![]() ![]() A mountain near Kampung Enor Bengkok in Panau’s desert has a steeper incline. 1,500m – The highest point on land is not the location for the game’s longest land-based freefall.Only 160 players have accomplished this feat. It can be flown up to the limit of the game world for a truly record-breaking freefall. 6,800m – The highest possible base jump in the game is not from land, but from one of the many Easter Eggs…the hot air balloon.570,329,383 meters – The combined height of each player’s highest base jump is roughly 14 times the circumference of the Earth, or the equivalent of freefalling from the moon one and a half times.Over 15,500 player have clock in over 50 hours playing the game with one player spending 1,100 hours, or 45 days, on Panau Island.This is equal to around 1.1 million days of play time…Just a little under 3,000 years! In the six months since release, players of Just Cause 2 have racked up a total game time of 26,118,470 hours.Like, seriously, hijacking the hot air balloon and base jumping 6500 meters? That’s just fun. I have to admit that even though I wasn’t a fan of the game’s storyline and cinematics when it came out in March, and I thought the parachute travel mechanics were frustrating, these stats kind of want me to pick up Just Cause 2 to try some of this stuff out. That’s over 45 days, people, in just six months. ![]() Some gamers have relished the freedom that Just Cause 2 gives them, including one gamer who has played for over 1,100 hours. Avalanche Studios, the makers of Just Cause 2 released some really amazing stats collected over the six months since the game has been out. The open world game Just Cause 2 offers the fictional island nation of Panau as a sandbox for players to jump out of planes, hijack military vehicles and generally wreak havoc by blowing installations and killing criminals. Rico can also simply float around using his parachute, but this method is slow and boring, which only adds to the burden of long travel times.Just Cause 2 has inspired some amazing feats including the deaths of 1.5 billion soldiers and 26 million hours of play time. Bikes are a bit better, offering better speeds and added maneuverability. The vehicle handling is very loose, so traveling by car is often not a very good idea. As mentioned earlier, the missions are very spread out, so travel time takes up a large portion of the game hours. Often, it is actually a good idea to cause some trouble so that the military sends a helicopter – which you can hijack – and then travel much faster to your destination than by any other method. ![]() The AI isn’t very bright, they will simply get within range and unload clips into the player, taking no effort to take cover and simply back away slowly if you approach for a melee kill. However, given the grappling hook, it is often very easy to escape and lose the line of sight, which is all that’s required. Once you shoot enough military members, bigger and better enemies will be sent your way. Just Cause 2 features a criminal heat system similar to other titles (GTA4 once again comes to mind). The shooting mechanics feel unpolished, but this is in line with the original game, so players shouldn’t expect precise and fluid controls. The switching between these setups is a bit clunky at first, but players should be able to get used to it. Rico can either wield the primary weapon, dual-wield the secondary weapons or wield only one secondary weapon and use his free hand for grenade throwing. There are three weapon slots, one for a primary weapon and two for secondary weapons. Aside from Rico’s grappling hook, Just Cause 2 offers a wide variety of weapons and targets to shoot at. ![]()
