I’d love to see some kind of team-based racing, where half the players are free to grapple between vehicles and shoot at one another. Racing other players rewards you with money, good toward the purchase of weapons and vehicles in the open world, but too many of these races are mundane checkpoint-to-checkpoint affairs. The closest Just Cause 2 multiplayer gets to an actual mission structure is its racing mode, which you join by typing “/race” into the chat bar.


There isn’t even much of a reward for taking out other players, so you’re better off staying away from this kind of combat. It’s often a matter of who has the better weapon and faster network connection. Gunplay isn’t particularly nuanced or exciting, which is no surprise given that Just Cause 2 wasn’t designed around multiplayer combat. Usually, the plane ends up rammed into a wall, at which point everyone pulls out their guns and starts shooting. I cracked myself up by attempting some mid-air collisions on unsuspecting airliners, but just getting off the ground can be a struggle other players can grapple onto your vehicle and hijack it instantly, and the bigger planes tend to have a cluster of players vying for control. The sky is filled with players parachuting in, and fighter jets spewing bullets toward everything in sight. It’s a pretty chaotic scene in these hotspots. Typing “/tp airport,” for instance, takes you to an area filled with planes, choppers and, in my experience, dozens of players trying to kill each other. Also available races, Derby, Tron game and other game modes.Your character spawns in mid-air at a random location, allowing you to grapple and parachute your way down to the ground. Chances are, you’ll touch down in the middle of nowhere, but you can teleport to more populated areas by typing into the chat bar. The capabilities of the players and variety of the game modes differ from server to server: for example, on some you can unite in groupings, buy real estate and make raids on enemy gangs.

In multiplayer, players arrange the chaos using the elaborated game physics and grappling hook. Pirated copies of the game are not supported.Īs in the original game, the action takes place on the tropical island of Panau. Mod also supports the achievements and the possibility of simultaneously playing several hundred players on one map at once. The project was so successful that after the release it was recognized by game developers officially as the add-on and was officially added to all sold copies of Just Cause 2 on Steam as a free add-on. By joining forces, they developed their version of multiplayer. This did not suit the two fans of the game Jaxm and Trix, who were engaged in mods for it. Description: In the original Just Cause 2 there was no multiplayer.
