==================================================
====================
4. Server Settings
==================================================
====================
The Beta Demo for Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising allows you to play
multiplayer games hosted on NovaWorld, or hosted by other gamers.

Automatic Team-Size Balancing
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When a game server cycles to a new map, the server will balance the
teams automatically. This way, when one team in a game has more members
than the other team, the server will swap the correct number of people
from one team to the other. The players that are swapped to the other
team are the players with the least amount of time in that server.

Switching Teams
----------------------------------------------------------------------
During games hosted by other players, you may be able to change teams
in mid-game. This depends on whether the game is hosted with this option.
To do change teams, press the ~ key (without pressing the SHIFT key)
to open the command line. Enter “server swapteam” (without the quotes).

Enable AI
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When you host your own multiplayer game, you can add computer-controlled
players to the map. These players will help each team guard and attack,
using their artificial intelligence.

To add AI players, go to the hosting page from either the LAN button
or the NOVAWORLD button on the main screen. Click on the Game button to
see settings for the game you are going to host. Change the Enable AI
setting to Yes. When you start hosting your map, both teams will include
AI players.


==================================================
====================
5. Drivable Vehicles
==================================================
====================
You can now operate land, sea, and air vehicles.

The controls are simple.

Walk up to a vehicle and see the attach points.
Press the SHIFT key to connect to the highlighted point.
To detach, press the SHIFT key again.
To move to an empty seat shown in the vehicle display of the HUD,
press the SHIFT key and the corresponding number key at the same time.

Use the typical WASD keyboard keys to control movement.
Steer the vehicle by moving the mouse. To look around without turning
the vehicle, hold down the right mouse button and move the mouse.

Players can control any vehicle they come across on the battlefield.
If the enemy leaves a vehicle unattended, you can jump in and take
control.

You can drive each vehicle at three different speeds. Control your
speed with these keys: Z (slow) X (medium) C (fast)

For helicopters, press the E key to raise your elevation. Press the
Q key to lower your elevation.
Press and hold the SPACE key to increase your altitude temporarily.
To orbit an area, press the W key and either the A key or the D key.

The final version of the game will offer more vehicles than the beta.


==================================================
====================
6. Weapons
==================================================
====================
Several weapons are available for both teams. Each team uses some
weapons that are exclusive to that team. More weapons will be available
in the official release.

Hand weapons
----------------------------------------------------------------------
M9 Bayonet [J]: The classic knife for silent kills up-close and underwater.

Machete [R]: A long blade common to the jungles and perfect for stealthy
kills.

Colt 1911 [J,R]: High-powered clip-loading sidearm famous for reliability
and stopping power.

Smith & Wesson .357 [R]: This revolver is a heavy hitter like the Colt.


Assault rifles & submachine guns
----------------------------------------------------------------------
AK47 [R]: The well-known Russian assault rifle, popular in third-world
countries. AK47s can be equipped with grenade launchers.

AK74 [R]: The AK74 fires a smaller round than the AK47, but it fires
more accurately, and recoils less.

M4 [J]: This lightweight rifle works best for quick and close fighting.
M4s can be equipped with the optional M203 grenade launcher.

MP5 Silenced [J,R]: This silenced rifle can be heard only by those near
it, but the smaller bullet requires better aim.

M16 [J]: A heavier assault rifle than others, but more accurate.


Machine guns
----------------------------------------------------------------------
M60 [J]: This heavy gas-powered machine gun fires a dangerous round,
but the tripod should be used for accuracy.

M249 SAW [J]: The Squad Automatic Weapon machine gun delivers a large
volume of effective fire; perfect for close quarters battles.

PKM [R]: This belt-fed portable machine gun fires more accurately when
aimed with the bipod.


Sniper rifles
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragunov [R]: Powerful semi-automatic sniper rifle with a faster rate
of fire than bolt-action choices.

M82 Barrett [J]: The .50 caliber ammo shot from this semi-automatic
rifle can deliver a message from a long-range.

SR-25 [J]: Possibly the most accurate semi-automatic sniper rifle.


Specialty weapons
----------------------------------------------------------------------
M224 Mortar [J,R]: A light and portable mortar allowing engineers to
fire a highly explosive round at a designated target.

Target Designator [J,R]: The visual line-of-sight provided by a
designating player enables an engineer to fire a mortar from a safe
distance.

AT4 [J]: Portable rocket launcher designed to destroy armored vehicles.

RPG-7 [R]: This shoulder-fired rocket-propelled grenade launcher is
muzzle-loaded and can be fired at nearly anything.

FIM-92 Stinger [J,R]: Point one at an enemy helicopter, wait for the
lock-on signal, and fire. The stinger will track the helicopter
through the air, but a good pilot might be able to avoid it.


Explosives
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Satchel charge [J,R]: Place the explosive package on a target, move to
a safe position, and press the detonator.

Flashbang grenade [J,R]: Disorients and distracts enemies in a
non-lethal manner.

