"About the Game
Jagged Alliance Online brings the turn-based strategy classic back to life as a single- and multiplayer online game! This game is fair to play, allowing you to earn anything that can be acquired in the game by playing - so it is YOUR tactics that count! THERE IS NO PREMIUM CURRENCY IN THE GAME.

Train your team and grab your gear from hundreds of weapons and armours to create the toughest frigging merc outfit in the world.

Compete in turn-based tactical PvP duels against other teams or transform the game into a FULL SINGLE PLAYER EXPERIENCE and take on challenging contracts around the globe with our optional CAMPAIGN PACK DLC. This allows you to play the game just like any other downloadable game - buy once and play forever without worrying about paying ever again.

Match your tactical skills against thousands of other players to win Warzones with your allies and lead you company to victory and great rewards. With great graphics, the well-known Jagged Alliance game mechanics and hundreds of new weapons and gear, this is turn-based strategy at its best!"

Singleplayer seems to be optional and you need the DLC. So primarily multiplayer game methinks...

Geez, that "discussion" became abusive in 3 posts! I've never posted on Steam and now I've been reminded why :\

RE: JAODLC Buy a single player experience for an online multiplayer game that is "f2p"? That sentence doesn't make much sense...

Seems fine to me. What's wrong with a multiplayer Jagged Alliance?

What is JA Online, Mauser's post in The Bear's Pit. I seem to recall there being a few more threads about the game, but Shanga seems to have misplaced them with the last forum reshuffling.
I couldn't get the game to work back when it came out, didn't really try it. But it is first and foremost a browser game, with whatever that means.

Nothing. Grab JA:DG or JA2 1.13 and play some multiplayer.

After playing it a an hour or so, the post by Mauser is pretty much spot on...

Holy shit the rape never ends, as if poor Jagged Alliance deserved the Back in Action treatment, now this. I sure how Flashback doesn't turn out to be a huge disappointment.

JA:O is almost 2 years old as I recall, was developed and released the same time as BiA, but it seemed better. As for JA:F, it won't be a disappointment. We do have quite a few bears working with them, and FC's HQ aren't that far away. Worse case scenario, we'll pay them a visit.

So its a simplistic online version. But it looks really good to me, better than the other successors. Is steam a must? There seems to be a browser game version, is it the same thing?

I think it should be the same thing. Browser uses the Unity plugin, so I guess steam uses the very same. As for better looking, it is better looking than BiA (though that is no big accomplishment), still waiting to see how JA:F will look like.
I think Steam is only required for the single player (aka DLC) purchase, though I haven't followed JA:O after its beta.

Oh, and there were quite a few complaints about needing to buy AP rounds etc in the browser version.
