JOINT OPS™: ESCALATION™ IS GOLD!

The big guns (and tanks, and choppers) join the fray – Nov 17th!

Calabasas, Ca (November 4th, 2004) – Entertainment software developer and publisher NovaLogic, Inc. is proud to announce that Joint Ops: Escalation, the expansion pack for the hit PC title, Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising has hit ‘Gold’ status and is in production.

The conflict in Indonesia has spilled over to other parts of Asia where rebel troops have gained support in the war against the newly reinforced Joint Ops forces. Set against a backdrop of South East Asia that includes Airports, Radar Tracking Stations and Rocket launch facilities, players enlist once more to take part in intense large scale modern FPS combat, in games of up to 150 players online.

As the battles shift to different locations, new vehicles enter the fray: Attack Choppers, Battle Tanks and Dirt Bikes make their debut to increase the modern combat frenzy that only Joint Ops can deliver. Players will also be able to make airborne insertions into hot zones via Parachute, take our enemy tanks with the Javelin anti-tank launcher and lay anti-vehicle mines to destroy enemy convoys.

Joint Ops: Escalation also features:

Optional Body Armor to increase survival in the field.
Clustered multiple capture points for instant action and enhanced CQB.
Optional 3rd Person view for vehicles.
New emplaced weaponry equipped with infra-red targeting for enhanced base defense.
Over 25 new maps, across 7 unique terrains, including new Co-Op and Training missions.

[-Tigger-]

The expansion is sweet i wish i could tell u guys but i cant lol, it makes the game more fun and realistic.. with a few hidden surprises :S.

I wont b getting it str8 away as im broke lol.

Ok , so this JO gold thing is an exp pack?
Then how come it is not released like other DF game EXP's.
JO is expensive enough and now you want us too go spend more money?I dont know what it's gonna cost , but nowing Novalogic , it will not be under 20 bucks.
You should have a standalone package for that , instead of a EXP pack.
I think Novalogic is scr*wing up this game , by selling the EXP

It'll be like Team Sabre was for Black Hawk Down. Almost an entirely new game, just building on the BHD foundation. I didn't think that was ruining BHD, but I agree, they need to be more in the $25 range. $30+ and it's not an expansion, it's a new chapter :P
