Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising

[Iron Sauron]

This game is the definition of 1337needsteamworkh4x.

Im not going into the weapons, vehicles and player skins-there is alot.

The Assault and Secure game mode plays out like Medina Ridge(its good though!)

I recomend it to all who like BF.

hmm i like bf alot but do i have the money...no acutally not (godsmack cd burned my cash :( )

[Iron Sauron]

OH, i forgot to mention 3 things.

1-smoothness. This game was programmed so that no matter what your connection speed. (cable, DSL, 56k) you can play smoothly-and it does.
2-server size. Up to 150 players on maps than can be up to 50 square kilometers........'nuff said.
3-variety. the shear amount of weapons and such is soooo cool.


I'm not asking(cause we ask a bit to much here anyway) but a VSF Joint Ops server would own.

Best mode: Advance & Secure
Close second: Coop

I heard about this game a while back and dismissed it. But now I am starting to think it may be pretty cool. I am downloading the multiplayer demo, it would be great if some other VSFer's wanted to try it out.

What is steamwork? :P

Game sounds interesting but I question your claim (in a later post) that the game plays smoothly and at the same time the server can host 150 clients. It is a simple fact of networking that you cannot have it all. If the network is going to put data for 100+ other entities that are in your vision, then your machine will have to process that info. That takes time and bandwidth. Both of which are limited. Unless the graphics are The Suck (tm), in which case the game just won't sell because of competition. I don't think this is the case...

What are the h/w requirements?

Well, Dawg, if it puts your mind at rest, this is exactly what I thought, based on what I saw in the demo.

BF is the woman you keep going back to, the others are the distractions that keep disappointing you.

Yes. Indeed.
