Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising is a first-person shooter computer game from Novalogic that focuses almost entirely on its expansive online multiplayer mode. Set in the near future during a war between "Joint Operations" forces, which consist of elite special operations soldiers from the US, UK, Germany, France, Russia, Australia and Indonesia who fight against the Free Aceh Movement-like separatist "Rebels" on the islands of Indonesia.
Features:
One of the unique features of this game is the large multiplayer online servers, which can be classified as an example of an MMOFPS. Novaworld's servers can hold up to 150 players, which exceeds the typical 64-player servers common in games such as Battlefield 1942. Use of the Novaworld servers is free, and only requires purchase of the game itself, after which the player registers their CD-key on the official site to create an account which is used to log in to access the server list. Players are able to create their own games, hosting either a LAN or WAN server, with a player limit of up to 64 people. There is also an option to rent large-scale servers to overcome the 64-player limit.
