Title: Joint Operations Server up....
Post by: Maniac on July 05, 2004, 11:18:01 AM
Hey all.

I hope you all catched the demo for Joint Operations! i played the demo for a week and then i had to go out and buy the full version...

Its the online version of the "Delta Force" Series. Up too 150 plrs without lag issues...

Very Very fun indeed!

You can find the demo here : http://download.nvidia.com/downloads/nZone/demos/joint_operations_tr_demo.exe

Anyway, i have a Joint Ops server running today, to log in and shoot your fellow flightsimmers (AGW and Checksix crowd too)
then do the following :

Choose the International Novalogic Zone
Look for a Host named : WarBirds
Use the password : Aceshigh

Im on a fairly good computer with 8MB D/L 2MB U/L connection.

Hope to see ya there :)

P.S The server runs the FULL version of JO (with the latest patches)

It be up untill i go to sleep!

I djust killed Udie!!! :D

Im off to eat now but the server is up... if you dont find it in the server list later then its probably due to a server restart (changing settings etc)

I bought it. Was hoping for more variety in levels. Seems they are all FarCry style.... outdoor jungle island bases. Not to mention the maps are super crowded. I'll be selling this one.

The maps rotate sides-you play one round as Joint-ops,the next as rebels.The rebels defintely get AK-47's,and I'm pretty sure you have that options as a joint-ops guy.

Thanks for the link Maniac. I'm enjoying the demo version, but I found alot of guys playing it who also own the retail version. Alot of them mentioned that they went BACK to the demo and retail just isn't really worth it. I'm not sure now wether to buy it or not.

Who can tell me if it is better or if it will be money wasted?

It is worth it to me, and I buy a new game every couple of years.

Other than new maps, what's better about it? (Granted, the same old island map got old kinda fast, but is there anything else to it?)

Thanks.

Not really.  If you are happy with the one map and online play only, there isn't a big dif.  FPS is a tad better, maps and missions are nice.

Thanks for the info!

Post by: Kanth on July 05, 2004, 10:14:58 PM
for me the demo was pretty near the unplayable side in Frame rates..

but I had heard that the Retail version was actually better from Octavious so I purchased it and it was better and made the game more enjoyable because of that.

having more maps and playing co-op is nice as well.

Maniac,

   Thanks for hosting the game today.    Kaboom and I had a good time.  I have to say tho, I have never played Co-op before so it was a little differint for me.   Normaly, the only help I get online is from Kaboom.     It was pretty cool having 6 guys that Wanted to work together on my side.   As much as I enjoy the game and see the potential in it,  The game only really shines when a group of  people work together to secure the objectives.  With that said,  I have a dedicated teamspeak server up and running that was used for my Call of Duty clan.    The Clan is now defunct, but the TS server is still running.  If you all want to get together sometime we can use TS for Voice comms.    Let me know if that sounds like a good plan to you all.

I've been playing the demo for the last couple of days, will buy the full blown version tomorrow.  See you guys there!

Joint ops is just an amazing game.  I'm always a combat transporter usually flying the Little Bird with benches on the side ala Black Hawk Down.  It's so awesome when you get 4 guys sitting on the benches to your left and right giving cover fire as you fly behind enemy territory at 100ft.  The scenery is amazing and the water effects are unreal.  Go underwater and look up or towards land, it looks just like real life.

If anyone wants to start a squad let me know, I'm game.

I saw a improvement in performance in the full version vs the demo... other than that you get accesss to all the maps (plenty of maps) and more online servers that you can play on...

Everyone thinking about buying this game really should try the demo.. Basically thats what you get with extras...

Fist Co-op for me too, sorry that i missed you guys.. a friend came over and he wouldnt leave no matter what...

Co-op was fun, but if we get around 10 plrs (we were 8 at one time yesterday not counting you two) then maybe we should try some deathmatch and king of the hill as well?

Perhaps if we play on the same server in the beggining then a spinnoff would be to start a squad and then kick some arse on other servers as a team/squad.

I will host today again... i hope theres wasnt that much lag and stuff...

Delta Force games rock.. I play a few of them all the time.. Have been playing Land Warrior for a long time and Black Hawk Down for several months.. All the games in the Delta Force series have been really good. I only play them online as I have never finished the off-line game in any version of them.. hehe
