Playing this online against dozens of humans, or in co-op against AI missions, this game is just tons of fun, and very high quality. Sure AI is a little stupid, but how else can you down 160 enemies, just you and your buddy -oh, and blow up their radar stations while you're there.

A Very Pleasant Surprise

I also played the Beta version of the game. The game was pretty innovative in its aspects. Graphics were pretty cool and realistic. The roving map was an interesting idea that was done right when such an idea could kill the game. The team game concept was done very well and this is coming from a guy who is usually the lone wolf when I usually play these types of games. The thought of aligning yourself with over 100 people online with one mission in mind will catch ANYONE'S attention. The feel of the game is very real and I got all this from the BETA version of the game. That means it can only get better from there. This is a must buy and a can't miss!

For the PRICE and the NAME of the maker you would expect more. This is an ONLINE game that ONLY works if you install the included SPYWHARE that sends your internet protection into spasums everytime you turn on your computer. If you played Black Hawk Down and thought that OH another title from the same people IT MUST BE GOOD well IT'S NOT!! IT SUCKS!! IT SUCKS!! NOVALOGIC should be ashamed for putting out such GARBAGE and THEN trying to SELL an expansion pack. WHAT does the expansion pack clean the BOREDOME! I think all the people who got RIPPED off on this game should express how the feel!

If you have bad internet connection, don't get it. If you like to drive vehicles or play in a huge 150-player war and have good interet connection, get it. Slightly better than B:1942. As simple as that.

Good but buggy and frequented by vegetables...

When people work together in this game it works really well and is quite enjoyable. However most of the time it consists of random conflict where noone listens or wants to use any strategy or as the title suggests "Joint Operations" ie combined arms warfare. Instead they treat it as a shoot-em-up and run around like headless chicken causing games to drag out and become infuriating as well as extremely boring. The unrealistic movement becomes almost nauseating: players frequently move and jump around ridiculously to avoid enemy fire...there is no "stamina" level to prevent this. The vehicle physics are appallingly bad (probably the worst I've ever encountered) and the vehicles themselves are not survivable (apart from APCs which are almost impossible to destroy with heavy machinguns but not rockets). Weaponry is not much use either. For example the Barrett M82 was designed to take out enemy APCs etc, yet in the game it can't destroy anything apart from soldiers.
Within a week of playing this you will be cursing "noob base-rapers" and "campers". The level of stupidity displayed by people is sometimes appalling...new players will simply NOT work together period. There is no in-game device to ensure teamwork so they make it an incredibly frustrating experience. With a good team which works together the game is great but the buggy physics, pathetic vehicles, and unrealistic weaponary RUIN it.

This is taking so long just to get to our house it's not funny I will never buy anything from this company again. It's now going on two months FROM THE TIME I put in the order and my son is very disappointed that he has to wait so long. They sent him the second half of the game so he can't play it until the first half gets here. That is why we are so upset with this company. And I was told that they would sent it over night which they didn't. So I would think twice before anyone else should order anything from this company. There all lies just to get you to buy from them.

This demo is really cool a world better than the beta test demo. I'm not going to say it's better that BFV or 1942, but I've heard it said a lot already. The demo is really smooth and Amazon is the cheapest place to get it. Just my 2 cents.

Novalogic has out done it this time! I have been a Novalogic fan for six years, and I have not seen anything as good as this.
The only thing I regret is that Amazon only gives you 5 stars to choose from. Keep up the good work!!!
