5.0 out of 5 stars A must have if you liked the original JO., November 19, 2004

This is a perfect add on to the best multiplayer warfare game on the market. Fast action, easy to learn and play, cool weapons, great teamwork. Everything about this game rocks. They added all the right stuff that was needed to make the original perfect. There is no problem with the playability, the colisions, and the weapons. It's all good.

After playing the beta test for a month, I can't stop playing this game. Sure Halo 2 and Half Life 2 slowed me down a bit. But I'm back into J.O.E. like I never stopped. Play more and more each day. Oh god! I'm addicted! Ahhhhhh! Don't buy this game! It'll keep you awake for days!!! Ahhhh!

I agree with Billy though, the Novalogic Forum Admins are clueless on how to handle a real forum. They really have a superiority complex, and keep the flow of conversation to a bare trickle of information worth reading.

Anyone who says this is horrible is wrong. It has improved graphics and realistic battle styles. The viecles are based on some real ones that are some of the best ones in the world.The guns are the main thing I like. They have kick back and do not let you down unless you have a hand pistol. you get to parachute off the chinook helicopter!! Thats awesome. I really suggest you take this game into consideration.By the way, Pay attention to the other peoples reveiws except the bad reviews.
