I played the beta for several hours without really doing anything. Just going around boosting into other peoples plane as they take off, flying planes into other people, driving in 700 km/h into a wall. Its just some of the most hilariously dumb things I have done in games.

At last count I think I put in over 60 hours in the single player game, but only actually did like 3 story missions lol... just enough to unlock the world. The rest of the time was pure glorious stupidity, aided by the bolo mod (man I hope they have unbreakable tethers in this).

The trailer gives pretty much zero information on exactly what the goals are in multiplayer.

There are no goals.

@branthog: they're aren't any goals in Just Cause 2 Multiplayer

There are no objectives, but there is a goal. The goal is having fun, which mostly correlates with boosting and smashing vehicles.

Good times from earlier. Mile High Club shenanigans, as well as a 144 player derby. Started the derby at 80fps. By the time I got to the 100 car pileup in the center, I was down to 8fps.

Disabling the dots helps performance a good bit, I didn't think of it until just now.

@crusader8463: Except for the fact the game had no mod tools, and this was just a labor of tearing the ever loving hell out of the game's code to get something as insanely daunting as adding multiplayer to a purely single player game going. It still makes a statement, but not neccesarily the one of "Make games moddable".

Also the one's who did this are mostly not even part of the dev team and I think we're just people from the community

Favorite part about this trailer:

"Experience Epic"

They never bother to qualify what's epic about it. It's a statement that says SO MUCH about their design philosophy and their audience.

"Look, if we have to tell you what's awesome about this, you're clearly in the wrong place."

I think there are mods available for servers to arrange giant races or deathmatches, but by default, it's all free roam, all the time. :-)

When I think of good excuses for dropping to 8fps, "hundred-car pileup" is one of them.

This is the fucking power of PC modification. Without a PC release we'd never have seen this.

Late enough, I'd say. How many games get this much of a popularity/sales boost 3 years after release? Avalanche Studios did everything right to promote & take advantage of this.

I really wasn't a big fan of Just Cause, but this does look insane.

Probably runs better than Battlefield 4 at this stage.
