Presently, the developers intend to continue adding features, though the process of doing so has changed as the mod has been released.Ģ010: The idea for a multiplayer mod for Just Cause 2 came about when Trix, the mod's lead programmer, envisioned Just Cause 2's game world packed with other players while playing the game's demo version before its release. The beta testing stage was strictly intended to collect feedback for the developers to use as new versions of the mod were produced, and though one might argue that the beginning, middle, end, or the entirety of the testing stage was superior to the final "product", the point remains that the testing stage was intended to help move the mod closer to its eventual release. The developers' primary concern has always been testing new possibilities and moving from one stage of development to the next. The concept of introducing parts of the game to players all at once is a steep contrast to those upheld in the base game, which saw players being introduced to various gameplay elements incrementally rather than all at once.Ī game developer in reply to a post questioning the implementation of teleportation: " Because people blowing each other up or driving cars into each other, rather than spending most of their time driving to their destination, tests way more features, is more likely to cause crashes and stresses the server." Today progression exists primarily in roleplay and survival servers. However, a sense of progression once existed to a limited extent through a currency system that was implemented during the beta testing stage. It should be noted that JC2 multiplayer sacrifices Just Cause 2's sense of progression and features an "everything is unlocked from the beginning" type of gameplay experience on many servers. The vast majority of servers feature the classic freeroam script, which very basic by itself, though things like vehicle/player spawns can be added to the server's scripts folder to make the freeroam experience feel more like the one featured in the testing stage of development. This leads to the creation of scripts by server owners who are able to put these objects to use. However, objects from the game's files including vehicles, character models, weapons, effects, and dynamic audio can be spawned in to the game world at will. The mod removes the base game's artificial intelligence and story elements, leaving only the island itself. Shine on you crazy diamonds.While JC2 multiplayer is technically a mod, it's less of a modification and more of a face-lift of the entire game.
I love seeing mistakes by publishers corrected by modders. Not only are we getting multiplayer in a game that straight up deserved to have a co-op campaign (and why it didn't ship with it natively should be considered a war crime), but it's coming for free, by fans who just wanted to see this crazy friend get the support it needed. Anyone interested in testing this thing out before the official release can apply here. The final beta test will be going on the 7th of December through the 14th. The only requirement is that you need to own the game, on Steam. This mod is fully integrated into Steam, so you can just invite straight from your friends list.
JUST CAUSE 2 PC STEAM MODS FOR FREE
The thriving community of co-op diehards who have a soft spot for Just Cause are releasing this for free by the end of the year. Now you can wreck the world of Just Cause 2 with other players via a mod on Steam for anyone who owns the game. The only problem with Just Cause? You had this big open world with incredible mobility and the goal to make everything there explode, except you had to do so alone.
Open world games have a tendency to spark fits of incredible devastation, and Just Cause was the game that said "Who wants all this driving around and listening to the radio? You know what all the kids are talking about these days? Grappling hooks." Now, instead of hijacking a parked car and turning the car's former pilot into a pedestrian, you were given the ability to fire a grappling hook at a car, building, human being, airplane, etc, rip inside and take this vehicle for your own. Despite the lack of cooperative play, this is still a really amazing feat by regular people who really just enjoy playing the game. Looks like the co-op dream will need to wait until (hopefully!) Just Cause 3.īefore there was Saints Row: The Third or Grand Theft Auto Online, there was Just Cause 2. The team behind it has no immediate plans to add NPCs to this mode. Thanks to everyone who let me know otherwise. It adds a multiplayer mode with no NPCs that encourages PVP play. AUTHOR'S NOTE: The mod does not add co-op.
