Joint Operations: International Conflict is a mod for the expansion pack Joint Operations: Escalation, developed for the game Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising. "International Conflict" builds on the original game with additional weapons, vehicles, uniforms, and buildings, as well as modifying the environment and game effects; the current version is 4.1.2.0 and it is largest mod developed to date for this game title. As with all mods, the base game Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising and the expansion pack Joint Operations: Escalation must first be installed in order to use International Conflict mod which is freely downloadable on the Internet.

The mod is intended to be used in connection with players participating in the International Conflict campaigns, organized by a private group of the same name. Each campaign consists of two sides playing the Advance and Secure (AAS) game mode fighting for territories on a map administered by the group. Players register and are randomly put on one of two sides, unless the player makes a donation to help fund the continued efforts of the group, in which case the player may choose their side. Once per week there is a battle day event, usually on a Sunday, where up to 250 people play together on the International Conflict game servers. Control of territories changes depending on outcome of the battles. Each battle day event is nine hours long, with battles lasting approximately ninety minutes; any given campaign is typically eight weeks. Furthermore, each side is set up in hierarchies of military ranks. Lower ranks are expected to follow orders from their superiors if they wish to continue playing. Players typically increase their rank by frequent participation.

A key aspect of the game is teamwork and extensive cooperation, which is what sets International Conflict apart from the style of the original game. It is required that players have the communications program TeamSpeak and a microphone to be able to communicate with their team.[1] However, some players do not participate in the International Conflict campaigns, preferring to instead play independently on Novalogic or private servers for the unique aspects of the game in its modified format. Unlike most mods, International Conflict supports single player mode.

International Conflict requires Novalogic's mapmaking tool for Joint Operations, the Novalogic Interactive Level Editor, or "NILE". The Delta Force: Black Hawk Down or Delta Force Xtreme MED editor may also be used to make maps for Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising. The NILE editor is free for download at Novalogic's site and can also be found on the game installation CD. Designers set the resource directory to the computer's JOTR installation folder and set the mod to "IC" to be able to use the unique items and terrains of International Conflict.
