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.

Escalation in a nutshell is what Battlefield 2 should of been and wants to be.I Hope to see more great games from Novalogic.Nuff said

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.

Having played the original many an hour (What's my girlfriend's name again?), I was simply blown away after jumping into the expansion. One warning though: I HIGHLY recommend a connection over 56k and a fairly new video card (think 128 mb) otherwise you may not be so happy. However, if you have these two bases covered, you are in for a treat!! With 100-150 player battles, top notch graphics, (this game is like digital crack, you almost need digital rehab to return to work :) and excellent pacing, the action and strategy is non-stop high quality entertainment. This game represents the best multi-player out there: Its everything that battlefield 1942, soldner, and even counterstrike, could never muster up
The new maps are cleverly balanced, the new vehicles (dirt bikes, tanks, new helis), weapons, and countermeasures are so well implemented its not a matter of how much fun you'll have, its a matter of how you are going to call in sick the next day so you can play some more. Its THAT good. In any case, anyone yearning for free online multiplayer, fast hot action, teamwork and strategy, look no further and pick it up!

Underwear X (If you see me in a server, give me a holler!)

Of course this is an expansion on the original Typhoon Rising. Yet, it adds more levels and more vehicles. I love the dirtbike, and when you hop in the abrams tank oh man, you better watch out. This game is so much fun to play whether on a team vs. another team or on a team vs. the computer. I can't recall how many nights I spent playing this game hours on end. Make sure you have the required setup recommended even better, because it will definitely strain your system. At least it did mine.

Adds to the fun of Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising. The biggest difference is the addition of new helicopters and tanks. While the vehicles still look fairly accurate, the way they're employed is not. Still, it doesn't really take away from the fun factor.

All-in-all, a great add-on for less than $20. If you own Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising, you need to get Escalation.

When this game came out in 03? it was a blast! now the graphics are dated and the fact that Nova Logic doesnt stay on top of punk buster like they should turns this once great game into a non-playable. I give it 5 stars for what it once was.

Yeah, this game rocks, but it didn't add too much to the original. Sure, you feel good because you completed the JO set, but I've found myself liking the servers with the original JO better. The only thing I found better about this game was the tanks a little and the dirt bikes. I found a server with all hills like a construction zone. I took the dirt bike and OH MAN! I had so much fun getting hangtime by jumping off the hills and getting air! Very fun! But other than that, I don't think this game is worth $30 just to add that little amount of stuff.
