BF2S Forums BF2 v Joint Ops - Opinions please

To lazy to find this elsewhere but...

Min sys specs for tha previously mentioned game?

Bit sad my first experience of an online community was BF2's buggy, unfinished ect. ect.... BALANCING THE

GAME CANT BE THAT HARD!

Joint ops is good, but be prepared to be killed from range a lot - combat takes place at a much greater range in JO than it does in BF2.

dont even go there its pants

Fantastic reasoning given there. Have you even played the game?

yep i bought it
used to play BHD loads so at the time liked novalogic games.
got joint ops on release day. spent 10-15 hours on it cant remember exact timings,
hated every minute of it.
stupidly i also bought deltaforce xtreme.
have now seen the light and keep away from nova games.

btw it also took about a year for them to patch it to sort out all the issues that were there on release, so i would stay with EA if i was you. at least they are trying to get it right.

I play JO in a clan and BF2 for fun and like both. I think BF2 is the 'arcade' game where the result depends heavily on how fast you can get a tank/plane/helo and the stats and squads are nice, while JO is mainly an infantry game but great in playing with others clans. Also there are more game styles (TDM, DM, TKOTH, AAS) while in BF2 there is just AAS.

Right, the rounds in BF2 are WAY to short.  JO was so fun and it lasted forever.  I remember playing it, going to bed, waking up, and rejoining the same map still fighting the same battle FTW.  I liked the day night cycles, and the ability to work as a team simply because you had the time to do it properly.

Cheers folks, maybe I'll just wait on till Friday and get the Euro Force pack - damn my impatience. Its a pity that bf2 can only handle 64 players (well handle might not be the best term) it would rock like hell with tons of players per side but on the bright side mmofps are probably only 3-5 years away - just imagine 200 players a side all moaning like f*ck about the AA . If fact how cool will it be when there are 3 or 4 sides. Loads of jets and choppers and tanks and sharks with friken laser beams - woohoo

i'm away to lie down now

PlanetSide is an MMOFPS, never played it but it's been out for around 3 years now I think.

PlanetSide is exactly that. It was pretty good 2 years ago or so when I played it, not many balancing issues, every kit could "win" and every kit had negatives and positives for it.

ex: the "mech" looking suits could lay down fire like noones buinsess but they also couldn't move fast at all so they got owned by light infantry all the time.

Anti-Air "mechs" (I forget what they were called) could demolish fighter planes and transports but didn't stand a chance at taking out other mechs or infantry.... so you had to decide based on what you thought you would be running into.

really an awesome game. and thats where BF2 got the idea for unlocks. In planetside you get a certain number of "unlock" points spread across skills, weapons, driver abilities.... it really was an awesome game, but it had sever lag issues

maybe I'll go check it out again. hopefully they haven't implemented the PKM in it yet
