A new mod for Just Cause 2 is in the works allowing for an astounding 600 players online.
The Just Cause 2 multiplayer mod is still in beta, but that hasn't stopped 10,000 people from registering on the mod's forum.
Avalanche Studios' Just Cause 2 is notorious for having one of the largest game worlds ever created. It's so phenomenally huge that you can steal a jetplane and it will still take several minutes to traverse across the map.
Yet, despite its open sandbox, Just Cause 2 was an entirely lonely experience with no multiplayer. Sure, causing a ruckus among NPCs is fun, but it's no substitute for doing it to the real thing.
The Just Cause 2 multiplayer beta isn't currently available, but it opens up here and there on weekends for testing. Check the
official site and
twitter for more updates on beta tests.
