Key points

PC exclusive "The Mercenaries: No Mercy" Mode.
Gold Edition base content included in the Steam version; DLC available as "Untold Stories Bundle".
Letterboxed black bars in cutscenes.
Some poor textures.
Very close FOV; mod below is a subpar workaround which may cause cutscene crashing and odd aiming angled, and doesn't work with fan-costumes.
When using keyboard/mouse controls, laser sights become a crosshair and there is no way to use laser sights. A controller is recommended for this game.
Has a green filter.[1]

Remapping

  • When mapping a button which already is mapped to another function, a warning will show up, informing the player that the controls may not work properly. To solve this, just either unbind the other function or preferably just remap it to another unused button.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/21690/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (21690) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
