Background Story:
Arulco’s economy has completely collapsed and the country has now become a
base for international drug cartels.
Export of precious metals, which was the foundation of Arulco’s economy, is
now just a cover for the extensive export of drugs into North America.
The North American Drug
Agency has been unable to affect the export of drugs through regular
diplomatic channels due to the cartels’ influence and has been forced to take
more specific action to stop the drug trade. You are sent in as a leader of a
small band of hired guns, your mission: the elimination of all key personnel
of the Arulcan Government and, if possible, the complete extermination of the
drug cartels. If successful, you will be hailed as heroes. If you fail, the
Agency will deny all knowledge of the operation.
Wildfire includes
modifications to all aspects of the original game. Changes were made to all
weapons, landscapes, structures, missions, enemies and the AI. All elements
within the game were altered to make it more realistic, bringing it closer to
real-life.

World, Real Weapons, Real Enemies… REAL TROUBLE!
