Just Cause 2: This game is still awesome
Posts
Idol included a version that "just" cuts the prices down to 10% of the original. So you still need to pay some cash, but can call down any cool toys without problem.
It also staggers all the unlocks so that you get more and more fun toys to spawn in the further you progress in the game. It's this version of the mod that I personally use when I play.
EDIT:
JC2 Modpack Info:

OR
Just Cause 2 modpack v1.1
http://finalack.com/Idol/sr2/jc2_modpack_v1.1_IdolNinja.rar
The original has everything free and unlocked from the start. v1.1 was a request by Stormwatcher for setting all prices at 10% and also unlocks the extra black market stuff with chaos (game progression) instead of being all available right at the start like the original.
NOTE: You can probably just grab blackmarket.bin from either mod if you don't want the rest of the stuff.
Mod readme
This is just a collection of my favorite JC 2 mods I threw together for the Gentlemen of the Row PA SR2 group. It also contains some extensive tweaking (by me) of the zxz's Black Market Mod to try and make the package a better fit for a new game.

..\steam\steamapps\common\just cause 2\dropzone

v1.1 Changelog
Pricing adjusted for all agency vehicles and weapons at 10% of original vanilla cost
Pricing adjusted for all other vehicles. Most of them are now $1000 except some of the sports cars and military vehicles which are in the $2000-$4000 range)
Fixed chaos requirements so black market guns and vehicles now unlock correctly with game progression
changed chaos requirements for unlocking new sections of spawnable objects:
450,000 Chaos - Crates
500,000 Chaos - Rocks
550,000 Chaos - Blockades
600,000 Chaos - Other Objects
700,000 Chaos - Rockets
800,000 Chaos - Soldiers
900,000 Chaos - Explosives
1,000,000 Chaos - Turrets
1,100,000 Chaos - Faction Objects
1,200,000 Chaos - Panay Objects
Spawnable Section unlocks were staggered for two reasons:
1. So the player didn't have 100 unlocks happen at once and have to trudge through all of them on the PDA
2. The Black Market menu sorts first by chaos requirements and this was the easiest way to get all the misc stuff sorted at the bottom of the menu
NOTES:
The last spawnable section unlocks at 1,200,000 chaos which should happen right around 50% completion
Any DLC you do not own will show up in the black market as something like: "dlc text 14." Nothing will spawn if you try to purchase it (and don't own it.)
DLC Weapons and Vehicles show up twice in the menus. Once with the new lower price, and a second time with the expensive original pricing.
While the new cheap DLC menu items show as Level 1, you can see that they have exactly the same stats/parameters as Level 6. Don't waste any upgrade parts on them.

Cool. I was just about to ask for this. The agency should pay for all Rico's toys anyway. I just got the game as well as the DLC on gamersgate, so it'll be nice to have an unlimited supply of monster trucks.
Also, I had a question. Does anyone ever get random chaos when they play? For example I was base jumping off a tower and a random message said gas pump chaos and I had heat all of a sudden. It's not a big issue. I'm just wondering what could have caused it? I wasn't using any guns or grenades and I didn't ditch any rides. Another time I was flying for awhile and got a message about kills, but this could have been one of those messages just telling you of different achievements or stats throughout the game. I'm not sure.

Panauan government develops hovercraft technology. Scorpio blows it up.
I came across this glitch over the weekend. Why haven't more console games been released with a "capture video/upload to YouTube" feature? Did YouTube complain about all the incredible videos this game generated?

Ok, cool. Yeah I'm going with that one. I don't want to be spoiled all at once with cool stuff.
On a side note, is anyone else waiting for more keys from gamersgate? I bought some of the DLC last night and apparently they're out of keys and I'm still waiting today.
But how are gonna people sleep with no sheet?
And fuck my math is wrong, I meant that a HUNDRED credit thing will cost TEN credits.
They never released the tools or source or whatever they need to do seriously cool mods, did they?
edit: definately seems to have just dissapeared off the face of the earth. Which is a pity.

I'm sure he says it like that. Might have to play this today.
I would too. I read that the guys who developed it want to make another, but they don't own the rights.
Then call it Justifiable Action the Third, and set it on the awesome island shithole paradise of Panoo, and I'll buy a dozen.

They decided that JC2's engine just wasn't suitable for coop/netplay and abandoned the effort.
I'm not surprised that turned out to be the case, but they certainly gave it the old college try.

If Saints Row the Third can implement multiplayer co-op, I have faith that it can done in Just Cause 3: Cause Harder. Not saying that I have faith that game will ever be made, but that they could do it.
SR3, from what I could see, is basically the SR2 engine ported non-shittilly and gussied up a bit with higher res textures, new animations, and a less wonky random car/person generation system.
Given that JC2 wasn't designed for multiplayer, they'd either have to do some significant work to bring it in, or scrap most/all of it and rewrite it...
Basically, I'd love to see it happen, but until I see an announcement I wouldn't expect it to happen.
Or unless the announcement is far enough out that they're throwing out the JC2 engine entirely anyway because it's outdated tech.

Such a fucking pile of shit. Just Cause 2 does everything M2 tries to do, a does it a billion times better.
Mercs2 had coop, and coop is fun on almost any game, no matter how shitty, but other than that, it was crap, crap, crap, crap... And really fucking similar to JC2, now that I think of it. Exotic location, rebels and soldiers, two guns at a time, steal any and all vehicles, kill VIPs, find collectables.... They're almost the exact same laundry list of features and gameplay activities, only one was 100% shit, and the other was 100% awesome.

According to this they don't own the IP.
Avalanche founder and original concept creator of Just Cause Christofer Sundberg explained to Eurogamer that while the Stockholm-based studio does not own the Just Cause intellectual property, it remains intrinsically linked to it.
"I can't really comment on the future of Just Cause," he said, "but as we created the IP there is an attachment to the studio even though we don't own the IP."

Here's a screen I just took. I call it, "My wife gets home and realized I haven't done any laundry and instead played JC2 all day."
That exact thing happened to me back when the game came out, I was working freelance at home.
Plus, I also didn't do any work for pay.
It was complicated
