Next is the complete lack of desert terrain ingame (then again that depends on where you are in Mexico). You should look at the screenshots I posted and see for yourself.
Mexico has the leftist Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN), but it isn't nearly as well armed or pose as much as a threat (despite recent setbacks) as the FARC. On another note, you might be interested in watching Proof of Life, which was filmed on location in Ecuador and features a variety of weapons that would likely be used by rebels or criminals in the region.
