Perhaps you’re unaware, but there’s a group of modders working on bringing out a multiplayer mode for Just Cause 2 (with the official blessing of Avalanche, no less). This mod takes the island nation of Panau, where the game is set, and opens it up for hundreds of player to wreck havoc. Just take a look at this launch trailer if you’re having trouble picturing this.
You can grab the Just Cause 2 multiplayer mod on Steam and, in recognition of the launch, Just Cause 2 itself is on sale for 80% off for the next day.
So, has anyone tried out the multiplayer? Are we thinking a GamerSushi Community Night for this?
I actually just picked up the bundle from this sale! I couldn’t resist the deal! Though I’ve never got to play the full Just Cause 2, I played the demo when it was going to release for countless hours. It really was a fun game, the story I’m not so sure was what would be amazing, but the gameplay was where it counted. I’m excited to give the singleplayer and multiplayer a try as I just upgraded my graphics card and now I can play all my games at highest.
Multiplayer was fun. No lack of vehicles or players, able to teleport across the huge map, no NPCs. My experience has lacked some of the coordination between players that make the trailer seem so cool, but it definitely has potential.
I played this throughout the beta tests and it was great seeing it progress. The boost is the best part though, its so game breaking its hilarious.
