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.

I can't help but feel that Yakety Sax would have been a more appropriate theme for a JC2 MP trailer.

I've only played the beta in quick bursts, but it's a blast every time. Glorious chaos. There's still plenty of bugs, but this mod team seems to lean into these bugs and turn them into features!

It'd be great if Rockstar threw some money at these folks, so they could renovate GTA 5's multiplayer into something that's actually... fun by the time it comes to PC.

This just makes it seem like the developers were too dull to come up with this idea themselves. The world is so massive an about the only thing you can do is blow crap up and go on an endless hunt for collectibles.

I'm hoping someone gets a popular server up with all (or most) of the scripts active. The game loses a lot of it's craziness now that it's released without the huge populated beta server. There are hundreds of servers up already, most are empty or have less than 10 people. The few with over 100 are unmodded and plain freeroam (no money, no races, no factions).

The fun of the game is the number of players and factions that were doing different things (I was a fan of the stunt flying and road trips, personally). As someone who's played each of their betas for about a year, it kiiiinda sucks right now. But it's only hours after release. I'm sure big populated servers will emerge eventually.

This looks really dumb and almost unplayable... In other words I'm reinstalling Just Cause 2 right now.

I played the SHIT out of the multiplayer mod, and it was fucking awesome.

This trailer just continues to affirm that. It's almost like they are launching a whole new game without even making a new game itself.

Also, Just Cause 2 is still FUCKING GORGEOUS!

This is why modding is the best. Years after the game comes out this game is going to sell thousands more copies and get people talking about it again and it cost the devs $0. Wish more people in this industry would get their heads out of their asses and realize this.

@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".

I would watch an Unprofessional Friday that was dedicated, entirely, to this. Rotate which of the staff is playing it, to keep it fresh, but no other recent release is going to be as entertaining to watch.

Ah nice. I posted a a $5 link like an asshole. Deleted that post. Good find. There's no reason not to own this game for $3.

Beautiful.

Also I was THIS close to pulling the trigger on JC2 after the UF, glad I held off. $3 is ridiculous.

Does anyone know what the song playing in the trailer is? I'm a fan of generic trailer music, and that sounds awesome.

Are there copies that don't use Steam? I bought the disc retail version and that required Steam and came with a key.
