For a game built as a solo experience, that’s remarkable. Modders have run wild with it, and so even without any real word on a third Just Cause title that franchise name remains all over the PC gaming scene. Avalanche made a gaming sandbox with potential that perhaps goes beyond even what we expect from the PC versions of Grand Theft Auto games.

Just Cause 2 was released just over four years ago, and it’s still making the news. The mod was kind of an eye-opener because it sort of set the bar for us," - Christofer Sundberg, Avalanche "Multiplayer has always been something we’ve struggled with a little bit. Rico can now use his grapple to attach to any object, pull enemies off their feet, tether them to various objects, and essentially use it for all manner of physics-based stunts.While Avalanche is keeping tight-lipped about another Just Cause game, the community-made mods and co-op play in The Hunter are clearly influencing the developer's thinking. Various improvements have been made to the gameplay, allowing for even more over-the-top shenanigans. In the sequel, Just Cause 2, Rico is a few years older and has been assigned to track down his mentor and superior from the first game, who has disappeared on the also fictional Southeast Asian island of Panau, which has recently been taken over by a ruthless dictator. Notable for the inclusion of a grappling hook, which allows Rico to rappel onto moving vehicles from a distance, and a parachute, which allows for all manner of aerial stunts. The player can drive nearly every vehicle under the sun, as well as climb about on them while moving at high speeds and jumping onto other nearby cars, trucks, tanks, helicopters, etc. It centers around the exploits of Rico Rodriguez, an operative working for the Agency, as he helps local guerrillas overthrow the tyrannical regime governing the fictional Caribbean nation of San Esperito. The original Just Cause is an open world action-adventure video game created by Avalanche Software and released in 2006. Here is a video showing off the insanity of 600 players in the same game: Even though the Just Cause 2 multiplayer mod is still in beta, that hasn't stopped 10,000 people from registering on the mod's forum.

Modders are all set to fix that problem.Ī fan-made mod for the game is currently in beta testing, and it allows an extremely large amount of players to play the game together - 600 players. While Avalanche studios has created a massive world for the game, and the game is quite fun, it still feels like a lonely experience as the game has no multiplayer mode. Players can also zip around the game world with a grappling hook and an infinite number of parachutes. It has one of the biggest open worlds created in a single player game and gives you lots of things to blow up and lots of weapons to blow them up with.
