Are you getting Joint Ops on Tues.?

[goldenboi]

I just played the MP demo for like almost 2 hours straight! That game is awesome! 100 player server, baby! With a ping of 19! :E I admit that yes, it does have a few bugs, but that's what patches are for.

 

[Moto]

No.

It is just not quite right if you ask me. Plus, I noticed tons of bugs. One time, I landed a large helicopter right on the ocean...perfectly level on the water. When vehicles blow up, they get stuck in the air.

I won't buy this game. Not even if it gets a score above 8.0 on gamespot. I think it will get a score of 6 or 5 as in "Fair" or "Mediocre."

I think this was was of those games that looked like tons of other ones so I didn't even bother trying the demo... so no.

While I can't have the same amount of confidence as the last poster, I have to say it hasn't done anything to catch my attention. If it becomes a hit I'll start considering it though.

trust me
dont waste your time
brings nothing new to the table
if you're into mp fps' like that, play battlefield :rolling:

 

[ShinRa]

I will however be picking up UT2004....which shits all over joint ops.

 

[smwScott]

I personally think Battlefield sucks. It's filled to the brim with cockjockeys trying to kill their teammates for planes, which aren't very useful in the first place. The engine is complete crap, it doesn't look all that great and runs like s**t. The infantry combat is abysmal. The tank battles are pretty fun but for every 10 minutes you spend getting TKed, blown up by some asshole, or traveling to a choke point you spend 1 minute actually fighting. The game is a chore to play, and not fun at all.

Joint Ops fixes most of the problems. It has an overall better engine, bigger maps, and better netcode. Also, the way the game is set up forces teams to work together, and TKers aren't nearly as effective. It's a pretty fun game, especially compared to Battlefield.

 

[CrazyHarij]

maybe.. I got some money to spend

lets see what kind of reviews joint ops get compared to bf42.

im pretty sure you are the only person on earth who thinks bf42 sucks. that game ****ing rocks. if anything runs like shit, or takes time to get anywhere its the pile of shit known as joint ops.

 

[Warbie]

I think bf1942 sucks too

The beta for Joint Ops wasn't that impressive at all, which is why i'm so pleasantly suprised with the demo. It is significantly better in many areas (visuals, stability etc) So much so that my opinion has cahnged from 'crock of shite' to 'this is pretty neat' \o/

While not my type of game, Joint Ops is probably the closest you're gonna get to a decent online Flashpoint. Whatever your opinion, playing on a 100 player server is quite an experience.

 

[burnzie]

ok, im gona try the demo, seeing as im a big fan of BF1942...

downloading now...

Who cares about reviews? Some of my favorite games have gotten crappy reviews on websites. Reviews don't mean ****, it's just some geek who gives his opinion based on stuff like rather there's popup in the distance or he saw an artifact on a texture. I don't care about that stuff, it isn't important. The reviews are biased and completeley unreliable.

I don't understand how people can base their opinions of games from someone else. How would some dude from Gamespot giving this game a 3.5 or a 9.5 affect my opinion on this game?

 

[joule]

I'll be picking this one up, along with Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy for Xbox. Oh yes, Tuesday is indeed the best day of the week.

UT2k4: -fast-paced fragfest
-no foliage
-futuristic

-not much vehicular teamwork IMO 'cept tank, b/c who wants to shoot a slow, plasma rifle
-cool stunts
-Exterminix must have come b/c there are no bugs (twas lame )
-average/next gen gfx
-cool sound for futurism...

JointOps: -realsitic
-SWEET use of foliage
-pimp sound- you hear bullets whizzing and ricocheting if your shot at when hiding in grass
-vehicular teamwork
-buggy(can't wait for patch :E )
-average/next gen gfx

Overall, I think JointOps is loads better (just saaw POA :rolling: ) b/c I like the realism and all I've explained above. Plus I have UT2k4 and I got a coupon off the net, that says if I send in my receipt i get a $20 voucher to EB! And I did! So I'll be getting JointOps tomorrow... hopefully its like $29.99 so I only have to pay $9.99 :burp:

 

[B_MAN]

its an average game at best
it really didnt keep me hooked like a good game should
basically, its a battlefield game in disguise

 

[burnzie]

the only game i am not able to run smoothly on my comp.

