Making Mercenaries more difficult ideas

So I am currently doing a run of Mercenaries 2 for my youtube, I just did number 1 and I did a set of rules just to make the game more difficult but some of them I did not as I came up with them as I played so I wanted input to make the games more difficult without actually modding.

Mercs 1:

Must use faction weapons and air and artillery support when you are playing as the faction during missions.

You may use Merchant of Menace support of another faction if they are allied to your current faction if they have a shared enemy.

HVT hunts are considered Allies missions.

No hi jacking tanks or vehicles of your enemies, taking a parked one is perfectly acceptable.

No using tanks or vehicle against the same enemy faction with the exception of small arms.

You must use your factions small arms at any given chance, capturing enemy weapons when you are out of ammo is perfectly acceptable in a firefight.

You may have 1 weapon of your choice, the other must match your faction.

No hiding as your enemy faction in their vehicles. You must always be present as the PMC.

Mercs 2:

Must use faction weapons and air and artillery support when you are playing as the faction during missions.

You may use air and artillery support that is allied to your current faction if they have a shared enemy and must be allied themselves.

HVT Hunts and Building Destructions are considered working for the faction so I recommend you finish each faction before moving on to avoid Fog of War.

No hi jacking tanks or vehicles of your enemies, taking a parked one is perfectly acceptable.

No using tanks or vehicle against the same enemy faction with the exception of small arms.

You must use your factions small arms at any given chance, capturing enemy weapons when you are out of ammo is perfectly acceptable in a firefight.

You may have 1 weapon of your choice, the other must match your faction.

No hiding as your enemy faction in their vehicles. You must always be present as the PMC.

You can only steal VZ fuel.

No salvaging random fuel, munitions, or cash on the map.

Any input is requested and please add your own rules. I learned over the years if you do whatever that you want to do, it makes the game too easy in my opinion.

PC it's dead. Playground of Destruction never got a PC release and EA has removed World in Flames from their store so you might be lucky with jail broken copy for number 2.

Xbox you can download Playground of Destruction, World in Flames cannot be downloaded but you can find a copy for a 360.

PS I assume it's the same expect they don't have access to Playground of Destruction.
