About this mod

Designed to make TS2's Arcade Mode fairer and more well-rounded, this mod revamps its guns and characters to reduce spamming and make lesser-used guns more viable! Pistols have distinct stats! Cut content is restored! Small characters are gone! And much, much more!

Did it annoy you how TimeSplitters 2's pistols basically have the same stats across the board? Were you frustrated with grenade spam from the Soviet S47 or Plasma Autorifle? Did you hate the Scifi Handgun in Arcade for its low damage and self-damaging ricochets? When you hosted game nights with friends, was there always that one guy who picked the Monkey when you said, "No small characters!"

If so, Competitive Rebalance is the TS2 mod for you!

This mod takes the overall balance of the game's Arcade Mode and reworks it to be fairer across the board. Small characters are replaced with unused characters of medium or large height, ensuring that nobody will dodge your bullets effortlessly as Robofish! The TNT now lets you carry 5 bombs at once, giving it more utility beyond a single use Timed Mine alternative. Speaking of utility, the Gun Powder now has an explosive secondary fire that can ignite its powder trails, making it a dangerous tool for setting traps!

If it's in Arcade Mode, this mod has reworked it in one way or another. Dam and Wild West are available in Deathmatch modes. Thief has teamplay as an option. The Desert Eagle, Mox Weapon, Silenced Lugers, and all other locked guns have been restored and given special stats. Pistol Ammo can go higher, S47 Grenades and Plasma Grenades are slower & limited to 10 shots, and the Scifi Handgun gets damage boosts along with a full-auto fire mode.

On top of this, all characters are unlocked by default. You'll need to unlock modes and maps in a new save game, but all of the weapons here should work in Story Mode and Arcade League. A text document listing all changes to the game, like the crosshair being active on most weapons, is included with the patch. No texture mods are needed for this, so it should play the same on an emulator or a console.
