1 :: About POSTAL 2: Share The Pain

1.1 :: Who's behind the game?

POSTAL 2: Share The Pain was made by the most dangerous videogame developer in the world: Running With Scissors! 

1.2 :: Wasn't multiplayer going to be free?

Well, yes. But unfortunately for Running With Scissors, the deal they had with the Whiptail Interactive was terminated due to a series of breaches they [Whiptail] made. Under these circumstances Running With Scissors couldn't afford a 600mb release on the internet so they had to move forward and publish the game on the own. The rest is history.

1.3 :: I bought Postal 2, do I have to buy Postal 2: Share The Pain?

You don't need to buy the new, standalone, product. There is an upgrade disk which costs $10 right from Running With Scissors store.

1.4 :: What are the differences between STP and Postal 2?

Multiplayer and improved performance.

1.5 :: What are the system requirements?

Same as Postal 2's, with the addition of internet connection (unless you don't want to play online!)

1.6 :: Is there a demo?

Yes. Download it here.

2 :: Compatibility

2.1 :: Can Postal 2 mods be used on Postal 2: Share The Pain? 

Some do, some don't. Some mods altered important files and since Postal 2: Share The Pain has new code, those mods are most likely not to work. Texture-mods, splash screens are quite possible to work, and the same goes for single player maps. You'll have to test them for yourself.

2.2 :: Do saved games from Postal 2 work on Postal 2: Share The Pain?

Yes, they work.

3 :: Gameplay

3.1 :: What multiplayer modes are available?

Postal 2: Share The Pain comes with the classic modes Dethmatch and Team Deathmatch, plus 2 brand new modes made by the irreverent minds at RWS, Grab and SNATCH!

3.2 :: What's SNATCH?

SNATCH is a mode that combines the basic elements of CTF (Capture The Flag) and adds sexy babes. Basically, you'll have to Snatch the other team's Postal Babe and bring it to your own bed. Sounds fun eh?

3.3 :: What's Grab?

In the Grab mode you must battle to collect all 10 bags and each bag makes you stronger.
