A remaking/expansion of the original. Mostly the same, but with new maps, weapons, and some plot revisions apparently. I guess the word on this is if you liked the original, you'll like this. I'll probably check this out sometime.

Jagged Alliance 2: Wildfire
Game Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~
Wildfire, created by Serge "Wildfire" Popov, a well known pioneer in the
JA2 community includes changes 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.
Wildfire takes you back to Arulco, its 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 cartel’s influence
and has been forced to take more specific action. You are sent in as a
leader of a small band of hired guns to eliminate the Kingpin of the main
drug cartel. If successful, you will be hailed as heroes. If you fail, the
Agency will deny all knowledge of the operation.
Real World, Real Weapons, Real Enemies... REAL TROUBLE!
