This is such a great game. I hadn't gotten to that island yet but it's going to be the next place I investigate.

Picked it up today, found an airbase with fighter planes and well, there was no stopping me from trying to steal firefox after that. Got into one, wound up taxing off the runway by mistake, then bailing on that and roping over to the one that was launching to catch me, ripped open the canopy and just yanked the dude out like he was nothing, took off and promptly crashed into a lear jet.
awesome.
I have started and abandoned a lot of cool Mercenaries-type games in recent times (Red Faction 2, Far Cry 2, The Saboteur, etc.) but this has held my interest longer than those and I will probably finish it. The grapple/parachute combo kicks ass, and being able to quickly fly to any village you have been to makes it a great game to pick up and play in short bursts. It's still forgettable in the story department but every aspect of the gameplay has been refined over the original.
This just got multiplayer added. I never finished it anyway so I'm reinstalling, but apparently it's just a giant free-for-all with everyone on the one island.
I'm not a big fan of multiplayer games anymore (largely because I tend to suck). But JC2 was one of my favorites of this gen, and multiplayer would be pretty damned cool. The island is huge, so one big free-for-all sounds interesting.
Is this an official patch, or that crazy mod that supports thousands of players?
Unofficial, but it seems to have some level of support from the real developers.
