Loved this game a few years ago, its what got me into gaming

Thinking of whacking it on again, anyone still play it? Used to love the fantastic firefights, and gaining stats, weapons etc

its a cheat fest now mate, as with most of novalogic games

Yeah I played this, also played Joint Operations: Typhoon Raising. It used the same engine and had 100+ people per server multiplayer, some crazy fights with tracers flying everywhere. Was my main game before battlefield 2 came out.

Me and my mate used to hide in the bushes with binoculars spotting enemy snipers, then with the granade launchers ajustable sights you could pick them off from 700m away

Used to love bhd, got joint ops and the escalation expansion here, but havent played them in ages. Used to love planting satchel charges in the grass near roads and waiting for enemy personnel carriers to drive past, also great games for sniping in.

Ambushes were a fav of mine as well, picking the SAS skin and doing hit and run tactics and, like you said, satchel charges on the road

.

Fun game with a nice amount of different weapons.

Not sure. Used to like their delta force games. I remember playing the demo of one of them where it involved you taking out enemies from afar on a ridge somewhere. I sat there for 5 minutes shooting dots on my screen

They weren't amazing but they were good for their time

Looks nice, it could be good. And they are keeping the coop MP mode as well.

Despite the fact that the Delta Force series has the lamest AI ever.

Yeah the AI was lame, but it was a long time ago

Isn't the new Delta Force game a budget title? I hope not, not sure where I heard this or if its totally false.

Black Hawk Down was so fun. Never played MP but SP was awesome. I loved the fact you could run at normal speed whilst aiming as it felt more like a real special forces soldier; you won't see them taking a building slowly and aiming, or quickly and firing from the hip! The one hit kill was nice as well made it more fast paced.

The expansion pack was hard!

damn it was, i completed the orignal sp quite easily but expansion was challenging, not even sure if i finished it

Great game and really enjoyed it, along with FarCry and Bioshock the only FPS games I have enjoyed.... awesome film too!

That is quite an achievment imo

We had several squads throughout the DF series

Viper Squadron (Original DFHQ) owned by Panther Now called http://www.novahq.net/
Grave Raiders
And Team FRICTION
Good old days i must say, gaming isnt the same now or maybe im just getting old.

I just installed Joint Operations for the first time in years but for some reason it's not letting me chose a resolution over 1280x768 or something...
Is it possible to get it to play at 1920x1080?
