    i have it.. it reminds me a little of DC for bf42.. its a good game.. nie gameplay. i like the way you can trek for like 15 mins setting up... then get the perfect headshot on a guy who was about to RPG your teammate...

    its one of those satisfying games...

    J Ops can be really fun to play if you find the right server.
    But, if you have a community around (clan, friends) and some of them got it as well it is much better.
    You don't need to get like 30 people or such, it is good enough just to be in a group of 3 or 4 people and join any server. A group of this size can be very devastating when using Teamspeak or such <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    Only thing bad I see in J Ops is some small inbalancies.
    For example: MG gunners are used for defending, but a sniper just kills them before they have a chance. Snipers are a little bit too strong in J Ops, but that's why there are some "No Sniper" servers. On those you most often get much better teamplay and less camping.

    Diversity of classes is good, after a while you find your "set".

    Biggest negative thing for J Ops IMHO are the loading times, which can be really annoying when you you just want "a quick game". Other negative things are the already mentioned bad servers with lack of teamplay.

    Funny stuff for example is, that the AA rocket launcher is kinda useless, and that it more easier to kill a chopper with a RPG or an AT4, which are anti-tank guns <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    +J Ops also has <b>GORGES!!!!</b> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Just to warn you, the statement that goes a bit like "Runs smooth as silk even on a 56k modem" is a lie. Unless you make your silk out of gravel.

    No.

    I was in the beta, I liked it alot then... Havnt played the final version, but there was one bug where if you hit a bump just right with the hummer youd fly into orbit.

    I got the final version. It's battlefield with better graphics and MUCH better infantry combat. Big servers = total chaos for a n00b like me though. I'd be lucky to get a 2:23 kill:death ratio.