Fragmentation grenade [J,R]: Exploding shrapnel causes casualties out
to 15 meters.


==================================================
====================
7. Voice and Radio
==================================================
====================
Team communication during the game can be enhanced by using both the
voice emotes and radio macros. The menus for both voice and radio
communication include dynamic choices that change depending on your
player class and location in the game.

Voice
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Press the F9 key to see a list of voice emotes for your character.
Then press the number key of the emote you want your game character
to say. Other players standing near your player will hear the
emote you choose.

Notice that the choices for the 8 key, 9 key and 0 key are displayed
in a different color. Those three dynamic emotes change depending on
your character class, and player locations such as in vehicles and
on emplaced weapons.

Radio
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Press the F10 key to see a list of radio messages. Then press the number
key of the message you want your character to speak into his radio.
Everybody on your team will hear you on their radio.

The choices for the 9 and 0 keys will change dynamically based on your
game situation.
 
Looks good, thanks for heads up. I'm definitely gonna give this demo a good play through
 
I have been playing beta since it came out and it is alright but the vehicles are nothing compared to BF1942... I also like the infantry fighting in Vietnam better... Oh well.

-warsaw
 
I think that what is out now is going to change a good bit before release .. it doesn't come out till may supposedly .. so hopefully they'll change alot of the stuff .. I think the game has some potential ..
 
Feels like Delta Warrior. I like it, not as cool as some other games. Getting pretty good as teh sniper. Thats only if I can find transportation :( Anyone know how to fly the choppers? I really like teh 100 player servers. Lots of action.
 
Press Q to rise, and E to lower in the helicopter. Does anyone know how to get my mouse wheel up to cycle through my previous weapons? only my mouse wheel down works, and it is very annoying. thanks.

Click to expand...

It's E to rise and Q to descend .. and if you set your controls to default then Mouse Wheel up is previous and Down is Next ..
 
Yea but thats only if you don't rebind you keys. If you change the lean left/right then you have to use those keys to make the help's go up/down. I would rather have them write the manaul with the key name vrs the default key bind....

Ah thank you much. I still suck at the vehicles. Helicopters are fairly easy to fly though.

But eveytime i setup my controls, mwheelup doesnt work. i dont rebind it to anything elese either.... is there an .ini or .cfg i can edit? i tried looking but couldnt find one.
 
I kinda like the game

As far as comparing it to BF:V
Its about par with it

atleast the heli's are easier to fly
and the game dosnt crash on me like BF:V does

so a game that i can play is alot better then a game that cant

So i think im goin to buy this game!

FUnny that the beta runs better then the release of BF:V
 
yeah man, im surprised that it runs as smooth as it does. i do feel that the graphics could have been better, and i honestly hate how the helis fly/shoot. they should be like BF:V, soo much smoother and better.

I had that same thing happen to me .. and I don't know how to change it .. so for now I'm just dealing with the default key binds ..

and about the graphics and whatnot .. remember .. this a BETA .. it's not a full version demo .. the game will change before release ..
 
Is Nova World server down right now? I just downloaded the game and updated it, but I cant get into the server browser.
 
I just got done playing .. and was for a few hours .. a bunch of servers were up except for the two 100 player servers
 
My game does random crashes and gives me memory errors, But it's a beta so i think this will be worked out.

Looks good so far kinda reminds me of delta foce 2 fulti player, Ah the fun.
 
has anyone come across a solution to fixing the mouse wheel up not working ingame? it works with default controls, but if you rebind the controls it doesnt which is very annoying.
 
Is it just me that gets the Program error - Sysdump.txt Saved message?

It's really bugging because i don't know if its my system or the game because it keeps crashing every 5 mins when i try to play.

Nope not here .. nor has it happened to any of my friends that have tried the demo or are in the beta ..
 
I get Sysdump.txt 1 out of 3 times i play the game i just restart the game and bam no more Sysdump.txt

Also how do you adjust the scope to lessen the Range?
all i can do is go up.
 
Those of you that have Black Hawk Down and Team Sabre expansion. If you have tried the Joint Operations Demo how would you compare it to the BHD you have been playing?
Also If you happen to have BFV how does JO compare to it? I realize this is only Beta but it still gives you a rough idea of play. Just like seeing opinions.

glad to see you gave the Beta a chance ..

and btw .. this game takes actual skill and tactics .. not a mindless run and shoot like BF/UT ..

if you actually gave it some time and put effort into it you might like it better ..

if you actually got into a game that wasn't full of noobs it's alot different ..

but there really is no point in arguing .. if you don't like it fine .. go play something else ..

for those willing to actually take time and learn how JO is played you'll have fun ..

lol

a beta demo and it already has a fanboy

the gameplay is pretty similar to just about every other game out right now, it's just poorly implimented

it's like they wanted to turn bhd into more of a bf1942 type game

and it looks like they failed
 
i happen to like the game alot and wish they would release more maps for it. Fun game once you get hte hang of it love the ballistics modeling
