Just Cause 2 Multiplayer Beta Test This Weekend

[The Doctor Zed 343]

If you don't have Just Cause 2 already, its a great sandbox game with one of the largest maps of any game out there.  It's pretty much GTA tropical islands.  Its great fun and with the upcoming Multiplayer mod, it will be all the more so.  up to 5000 players can be online at any given time, the likely number, based on my past participation, should be 300-1000 players online at any time.  Unfortunately this is only a 48 hour test so you won't be able to play for long, but the mod is nearing completion and it should be pretty awesome.

 

As of right this second the MP-beta will go up in 7 hours and 25 minutes

Somewhat annoying at some points but kinda funny and brushes over every aspect of the mod

Oh thanks for the notice I love these

[TurtleFrenzy 2612]

JC2 is the reason I have a steam. I was ecstatic when the MP was first released. Can't wait for the fully working MP.

[Ichalvl 1752]

Shit man, I love these! JC2 MP is literally the most fun game I've ever played, which is really saying something since it's so old and relatively cheap. I hope to see you guys on there!

[Illogical 1126]

I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

[The Doctor Zed 343]
