confused with partners' challenges from Misha, Fiona and so on.
I want to make some patches and I would like to hear the community opinions about the following:
​
Challenge name:
Level 1: X seconds (or points like in Misha's challenge)
Level 2: X seconds (or points)
Level 3: X seconds (or points)
Your feedback will be very valuable for me. I do believe that we can fix all this mess together.
Thank you!
Also, I just love the vibe of Mercs 1, from the muted gloomy tones and lighting, to the sounds of distant battles, jets flying above, and the amazing soundtrack that immerses you. I'll never get tired of this game
Hello everyone. Would anyone like to help each other get the co-op trophies? I am willing to help anyone if they can help me as well. Hope to hear from someone soon so we can earn this platinum trophy!
I've tried searching for a physical copy of the Mercenaries PoD deck of 52 cards on the internet but the closest I get to that is the cards that were used in the Iraq war which can be played with.
1: These are fake guns so don’t worry.
2: Yes, I shot this in my backyard cause I can’t really go out in public like this.
No crashes on Solano's Villa or when loading a city, I mean.
Used to run smoothly on my old laptop, always crashes on my new one.
What are Offline Support Kits?
Offline Support Kits are the other factions answers to the Mafia's Merchant of Menace. Faction relations will be much more volatile and harder to juggle in JE3.
Word travels quickly in North Korea. Doing contracts for a faction will certainly end up pissing off their competition, and they'll only get more and more bitter as the war progresses. Because of this, I thought it'd be necessary to provide an alternative "offline" support system not relying on the Russian Mafia.
Here's how OSK's work:
- One support kit per chapter for every faction, including 4 vehicles and one miscellaneous item (supply drops or artillery barrages)
- Kits will spawn outside faction HQ's on the start of a mission, and will be orderable at the start of missions
- Kits spawn as crates that include 5 new support items that you can equip to a grenade slot.
Mafia Shop Pros:
- Cheap and affordable
- Full inventory accessible at any time in free roam (up to what you've unlocked)
- Airstrikes available at any time
- Larger selection
- Civilian, NK and Russian Vehicles and drops
Mafia Shop Cons:
- No squads
- Middle - low grade equipment
- Limited helicopter selection (Only cargo copters, no attack helos or littlebirds)
- Susceptible to jammers
- Can't order helicopters during ace contracts
Offline Support Kit Pros:
- Higher quality vehicles and supply drops
- Full squads come with most vehicles
- Quick access from grenade slot
- Includes attack helos and littlebirds
- Jammer-proof
- Helicopters orderable in ace contracts (though these maps will be packed with AA to balance this out.)
Offline Support Kit Cons:
- More expensive
- Airstrikes not included except for artillery strikes (you'll have to rely on mission specific strikes)
- Limited to faction-specific equipment
- Uses up a grenade slot (you only have two, choose wisely)

I got a 2002 Honda metropolitan how many people would find it hilarious if i made the devastator in real life?
Hi all!
I want to share the good news with you. I'm currently developing a comprehensive fix for our favorite game.
The fix includes:
- Disabling DoF
- Disabling aim assist
- Enabling permanent death for NPCs
- The fine for killing an NPC has been increased to $25,000
- Fixed a bug where after a kick and a collision with an NPC he gets up and then falls dead again
- Corpses don't disappear immediately anymore
- Shadow fixes
- I will also optionally share my ReShade preset.
And this is not the final list of what I have in mind :)
I have reached the final stage, but I want to test everything as much as possible before sharing the fixes with the community.
These fixes are created for the PS3 version of the game, due to the fact that you can run it through the RPCS3 emulator, which is the most advanced. Also, the PS3 version of the game includes DLC and effects that were not available on the PC version.
Viva Mercenario!
Can you guys pls help me ?
So I am currently doing a run of Mercenaries 2 for my youtube, I just did number 1 and I did a set of rules just to make the game more difficult but some of them I did not as I came up with them as I played so I wanted input to make the games more difficult without actually modding.
Mercs 1:
Must use faction weapons and air and artillery support when you are playing as the faction during missions.
You may use Merchant of Menace support of another faction if they are allied to your current faction if they have a shared enemy.
HVT hunts are considered Allies missions.
No hi jacking tanks or vehicles of your enemies, taking a parked one is perfectly acceptable.
No using tanks or vehicle against the same enemy faction with the exception of small arms.
You must use your factions small arms at any given chance, capturing enemy weapons when you are out of ammo is perfectly acceptable in a firefight.
You may have 1 weapon of your choice, the other must match your faction.
No hiding as your enemy faction in their vehicles. You must always be present as the PMC.
Mercs 2:
Must use faction weapons and air and artillery support when you are playing as the faction during missions.
You may use air and artillery support that is allied to your current faction if they have a shared enemy and must be allied themselves.
HVT Hunts and Building Destructions are considered working for the faction so I recommend you finish each faction before moving on to avoid Fog of War.
No hi jacking tanks or vehicles of your enemies, taking a parked one is perfectly acceptable.
No using tanks or vehicle against the same enemy faction with the exception of small arms.
You must use your factions small arms at any given chance, capturing enemy weapons when you are out of ammo is perfectly acceptable in a firefight.
You may have 1 weapon of your choice, the other must match your faction.
No hiding as your enemy faction in their vehicles. You must always be present as the PMC.
You can only steal VZ fuel.
No salvaging random fuel, munitions, or cash on the map.
Any input is requested and please add your own rules. I learned over the years if you do whatever that you want to do, it makes the game too easy in my opinion.
I played the second game yesterday, it was fun, but the atmosphere of the first game seems way cooler to me, but I can't find a place to download it from on pc. Any suggestions for sites I haven't heard of?
