Mexican Mission is an Arcade level in TimeSplitters 2 and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect.
Layout[]
The majority of the level's layout consists of the mission. Outside the mission, there is a courtyard with some adobe houses, which provide protection from bullets.
The mission itself features three levels; a ground floor, an upper level with a courtyard in the middle (which you can use to drop down to the ground floor), and a cellar.
It also features a small Easter Egg; a bell that rings when shot, similarly to how the gong in Chinese works.
There are some slight differences between the TimeSplitters 2 version of the map and the TimeSplitters: Future Perfect version of the map. The health packs have changed locations, and the map's hue has been slightly altered.
Also, the location of one bag in Capture the Bag has changed. In TimeSplitters 2, the second bag base was on the upper level, whereas in TimeSplitters: Future Perfect it has been moved to the cellar.
This is probably to make the distance between the bases even, because, in TimeSplitters 2, it was easy to jump off the upper level into the courtyard and quickly get to the other base. However, it has received criticism due to the confusing cellars being a poor placement for a base.
Also, the walls in the cellar of this level had an overhaul from TimeSplitters 2 to TimeSplitters: Future Perfect.
Playable Modes[]
In TimeSplitters 2, every game mode, except Assault, is playable. In TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, every game mode is playable.
Trivia[]
- When playing on Mexican Mission, it can be seen that the fountain in the courtyard is only just switched on at the start of the match. This is best seen on Simian Shootout, due to the starting position.
- The ability to shoot the mission's church bell is possibly a reference to Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann, which had a scene where the priest at a Mexican mission shoots the bell to ring it.
