The draw distance, depending upon PC spec, can be anything up to 1000 metres, and a typical map can be anything up to 50 square kilometres in size. This is a very useful ability, because if there’s anything JOPS does well, it’s long distances. Most are self-explanatory, but the Engineer is probably the most interesting, being able to carry RPGs to take out helicopters, or a mortar to provide heavy fire support across long distances. All the standard classes are there rifleman, gunner, sniper, medic and engineer – each of which limited to carrying specific types of weapons. Whilst JOPS is a dedicated online shooter, it does include about a dozen well-constructed tutorial missions that can be played alone and offline, which introduce you to the multitude of weapons, vehicles and classes available in the game. The Separatists believe they are in the right, and so do the UN forces, setting in motion the inevitable collision between Unstoppable Force and Immovable Object. It’s a sign of these politically charged times that Novalogic have left the morality of Separatist forces unexplained – there’s no mention of the singularly emotive word “terrorist” here. Set notionally in the Indonesian Pacific, the game takes place on a vast archipelago, pitting the insurgent Indonesian Separatist forces against a multinational UN force (spearheaded by the redoubtable Delta Force) charged to restore the recognised government. JOPS is a Massively Multiplayer Online Shooter from the same stable as the perennially popular Delta Force games. It smells like… a new game! Forgive the mangling of an Apocalypse Now quotation, but it’s eerily appropriate for Joint Operations. I love the smell of broken cellophane in the evening.
