Improves on the original ...,
By
This review is from: Call of Duty: United Offensive Expansion Pack(PC) (Video Game)
.. which, Lord knows, was a hell of a game to start with.The single player game extends the original with new weapons, including the flame thrower, borrowed from this same company's Return to Castle Wolfenstein. It also has a much improved explosion, fire and particle smoke system. However, this eye candy comes at a price in terms of FPS; the game runs noticeably slower than the original, especially on some of the bigger, outdoor levels. When you're inside buildings, you won't notice so much. (Playing on a Athlon XP 2400+ with a Radeon 9800 Pro). The only other quibble about the single player game is (here comes that same old broken record!) it's a tad on the short side. That seems to be par for the course for expansion packs. But it's really the multi-player game that shines here: I mean, wow! This is an absolutely HUUUUGE leap of the original's (admittedly, somewhat limited) efforts. Think Call of Duty meets Battlefield 1942. The maps are much, much bigger, and yes, you can finally drive vehicles in multi-player game. Only tanks, jeeps etc though; there's no pilotable aircraft. If, like me, you've always balked at the idea of paying out money for decent multi-player only games, then this is the expansion pack for you.

Call of Duty - United Offensive,

This review is from: Call of Duty: United Offensive Expansion Pack(PC) (Video Game)
A long awaited expansion disc that follows the highly rated Call of Duty. The single player game is tougher than the original( well, except for the 1st part of the Russian section in COD ).But the most exciting part is the online game. Now you can climb into jeeps and tanks! But on most servers I have tried it on, the vehicles cause quite a bit of ' lag '.This can be sorted out by reducing the number of vehicles and concentrate on the infantry game. The new online maps look good and are almost huge! One of the new weapons that most players like to use is the flamethrower! very effective close range ;-)You will also find smoke grenades, satchel charges, light machine guns ( can't be fired on the move and takes a few seconds to set up ). So to sum up, the single player game is great but the online game is much better! Don't forget, you have guys out there designing new maps and mods which adds icing to an already enjoyable cake!

Very Good Expansion,
By A Customer
This review is from: Call of Duty: United Offensive Expansion Pack(PC) (Video Game)
Call of Duty United Offensive is a very worthwhile purchase if you enjoyed the first Call of Duty. This expansion pack conatins an all new Single Player Experience, as an American Rifleman in the Battle of the Bulge (much better than the Medal Of Honour equivalant). It also puts in the shoes of a British Pilot shot down over Holland and then as an SAS member. You also play as a Russian soldier.There are some all new weapons such as the Bazooka/panzershreck. A Webley Revolver, a Tokarev Pistol, new semi-automatic rifles for the German and Russian Teams, and light deployable machine guns, such as the MG 34. They have also remodlled the British Sten. In Multiplayer, there are 3 new modes, Capture the Flag, Base Assault, and Domination. There are 6 different tanks to drive, as well as jeeps and Flak Cannons. You can also call in artillery strikes. A very good expansion making this a more Battlefield 1942 experience than a Medal of Honour one.
