Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising

Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising is a 2004 first-person shooter computer game from Novalogic that focuses almost entirely on its expansive online multiplayer mode. Set in Indonesia in the near future, Joint Operations takes the player to a country on the verge of disintegration. Regional independence movements have acquired advanced weaponry as the nation's military splits into competing factions. Escalating violence threatens innocent civilians and Western economic interests. Developed using the Black Hawk Down engine, Joint Operations promises superior rendering technology and an enhanced 3rd generation multiplayer experience.

On November 17, 2004, Novalogic released an expansion pack, Joint Operations: Escalation which added new maps, weapons, and vehicles to the original game. The expansion pack was not a stand alone release and required the original game be installed first prior to use. On October 10, 2005, Novalogic released both titles as a compilation set called Joint Operations: Combined Arms which made it possible to buy both games in a single boxed product. On August 18, 2009, NovaLogic released Joint Ops: Combined Arms Gold which contained both titles along with concept art, the soundtrack, and more.
