Novalogic, the creators of the extremely successful Delta Force Black Hawk Down title, have been keeping the press busy recently with a string of announcements. Unfortunately for fans of the game, Delta Force - Black Hawk Down: Team Sabre expansion pack will not be released in October, as originaly announced but in Q4 of 2003.
Novalogic however, immediately tried to make ammends for the delay by announcing plans to release Joint Operations, a brand new multiplayer based PC title during Fall of 2003.
Set in Indonesia in the near future, Joint Operations takes the player to a country on the verge of disintegration. Regional independence movements have acquired advanced weaponry as the nation's military splits into competing factions. Escalating violence threatens innocent civilians and Western economic interests.
