Hiya folks!
So I've just recently found that they implemented multiplayer into the modded version of JA2. It seems to be as straight forward as any other game i've played. You all join a hamachi server and input the I.P's and ports based on the hamachi server. Otherwise you can select the multiplayer mode right from the main menu (much easier then it's earlier stages of development)
Features:
-4 players
-coop
-death match
Now the question is: Who wants to play?
There isn't really a community based around this and I feel it's mainly just because there isn't any awareness for it. So I've noticed there's a decent amount of JA2 fans on here an thought I'd bring it up.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiX9HCrAsUo
Instructions:
1)Install JA2
2)Download and paste v1.13 4870 into install directory
3)Download and paste v1.13 4870 update into install directory
Link to fleshed out instructions and download links: http://ja2v113.pbworks.com/w/page/4218345/Installation
(for multiplayer)
4)download hamachi and set up (just go to youtube at this point...hehe...)
5)grab some E buds and enjoy?
But yeah, pretty standard stuff. It's only a shame that it took all of these years to implement something for the game, seemed a no brainer given the mechanics of the game. The modded multiplayer does have some quirks but from what i've heard is playable.
good day all!
