[-=SergeanT^J=-]

i just heard at www.typhoon-rising.com that they had intevued a nl.... he said there will be new wepons..but he cant say which yet.. but he sad it would be some new cool rifles:)

[FH-Crippler]

enter the 300 tact...only gun with a 48X scope for those who truly suck

[-=SergeanT^J=-]

300 takt??? what da hell does that mean?

[Kasrkin]

I believe he's pointing out the dumbing down of the game even more because Nova have bowed down to public demand. So he's suggesting why not add the ultimate n00b weapon.

Ah wait til we get our hands on it, it won't be dumbed down then ;)

I am bit confused, if you all wanted it this why are you now saying that nova is dumbing down the game?

I only complain about the bugs and stupid dediceated support but thats about it the content of the game is game developers choice i don't complain much about that, but many people did and now people are complaining that NL acknowledged thier complaint and done something about it, dam it people do you ever stop?

[Kasrkin]

I never said I objected to the dumbing down. I welcome the new changes, means more stuff for me to modify and give to you guys. I was merely pointing out what he meant.

Anyway...tanks, w00t! Now we're gettting to a real war!

[Proud Gamer]

Hm, one more thing they need to do though, is to totally change the
controls system.
I mean, if abram's are going to run around like the armored vehicles
and jeeps in JO:TR, I won't buy it.
I hope Nova have a sulotion, and a demo to release.

[Kasrkin]

Hope they have the driver/gunner combination. And the speed needs to be quite low too for tanks.

[EliteDrunk-VD-]

driver/gunner would suck, for obvious reasons.
and changing the controls of the game would just be like saying to everyone that likes the controls (about everyone that plays)
to jsut get bent and not buy the game.:mad:

[Kasrkin]

Actually the reasons aren't obvious at all. I think driver/gunner is the best way to go. Teamwork and realism. Sure we'd get a lot of idiots who don't like teamwork and all but hey, let 'em rot.

300. TACTICAL its a sniper rifle it appears in BHD.

[Proud Gamer]

I belive that the servers would have even more teamwork if they
A) Remake the vehicle control so they aint so fast in heavy terrain.
B) Delete the "SHIFT-NUMBER" combo that make's you switch seat's very fast.
C) Figure out totally new way's to make people work as a team.

Some good news. We get the G36! Taken from Typhoon-Rising.com :

Novalogic has gone live with their Escalation website! You can view this new website at this link (http://www.novalogic.com/games.asp?GameKey=JOE).

Summary of new features shown on the website:

- The conflict in Indonesia has spilled over to other parts of Asia where rebel troops have gained support in the war against Joint Ops Forces. Set against the lush backdrop of South East Asia.
- New fast attack helicopters
- Jump on board a Chinook and parachute into enemy territory, diving for cover on impact to prevent detection
- Use dirt bikes to negotiate rough terrain
- Steer combat tanks into the enemy camp, using brute force to take out main defenses
- Added body armor improves your chances of survival
- Improved sniper counter measures (edit: do they mean the body armor?)
- The enhanced player damage model means that you may just have enough time to dive for cover to survive.
- 44 weapons (including the G-36 assault rifle, MP7 sub machine gun, and semi-automatic MK23)
- 25 new multiplayer levels
- Fight for control & ultimate domination of new maps ranging from an abandoned strip mine and civilian airport, to a chemical weapons factory and rocket launching facility. Expect new co-op missions too!

[Patriot .se.]

*sigh* no roping.

[Kasrkin]

Is that 44 weapons with or without the ones already included?

[Nightsmurf]

id say with the ones alread...they didnt say "44 NEW weapons" they ust sed "44 weapons"

[Kasrkin]

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Also, does those new weapons include the ones found on the vehicles. They are sneaky like that.

[SlipperyJim]

We need to look up how many original weapons there were and subtract from 44.

[Collateral]

Ok, if they really want to do it right, heres what nova does:
The tanks have a Driver, Gunner, Loader, and Optional guy that sits on top of the thing with M60 and whatnot.
The loader gets to choose from anti personal and armor peircing shots... Poor loader, though, he gets the lame job. (The difference beetween AA and AP is like a nade launcher and automatic weapon... x100 ;) )

[Kasrkin]

Nah, you'd need to have the Driver, Gunner and Commander. Like in Op Flash. Much better. And the commander can shoot from his pintle-mounted weapon.

[SlipperyJim]

Someone posted this in NovaWorld forums:

In total there will be 9 new weapons, JOE will have 44 weapons. These will include the original weapons from JOTR wich has 35 weapons. 44-35=9

[monkeyspunk]

will it have a G3????

[SlipperyJim]

Yes a H&K G36

[Kasrkin]

See, I thought that 44 weapons would include it. Total BS. Only paying for 9 new weapons and some of those may be the stuff on the vehicles. They need to stipulate that it's 44 weapons including the ones found in TR.

Haven't heard anything about the inclusion of the G3 rifle, but as SlipperyJim said it will have the G36. Not the same weapon I know. I personally would prefer to have the G3 than the G36 as it's seen more active service.

[Prisoner_SS]

yeah :\ they should have put roping in

[Kasrkin]

Actually we just found out that roping was planned for the original JO. They actually made the animations for people roping (i.e. from a helo). They just took it out of the final game for some reason.

(Note: Anyone remember seeing the original teasers for JO and had people getting into the vehicles properly? Well we're trying to put those back in for the realism mod ;) )

[ironcurtain]

The MP7 will most likely ignore extra armor

I want my bizon sub machine gun though!

[Uncl3 Tantric]

kewl

[Kasrkin]

Why would the MP7 ignore extra armour? It's a piddly little thing. It's full name is the MP7 - PDW (Personal Defense Weapon). It's made by Hecklar and Koch (so it is in the same family as the MP5) and is pretty much an automatic handgun with some extra bells and whistles. Nothing more.

[Patriot .se.]

ES1.Kasrkin are you serious? I didn't know that they had even worked on it at all. I'm disappointed that they took it out of the original game but hopefully they include it in the expansion pack. I'm a big fan of COOP games because I like working as a team to complete set objectives so I'm excited about new COOP maps because right now I have all the Nova made maps down. If they decide to put fast roping from helicopters in the expansion pack that would be sweet! C'mon Novalogic

[Kasrkin]

All we've found is animations put in for roping. Not sure if this is for jumping out of helos or absailing down buildings or cliff faces...

Guess we'll just have to wait and see

[Deathwish99]

That would be good to have in JO. And ya Karskin said they already have the animations down and im sure they can do it. Like everyone else I hope they put it in...But what im glad to see is the parachutes. Itd be very cool if they made like a C130 (of course theyd have to lenghten there maps which nova probably wouldnt do)...I guess we can only wait and see. I hope its a button that you push for fast roping so then it dropps rope and teammates can slide out...:) But if nova doesnt put it in...theres always mods.:):):)

[can2004]

does anybody know when they will start beta testin? I already signed up and I want to play asap, haha..!

[can2004]

oh and another idea...

Have multiple levels of play...

Beginner - easy to control, no need for elevation...

Intermediate... harder

Advance - harddest... big apc can't get through 3foot wide corridors really fast. increased realism in balistics... and so on
