Joint Task Force


Shiny real-time strategy for the Guns & Ammo crowd

The more nagging problem is that too many challenges come not from opponent tactics but from numbers and firepower. AI sometimes pursues or flees too predictably and often fails to take advantage of nearby cover. The winning tactic is sometimes to simply gun-and-run when more elaborate real-world flanking maneuvers just get your guys killed. Luckily, a cooperative mode enlivens the main campaign experience once you've got a handle on keyboard shortcuts, and the standard multiplayer modes - capture-the-flag, death match, and domination - offer enough customizability to inject some variety.

Joint Task Force delivers a distinctive and modern interpretation of real-time strategy, enjoyable in its own quirky way. It ain't perfect, but it proves fulfilling once you've taken a few learning curve lumps.
