Just Cause 2 Multiplayer Behind the scenes with gamings greatest hack

Forget Grand Theft Auto: Just Cause 2 is the ultimate virtual playground for gamers. The lush island of Panau stretches across 400 square miles of territory - roughly the same size as Hong Kong, except somebody drew it.

You can fly stealth bombers, steal boats, ride monster trucks. Your player, Rico, is equipped with a grappling hook and a parachute by default. And it has a multiplayer mode which can support more than 1,800 players at a time on the same server.


Here’s the thing though: that multiplayer mode? The developer Avalanche Studios had nothing to do with it - it was built by a couple of programmers from Australia in their spare time.

The mod is so well put together that it has attracted the attention of Avalance Studios, the creators of Just Cause 2. Christofer Sundberg, Avalanche's CEO, gushed praise at the indie crew on his Twitter account; in an interview last month with Gamespy UK, Sundberg tellingly stated, "The mod team has really proven that multiplayer works well with Just Cause 2, and again we are really thrilled following their progress."

Can we play the MP on PSN?

As far I as know, you can't. The best part about this is that a group of independent developers have made this without any support from Avalanche Studios. They are testing it right now for bugs and have a beta test every few weeks.

They successfully played the game with 600 players without any kind of lag - kinda amazing.