Far Cry ran smooth with reasonable detail

Nfs underground ran smooth with everything maxed out

just about anything else to come out has ran just fine.

i think i may have died alittle inside today. tis the end of an era... ;(

 

[Shakermaker]

No Joint Ops for me, no way.

 

[Rico]

JO is pretty fun, I like the infantry combat a lot more in JO than in BF1942. The sound engine is also WAY better and so is the graphics engine. All I wish is that it had a more complete air arsenal but that would probably be in the final version anyways.

Based on the demo I'm definitely getting this game when I get money.

yep, these people let society decide what they like. sad really

 

[PvtRyan]

My opinion:

Novalogic shooters never were shooters, they were point and click games. You point at an enemy, you click, and you kill. That pretty much sums up the whole game. Weapons don't feel like real guns, they feel like laser weapons from the year 3499, no decent recoil at all. It's just *click click* at an enemy, and it's just the one that clicked sooner that wins. The game has an awful infantry feeling. That was never BF's strongest point either, but they really screwed up here.

Explosions look nice though.

Joint Ops has a horrible overall feeling. Multiplayer games are just one big mess with everybody running around and suddenly you die for no particular reason.

 

[Maxi]

I love it, the gameplay is really cool, not just your regular old "I have leet amining skillzor, i pwnz0r j00!!" In this game you need team tactics to win, you can't just play rambo, you die if you do. Also there is actual teamwork in this game too. I love it. I'll be getting it for sure!

 

[smwScott]

its a good indicater of whether or not a game is shit.

No it's not, it's a good indicator of what the reviewer thinks is shit. How would me and you debating which game is better be changed at all by what some guy at gamespot likes better? His opinion is no more valuable (less so in my opinion) than yours or mine.

I'll give you an example. Gaming sites have gone totally crazy over GTA. GTA is a great game, but these sites insist on comparing every game with cars and guns to GTA. When The Getaway came out, it had much better graphics, physics, environment, and on foot aspect than GTA. Even though there was a huge city, the game was predominately a third person shooter, with about 80% of the game taking place indoors/onfoot getting into firefights (a closer comparision is Max Payne, not GTA). The game is very different from GTA, not really similar at all, but they gave it in the upper 60% range because they didn't feel it was as good (IMO it was better because of the great cinematic story and action gameplay). They are completely unfair and often times get involved in fan hype, not exactly objective reviewers. Other times they are unnecessarily harsh on a game because fans got too hyped up over it.

Driver 3 will also probably get lower reviews than it should because those idiots want to compare it to GTA. Gaming sites are totally unreliable.

k but all thats just your opinion so it has no bearing on whether the games good or not, right? in my opinion gaming sites ARE reliable.

 

[Ceron]

The teamwork is excellent in the game. In BF 1942 you cant even walk in a big transport helicopter you hafto push a button to sit down or something, thats why Joint Operations is much more fun well afcourse you can also sit down but in some vehicles you have a choice. Yes it doesnt run so great on old computers because it requires alot of computer resources but i'll be getting it for sure!

 

[Direwolf]

Reality check: How old is Battlefield now? Of course the graphics and engine of Joint Ops is better! Its been able to learn from Battlefield.
As for reviews: Of course you shouldn't really trust anyone elses opinion. What you should look for in a review however is problems such as performance issues, bugs, controls, and other issues.

Well, my point was that Joint Ops also runs better than BF1942. Despite age difference that's quite a big advantage.

 

[CptStern]

I'll wait for the reviews

 

[RMachucaA]

you bet i am.

 

[Maxi]

Poked my mum about it, shes ordering it for me from play.ocm.

Haven't had a hiccup in Battlefield in the last year. As far as I've been able to tell their patches have pretty much ironed everything out.

 

[goldenboi]

But there's no foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooliage in BF!!It's no fun getting snied when the only thing your hiding behind is a hill!

Also, I have a 2600+ barton, 9800 pro, 512 ddr500.... the game runs like 25-53 fps... I mean Far Cry runs better than this. This is all on the default config, mind you.

 

[Direwolf]

I'd check in on that...its should be much higher for that rig. Likely some kind of a conflict somewhere. And when BF42 was made the idea of including foliage would have been scoffed at as impractical/impossible for any online game of its scope.
