Hi all.. Just giving a heads up incase some of you guys play JO..

My group I play with just got a new 64player server up on the NorthAmerican games.. Server name is AOM.. The server is set as a tdm server atm with just a few of the best stock maps.. Custom maps to come. Lots of fun to be had in a friendly environment! Stats are tracked by ambo stats. So, bring your friends for the killing! 8)

Last night was our first night up and reached almost 20 peps.. lol I hope for it to start filling up soon! So, come join the fun!

I was considering buying this game and the expansion. Do a lot of people still play it?

Why when BF2 is out?

Sure it is maybe a touch more realistic, but the vehicle combat is just garbage.

Yeah my Joint ops is on the shelf for awhile. Bought the expansion for it too and gotta say I enjoy the original game more than the expansion, picked it up for 14 bucks though so no biggie. Get BF2 or wait for the 1st patch to fix some problems.

The expansion isn't all that.. I have it but don't play it..

Yes, still many peps playing JO..

BF2 was released last week I believe.. But its not the game JO is.. 8)

JO is boring, I picked it up and then got the expansion, thinking the tanks would be better then in BFV, since it seemed like they were going for more realism.

Boy was I wrong, LAME. Lamer then BFV and thats saying something.

And no way is JO even close to as good of a game for fun as BF2.

The comander system in BF2 alone makes JO look like a sad joke.

But hey if you like it have fun, if thats possible.

The reason I ask is because I'm sitting only on a 64 meg video card with no real choice to update it.

So BF2 is out.

It is a great game for sniping, dont take the base 308 one though. There is a more powerfull bolt gun, you can take head shots at really long distances, like they have no chance to shoot back.

Sniping was fun, the rest was pretty lame.

Great, now I'm not so sure about what to do.

dont play if for the vehicles as they are pretty much just lame.. JO is a first person shooter meaning the game is built around the foot soilder. Thats whats fun to me, the gun battles.. 1-1 shooting or 10-10 shooting.. lol driving a tank, mobile pillbox, or the like against peps playing on foot is akin to sitting for hours in a manned 5inch gun.. just lame and certainly not very sporting..

I can understand one not having fun playing JO alone.. If I had to play alone i'd prolly loose interest too.. lol It is a team oriented game.. For certain the game rules with a couple of good folks running with you... Thats what the game is all about.. I'm lucky enough that we have about 20-25 peps in my squad that play JO.. Pretty much makes it fun all the time.. lol

Our server will be open to anyone that would like to play.. I doubt anyone would be able to shoot with us (forawhile), but I promise if you enjoy the game, you'll enjoy our server and get a good set of fundamentals from playing with and against us.. 8)

lol I like snipers too.. They pad my kill scores.. 8)

Your talking about the L115 here.. I think thats the name.. Prolly the best sniper rifle in the game.. But again.. sniper are nothing more than targets.. lol Even when they are hiding well in the grass or good cover, you can still see the muzzle flash and find them.. like I said.. targets.. lol

I enjoyed playing JO but just uninstalled it because I haven't played in a long time....I personally like being able to fly in on a Blackhawk or Little bird carrying strike troops and keep ferrying those guys in and out. It makes it fun avoiding the other helo gunships and stinger carrying lurkers at the bases.

lol ya.. I enjoy flying the choppers as well.. good stuff and certainly needed on some of the maps.. Its great to actually make a stinger miss by flying behind a hillside or something.. thats always a blast! lol

Well, I bought the game, even though I probably don't have enough money.

I have to say, I'm really dissapointed by the type of gameplay all around. Strafe whoring, MG toting, dweebiness all around.

No one sits still to take a shot. All they do is run back and forth spamming up an auto relying on luck rather than skill.

No one goes for cover. No one tries to use cover.

Hell, no one uses any teamplay. I have yet to meet a single person online with an IQ over 20. And I'm not exhaggerating about that. People fly helos that swerve all over the place. I CAN'T GET A SHOT OFF IF YOU ARE CHANGING DIRECTIONS EVERY HALF SECOND!

I thought that Muppetland would be my respite from all of this. A bunch of intelligent people playing smartly and using tactics.

It wasn't.

The game is going back tomorrow morning.

Just retired my JO discs with BF2. BF2 is everything JO tried to do but done so much better. The Chinese maps with the swamp and fog are JO meets 2005 maps. Once the damage model in BF2 is corrected this will be the game to own.. no more AA and JO for me....
