A group of PC gamers set out to spruce up the single-player-only open-world action game Just Cause 2 with multiplayer, and they succeeded, showing off some crazy multiplayer moments – and now there are some new additions.
Players can now take on one another in 62-player limousine races (backed by some music from Pappa the Rappa).
The JC2-MP mod adds the capabilities for multiple players to unleash havoc, destruction and perform crazy stunts together, even allowing 1800 players on the same map. Flipping speedboats, tank battles, free-fall competitions, dogfights and just about anything else you can think of doing with friends in Just Cause 2 is now a possibility.
The mod will undoubtedly spark some more interest into Just Cause 2 for players who maybe neglected the over-the-top action game, and can monitor the development of the mod on the Just Cause 2 multiplayer mod page.
“What the guys have done now with the multiplayer mod is fantastic, and it completely came out of left field. So we have them to thank for a lot. It’s even too crazy for Just Cause,” said Avalanche boss Christofer Sundberg. “If we had done it it would have been more planned. Since it’s a mod, it’s just like DayZ, they can get away with a lot, which we wouldn’t be able to unfortunately as a developer.”
Although it’s not yet been announced, Just Cause 3 is rumoured to be in development already for next-gen consoles and PC.
