Joint Operations: Combined Arms Gold

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR FUTURE BUYERS DO NOT LET YOUTUBE VIDEOS MISGUIDE YOU this game is 98% about it's multiplayer and you can no longer make a new account to play. Meaning that if you didn't make a Nova World account back in the day this game is COMPLETELY USELESS to you. If you wish to experience the latest Nova Logic experience from back in the 2000s, get yourself Delta Force black hawk down and it's expansion.

[h1]READ THIS CAREFULLY. TOO MUCH TEXT ALERT[/h1] Alright. Let's see. [b]Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising (2004)[/b] is for sure the true [b]Novalogic's[/b] masterpiece. It is a multiplayer-focused military tactical shooter that is a mix of [b]Delta Force[/b] + [b]Comanche[/b] + [b]Armored Fist[/b]. It was one of the 1st [b]Battlefield's[/b] rivals back in the 2000's. Despite being focused on multiplayer which is the real experience of the game, it has a single player mode that is just like a traditional [b]Delta Force[/b] but you're able to use vehicles, aircrafts, and ships. To play it online officially you must have an account on [b]Novaworld[/b] (Novalogic's online platform), but the real problem with it is: [u]IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO CREATE NEW ACCOUNTS NOWADAYS, AND [b]THQ NORDIC[/b] and [b]EMBRACER GROUP[/b] (current owners of most of Novalogic's IPs) don't want to fix it, preventing new people to be able to play it which is a big shame[/u], but don't worry because there are a pair of alternative ways to play this game online nowadays: 1): You can replace the Novaworld lobby with [b]NovaHQ Heartbeat[/b]. There are few servers available on NHQ Lobby but I'll try to contact the server owners to use it. Go check NovaHQ website to find NHQ Heartbeat. 2): You can play the [b]Anniversary Revival Project[/b] which uses a very different alternative online platform, and the [b]Tactical Assault Coalition[/b] which is a [u]VERY GREAT MOD[/u] that modernizes the game by adding custom models with new animations, new sfx, improved stats for the weapons and vehicles, etc. This mod is the most notorious Revival Project's exclusive feature. In brief: [b]DON'T BUY THIS GAME UNLESS YOU ALREADY HAVE A NOVAWORLD ACCOUNT AND STILL ABLE TO LOG IN, OTHERWISE REPLACE THE NW LOBBY WITH NHQ HEARTBEAT, OR PLAY THE REVIVAL PROJECT[/b]. P.S: [strike]THQ Nordic GmbH and Embracer Group AB (previously THQ Nordic AB). With all due (dis)respect: both of you're backstabbing corrupt companies. You've ruinned the Novalogic's legacy by not saving it from its bankrupt, neither fixing Novaworld's account creation system, and selling the Delta Force IP to "certain evil company from China" for creating that fake DF full of gacha trash, Fortnite-like collabs and spyware"[/strike].
