Just Cause 2

The grapple doesnt seem to work properly with the default button on the 360 pad when I try and play this (SP)
:confused:

Can anyone help, it's a really weird problem?

On the default layout the LB which should fire the grapple/hookshot does absolutely nothing. Yet if I switch the fire buttons to the bumpers instead of the triggers in the settings then LB throws a grenade just fine and the trigger fires the grapple. I'd rather use the the pad on the default layout.

It was this issue that stopped me playing the game before :(

If I have time later I will try and see if the problem is replicated with me.

I played this today....pretty fun but is there going to be goals and missions in final mod? Just seemed a bit pointless...

Pretty much what I was thinking.

I made myself some goals last night, for a while I was escorting a 747 in a fighter. Attacking an offshore oil rig loaded with people in a fighter jet. I finished the night rescuing people that were stranded in the ocean with no boat by flying over them as slow as I could in the plane with the propeller. Took a few passes for them to realise what I was doing :-)
 
I can't get this to launch :S I've downloaded the latest patch, the launcher and input the ip but when i click launch it just says its already launched and to try again? I've tried running things as admin and checked the launch options are empty but nothing happens. Help?
 
i'm obviously a lot better at driving in this game than i thought. somehow i managed to outrun a guy in a humvee when i was in the troop carrying truck. i would have taken him down but when i hit him at high speed my truck flew a hundred feet in the air and was spinning at least 5 times a second
 
I enjoyed playing it over the weekend, didn't think I would as I didn't like Just Cause 2 single player. But as brainless anarchy goes it's great.

Really don't like the handling of vehicles though, the cars feel rubbish and no rudder control in planes is dumb beyond belief.

they are truly dreadful. what i hate the most is that if you slam on the brakes you will instantly turn the car sideways, usually to the opposite way you want to go. i also wish they had helicopter handling like it is in the realistic flying and driving mod for GTA IV, that was properly awesome for a game of GTAIV's type

Exactly, it's always like this with these games. They try to add so much that in the end none of it is as polished as you'd expect or like.

Personally, I would have concentrated on getting the vehicle handling correct before adding the 300th pretty mountain or island. It's a case of style of substance and exactly why I didn't enjoy the single player.

Admittedly I can overlook these problems (just) when I'm flying a jet fighter over an offshore oil rig packed with 200 other players waiting to be lit up.

I would think that the graphics artists within the dev team had next to no input into how the vehicles drive & that they probably choose the control scheme as a design choice rather than not implementing it properly, controls are a very contentious thing whats right for one man is rarely going to be right for the next hence why the majority of games allow customization of controls.
 
i cant find the JC2-MP thread but it turns out they're doing another beta test right now. soooooooo ****ed off that i wont make it to my PC until its over:(
 
Hey wondering if anyone can help me, whenever I try and play I keep getting random lock ups after about half an hour or so which is really frustrating. Anyone know of a solution? PC spec is 2500k and a 7850 with 12.8 drivers if that helps
 
Just a heads up (as per other thread earlier today)

Had an awesome time on JC2-MP last night, just couldn't stop playing and I don't think I've laughed so much in a gaming session as I did last night.

The game is perfect for this mod, so much open space but with the ability to teleport if u want, loads a vehicles, the grappling hook, the races and derby's... The list goes on. I think I spent most of my time at the main airport, there was so much chaos it was like heathrow on crack.

Epic fun and can't wait for the next beta session.
 
Installed JC2 again this morning, gonna have to either start from scratch or find a savegame to download though! Gutted I missed out on the multiplayer beta :(
 
The multiplayer beta was superb. As neoglow said this game is perfect for thousands of people just messing about in the open space. Spotted 2 jets crash head on and it looked epic!
