The multiplayer mod for Just Cause 3 has been put into permanent standstill, with one of the core developers being recruited to work at Avalanche Studios.

Cameron Foote, the lead developer on the team working on the multiplayer mod for Just Cause 3, wrote that he was “approached with an offer I couldn’t refuse”. “As part of [Avalanche Studios, makers of Just Cause 3], I’ll be able to bring many of the things you know and love from JC2-MP into future Avalanche experiences, while reaching heights that a mere mod couldn’t facilitate,” Foote wrote.
Unfortunately his hiring, as well as a lack of time on the part of the other contributors, means that development on a multiplayer mod for Just Cause 3 is being stopped indefinitely.
“We will still be maintaining JC2-MP where appropriate – while we’re not actively adding new features, we will fix bugs, maintain stability, and ensure that JC2-MP remains a quality experience for players present and future.”
Just Cause 3’s game director Roland Lesterlin told me last year that Avalanche couldn’t officially support a multiplayer mod, but they “certainly wouldn’t be closed door” if modders wanted to make one. And they surely must have known one was in the works, given the success of the same creation for Just Cause 2.
The hiring means it’s pretty likely that we’ll see an official multiplayer version of JC3 in the future, as opposed to an unofficial one. The game should have a good resurgence in interest once that happens; hopefully it’s not too long away. (I do wonder how nice the explosions will be on a GTX 1070/1080, though.)

I know journalism is hard and all but it you are going to fish reddit for stories but this isn’t the only Just Cause 3 multi-player mod. https://community.nanos.io/index.php?/topic/169-development-blog-week-29/
You know, if you posted this without the sarcastic insult it’d be far better received and more people would pay attention to your link.
Instead you just look like an arse.
Ah well 🙂
So, what methods did you use to gauge how well received the comment was and how many people paid attention to the link?
Please post all relevant documentation supporting your statement.
No need, unless you are a moron the comment is self explanatory i.e. an unnecessary insult, ostensibly he is an ass.
There is a need.
A specific claim was made including reference to measures.
Those measures should be supported or the comment is invalid.
Okaayyyyy, why try to justify a smart arse remark?
Seeing as you are somewhat serious (lol), just looking at the stats in this thread that’s 2 out of three people that think it is an asshat comment. So the majority hold the argument against the offending comment. Case closed 😉
Oh the irony
Generalisations don’t count
As someone who just got a GTX 1070, I can confirm that the explosions are quite nice 🙂
