JOINT OPS: ESCALATION
Tanks & Apaches & Dirt bikes.. Oh my!
Calabasas, CA — 9/16/2004 – November 16th 2004 should be marked on the calendar of all Joint Ops fans, as that date sees the release of Joint Ops: Escalation, the first expansion pack for the Number 1 Selling, world record breaking, large scale FPS.

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 and Battle Tanks make their debut, along with Mobile SAM Launchers and Dirt Bikes. Players will also be able to make airborne insertions into hot zones via Parachute.

Joint Ops: Escalation will also feature:
• Ceramic Body Armor.
• Optional 3rd Person weapon view for select vehicles.
• New emplaced weaponry for enhanced base defense.
• Over 25 new maps, including new Co-Op and Training missions.

Set in Indonesia in the near future, Joint Ops is the record breaking, largest multiplayer Modern Combat FPS game ever released. Developed using NovaLogic’s enhanced Black Hawk™ engine, with superior multiplayer technology, Joint Ops lets gamers play revolutionary 150 player games, across vast terrains online over NovaWorld.
