This type of gameplay will be nothing new to XBOX 360 owners - the Halo series has been closely associated with this style of gameplay for years - but its largely uncharted territory for PlayStation 3. It relies on sandbox combat, giving you a gigantic battlefield to see off the enemy in any tactical regard you see fit. And its a catastrophic omission, because Crysis 2 is unlike virtually every other first-person shooter on PlayStation 3. Crysis 2 is a fantastic game once you know how to play it, but Crytek is so concerned with throwing the player in and out of consciousness over the first couple of hours (really!) that the developer forgets to explain how any of the gameplay actually works. Shine on you crazy diamonds.Unfortunately, its harder to forgive Crytek's butchered presentation of the game mechanics. 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. 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.
