Joint operations

Post by wautd »

I downloaded the multiplayer demo and im hooked. REALLY hooked.

What is it? Well, think of Far Cry but with 100 players (more or less). Huge maps with trees, grass, towns, bunkers, mountains,... 2 teams (or more) that need to conquer bases scattered at the map. Use of vehicles like trucks, patrol boats, buggies, helicopters,....

(needless to say you need a tough pc)

I think it's horrid. Nowhere near Far Cry graphics or game play.

:wtf:

maybe you played a custom made map because i cant believe you say that about the official demo map

or maybe you use lower graphic settings (i noticed there is a huge difference between medium and high)

or maybe your talking about another game :?

I played the game, and basically did not enjoy it. It usually takes me a long time to run up anywhere to try and kill one enemy, or attempt to capture a spawn point, and then I am suddenly shot out of nowhere. There is nothing else really to do except shoot snipers or be shot by them. I know I was playing idiotically in the game, but I can't really control to do anything else. I found it to be to crowded on the demo island, where you would be nailed by stationary guns, or sunk from copters on the water. The game just didn't appeal to me.

I was a big fan of Delta Force 1 when it came out. it had shitty graphics, you could fire an M249 while running and get precise hits on 1.5km etc.

But it was actually one of the first games that used massive terrains.

Novalogic is a good company, however I didn't like the Joint Ops much because of horrid and sick game requirments. On my Ahtlon 2000XP+, 512mb ddr and Radeon 9500 softmodded I could barely play even on lowest settings.
