With all the recent talk about MAG, I can't stop thinking about how awesome this game was. And I wish more people still played it.

For those who don't know, it was an online FPS with server capacaties up to 150 players. And unlike MAG all the players in a game were on the same map/area. The game also featured many vehicles including tanks, dirt bikes, chinooks, hovercraft to name a few. As well as your standard weapons Rifles, submachine guns, you also had mortars. And the maps would be absolutley massive with matches sometimes taking hours to complete along with a day/night cycle. 
 
I had so many amazing moments with this game, which include driving a jeep out the back of a flying chinook only to land on two enemies. 
 
So did you play this awesome game? Care to share any memories you have?

Fuck. Yes.
 
Fuck yes I did.
 
Oh man, I don't brag about how well (or badly) I play games, but I swear I was one of the best Little Bird pilots out there. Blackhawks were a bit harder, but I was still pretty good with them.
 
Edit: I spent a lot of time playing with my clan on Humans Vs. Bots maps (one of the guys in the clan was an amazing map maker all the way back to when Black Hawk Down and Green Sabre were active), and my favorite memories were hauling ass in an AH-6 or the transport version and flying low and fast over a town full of RPGs and landing in a tiny clearing or something next to the objective. There was even a map where it was almost all fog (you could see roughly 10 feet around you) and I would fly through the forest and fog to land on a small slope and drop off team mates.
 
On that huge map with 3 Islands, I would always transport allies from the middle island to the enemies island and base. I even landed right next to the bunker in a Blackhawk once. The one thing I hated was the fact that you could never, and I mean never dodge Stinger missiles, even with a Co-Pilot holding down the Countermeasures/Chaff button and me pulling some insane moves.

OH man yeah, I got  this game free with a graphic card some time ago. It was pretty good :P

I played it, it was really cool.  I got the expansion too "Typhoon Rising"?  I forget...
 
The graphics were really cool, a faked HDR effect before real HDR was making its rounds in games.  Really nice pixel shader 2.0(?) water effects.  The best water in any game at release.  Nice grass too...  The game didn't run super great on my PC at the time, but I got a pretty steady ~15-20fps with near max details.  The problem with Joint Ops was the game was LAGGY AS FUCK in those really huge matches.  It was kind of cool riding in some vehicle or walking for minutes to get to where the fight was, but then getting killed sucked.  The battlegrounds were HUGE.  My biggest accomplishment was ranking #1 in a 128 person server several times (man that kicked ass, I might still have the screenshots around somewhere).  The combat felt a tiny bit janky too.
 
It also kind of sucked when people learned to go prone in boats way out at sea and snipe people, which was a hard tactic to fight against.  The mortar strikes could also be brutal.  Some people even took APCs underwater and way out to sea and just fired away at people with the cannons.
 
It was fun to mess around in the game too, great voice quotes 'GET OUT OF HERE!'.  Also one time a guy drove me in a boat about 10 miles outside of battle along some river then logged out.
 
Just a note MAG does have all the players on the same map, just like Joint Ops though not all the characters will necessarily be in the same spot.

I quit because their Punbuster was outdated and everyone downloaded color skins it seemed like. They had one of the worst AI in an FPS, ever, but I still logged many hours in the cooperative campaign (custom maps and 10 human players).
 
Last I heard the developers were making Delta Force: Angel Falls (200 players), but that was like in 2008, did they close down? The screenshots just looked like a high-res version of Joint Operations.
