We have launched our new 2.0 Just Cause 2 Multiplayer Server in conjunction with the release of JC-MP 0.2.

There are a ton of new features, here are a few:

• Wingsuit.
• JetPack.
• Faction Hacker.
• Grenades.
• Better gamepad/controller  support.

Our Scavenger Hunt is also underway. This hunt’s prize is Microsoft Flight Simulator X:Steam Edition for the PC.

We have made the decision to rename our Just Cause 2 Multiplayer (JC-MP) server to “Gaveroid’s – Explore, Discover, Destroy!” Don’t be alarmed; the server will remain exactly as it is before. Although we are dropping “Scavenger Hunt” from the name in place of our new tagline, “Explore, Discover, Destroy!”, the scavenger hunt will remain a part of the server and will still be tended to – just not as the main focus.

Part of the reason for the name change is that our server has become much more than just a Scavenger Hunt. Players spend just as much time exploring the other things we have to offer like nuclear submarines, factions, etc., as they do the Scavenger Hunt, and since we have been adding and improving many new additions that don’t relate to the Scavenger Hunt, we feel that a name that generalizes the idea of our server would be more fitting. We chose “Explore, Discover, Destroy!” because we have many features for you to Explore, the Scavenger Hunt hidden object for you to Discover, and other faction bases, nuclear submarines, and more for you to Destroy.

Again, don’t be alarmed; even with the name change it will still be business as usual, and if you were intending to find the hidden object for the Scavenger Hunt you won’t be deprived of that fun and unique activity. The new name helps reflect on other things that make the server special as well, rather than solely focusing on the Scavenger Hunt. We hope you continue to have fun with the server and all of its’ future updates!

The summer period  has seen a decline in the number of players on the Just Cause 2 multiplayer server but that has not stopped me from adding a few new features.

The following features are for Steam Group members only. If you are not already a member go to http://steamcommunity.com/groups/gaveroid or search for and join the Gaveroid Steam Group in the Steam app.

Binoculars – Night vision binoculars with 500X zoom and a laser range finder. This is currently in beta but it should be released within the next week or so. I want to make sure it is working right as some of the camera calculations are a little complex.

Gestures – Allows you to taunt fellow players with a hand sign and some choice words. Type the following in chat:
/mf [optional text]  or /tf [optional text] or /wf [optional text]

The Scavenger Hunt is still underway. We have moved the location three times and still do not have a winner.
