There’s an exciting new mod and community project that’s been underway called the “Joint Operations Tactical Assault Coalition.”
It aims to enhance the Joint Ops multiplayer experience and open it up to new players. No Novaworld account is needed to play online.
An awesome member of the Novalogic community, Oscarmike247, has worked hard on this mod for several years. Many great features to note, among others, are all new weapon sounds and reload animations, which really improve the experience! The M1911 pistol and the M82A1 Barrett .50 rifle sure do come to life!
Another wonderful member of the community is SPAGHETTI, who, with his hard work, has created the JO:TAC launcher. The goal is to make the download experience as seamless as possible for new and returning players. He also manages the websites and stats pages to help ensure this project is a real success and players want to keep coming back!
