August 1, 200421 yr I went to EB yesterday and found a copy of joint ops for 5 bucks used. Considering that some other 6 year old games were still selling for 10 -12 used i thought this must be some sort of mistake. Lucky for me, the guy said that even if it was a mistake he is obligated to sell it to me at the stamped price. So low and behold I now own a copy of Joint Ops that i got for 5 bucks basically new.First ImpressionsOverall: A-Pros:OMG!!! ppl actually use teamwork, a lot! I must be having a wet dream!Intense, fun, HUGE, tactical battlesSolid net code and pretty efficient engine Lots of fun overallWonky vehicle physicsCons:No guns larger than a .50, the BTR gun doesnt count.APC's should not be the dominant vehicleAPC campingtoo littel variation in vehicle weaponsNot enough land vehiclesNo airplanesThere should be more Blackhawk variants, apaches, and hindswonky vehicle physicsland vehicles are pretty boring truth be toldThe sniper player model is pretty anemic looking and since there are a lot of snipers, sometimes this can detract from visual/visceral impact of battlesI know the cons outnumber the pros, but the pros OUTWEIGH the cons. Overall an awesome game, I just hope the expansions adds more in terms of weapons and vehiclesAfter More Playage...Revised Score: B+Reasons:I guess the lagless experience i had two nights ago was a fluke. Last night, I experienced heinous lag on all sorts of servers, and I know it wasnt my end that was causing the problem. At some points, I would lag teleport hundreds of meters away from my original position, at others, it was impossible to operate any helicopter mounted guns.

August 1, 200421 yr ya, think of it this way, theyre easier to learn the bfv, but they're easier to learn than bfv :-P (no satisfaction from driving thewm tjhat the people who felt they'd accomplished something_, also, if you havent patched the game yet, vehicles tend to act like bumber cars :-P

August 2, 200421 yr thats completely illeagal, they have to sell it to you at the advertised price on the box whoops my mistake, i meant that there is several copies of the game i want on the shelf, and right in front it would say $30 without the game name, just some barcode etc. so then i buy it and $50 comes up on the screen. :x its probaly just my stupidity or the shelf stocker's stupidity.
August 2, 200421 yr doesnt matter, if it says 30 bucks on the box, they MUST sell it to you for 30 bucks, and its worth a hell of a lot more than 5 bucks jerkov
August 2, 200421 yr doesnt matter, if it says 30 bucks on the box, they MUST sell it to you for 30 bucks, and its worth a hell of a lot more than 5 bucks jerkov I have JO Its just the type of game that you either love or hate.
August 2, 200421 yr want JO, but I'll need a better video card. I got a geforce 4 mx440, but my dad won't pay jack to upgrade the comp.. (cheeeeap) i was running it on a geforce 4 mx 440...youll be fine
August 3, 200421 yr this is not the games fault so much as novaworld's, they are fighting hard to keep up with steam's awfulness i guess :-p
August 3, 200421 yr Reasons: I guess the lagless experience i had two nights ago was a fluke. Last night, I experienced heinous lag on all sorts of servers, and I know it wasnt my end that was causing the problem. At some points, I would lag teleport hundreds of meters away from my original position, at others, it was impossible to operate any helicopter mounted guns. hmmmmmmmmmmm i have NEVER experienced ANY of these problems you have talked about. so i dunno what to you man. good days are good days. as so are bad. -G
August 3, 200421 yr Author I was just playing on the TAC server, the moment I got into a helicopter, it was a lag fest. At another point I expended 50 rounds of ammo before a single shot registered on a guy moving away from me at short range in a straight line, and yes, i was firing in bursts. Id say 75% of the time everything is fine and dandy, but that other 25% can be a real game wrecker.
August 3, 200421 yr Author Even PC Gamer knocked JO for lag. I guess those first couple servers I played on were flukes, because I went back to them hoping to regain some lag free play and much to my surprise they had become laggy as well
August 3, 200421 yr i have joint ops but i played it once didnt like it and never played again :Dhalf life for life.
