Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising is a 2004 first person shooter computer game from Novalogic that focuses almost entirely on its expansive online multiplayer mode. 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. Developed using the Black Hawk Down engine, Joint Operations promises superior rendering technology and an enhanced 3rd generation multiplayer experience.

The Joint Operations Task Force is an international assistance force that is under the command of the fictional "Coalition of Nations", which was formed before 1999, made up of elite special operations personnel from the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, Australia and Indonesia. The Task Force was previously employed in peacekeeping operations in East Timor. After requests from the Indonesian government, the Task Force was sent to the country as part of Operation Typhoon Rising, to stop the rebellion and re establish government control over rebel controlled territories.

The Indonesian Separatist Movement grew out of the 1998 Indonesian Revolution which saw the downfall of Indonesian President Suharto. The rebels fight for varied reasons in their desire to attain independence of certain provinces, as well as to protect their people against the government. The instruction manual for the game states that the Rebels feel that they have been the victims of unfair and inhumane treatment at the hands of the Indonesian military and government. Joint Operations forces were sent to Indonesia to combat the rebel threat after three bombs were detonated by the Rebels, with one destroying part of a school, one destroying a government building in Jakarta, and one that nearly killed the Indonesian president. Recently, factions of the military started to join the movement resulting in the rebels taking control of several military bases and capturing large numbers of weapons and vehicles.

On November 19, 2004, Novalogic released an expansion pack, Joint Operations: Escalation. The expansion pack was not a stand alone release and required the original game be installed first prior to use. Escalation introduced new maps, weapons, and vehicles while focusing on an expansion of the conflict to other areas in Southeast Asia. Players had the option to use parachutes to jump out of helicopters or from elevated map locations. In October 2005, Novalogic released both Typhoon Rising and Escalation as a compilation set called Joint Operations: Combined Arms which made it possible to buy both games in a single boxed product. This was done as a marketing move by the game manufacturer and there is no difference in game play between a player who owns Joint Operations: Combined Arms and a player who owns separate copies of both Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising and Joint Operations: Escalation. On August 11, 2009 Navarre Corporation re released the compilation as Joint Ops: Combined Arms Gold.

Typhoon Rising received "favorable" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. During the 8th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated Typhoon Rising for "Computer First Person Action Game of the Year", which was ultimately awarded to Half Life 2.

The expansion pack Escalation also received "favorable" reviews (though not as much as the original Joint Operations) according to Metacritic.
