Joint Operations: Combined Arms Gold

If you are NEW to this game do not purchase!!! You cannot register to play online unless you have a previous account.

Helicopters, boats, hovercraft, jeeps, and armored vehicles are not just there to rack up kills but they are how the battle moves. Not to mention the fact that you can litteraly drive a jeep into a chinook at base and drop it off near combat zones. A good pilot or driver can completely change the flow of a match by getting troops into the right place at the right time. - I also love the tropical setting. The jungles, islands, rivers, villages, that give the game a look and feeling that is instantly recognizable. - Combat is medium paced, getting back into the fight is quick but not instant. It is not a hardcore milsim, but it still has enough danger an…
