With that in mind, the JC2-MP team have announced the game's imminent arrival on Steam. Having already rejuvenated an otherwise forgotten single player title, the mod's developers are now keen to bring the mode to as many players as possible. If early BETA testing figures are to be believed, the game could end up supporting as many as 600 simultaneous players, an extraordinarily impressive feat, especially considering Avalanche designed the game as a single-player-only experience. Naturally, most large-scale efforts end up falling by the wayside, but not Just Cause 2: Multiplayer, a massively ambitious title approaching its final winter release.ĭeveloped by a team of talented coders, the 'JC2-MP' mod takes the madcap action of Just Cause 2 - along with its criminally under-utilized island setting - and translates it to the chaotic realm of multiplayer. However, while many modders enjoy the kinds of creative freedoms their studio-based contemporaries can only dream of, they must also contend with little-to-no financial backing.
Mods, glorious mods, is there anything they can't do? From raising wave after wave of aspiring designers, to retooling a title from the ground up, these free-to-play fixes form a wildly important part of the PC gaming landscape.
