Oldie but Goodie

Call of Duty has venerable history. I would consider United Offensive as the best addition to the series because it continues the excellent action of the original in single player while adding one of the best gametypes to multiplayer: Base Assault.

Base Assault pits one of the Allied factions (Russians, Brits, Americans) versus the German army and the goal is to use tanks and bazookas to take down enemy bunkers, then plant and hold a bomb in each bunker to blow them up. Blow all three bunkers: you win. It's amazing that Call of Duty 2 stripped this gametype out and CoD4 doesn't even attempt to have something similar.

In terms of multiplayer, United Offensive still holds weight, even when compared to Unreal Tournament 3, any of the Battlefield games, or any of the other rail shooters that consider DM, TDM, and CTF to be 'extensive'. The graphics are still great, sound quality is excellent, and there remains a hearty multiplayer community. I've been playing it for years, and haven't found as good a game yet.

Great Expansion

A very worthy expansion to a superb game. It not only continues the game, it has enhancements like the ability to Sprint and to "cook off" grenades before throwing.

Multiplayer is likewise awesome, now with the addition of drivable vehicles. The maps are spectacular and absolutely gigantic, some to the point that you simply can't cross them in any reasonable time without doing it in a jeep.

It's a very, very worthy addition for little cost.

Great game... especially the online multiplayer.

I know this game is getting old, but that doesn't mean that people are moving on to the latest and greatest version. Even Call of Duty 2 was released a while back, but United Offensive the what people are sticking to... at least until COD 4 is released.

Too frustrating to be fun

Some levels are far too difficult to be fun even on the 'easy' setting--the Foy church tower comes to mind, among several others. It's a thin line between challenge and frustration. It's no fun to do the same levels over and over without result, and it should not be necessary to constantly use cheats to get through the levels.

Good if you love being the Russians

If you're into being the technology challenged Russian army, this is for you. If you like to actually have a weapon to fire, maybe not so much. I exaggerate. This is a good game with a few more hiccups than the original COD, but there are parts that are just plain awful to try to get through, and I personally got sick of constantly being part of the Russian army. Those parts seemed to drag whereas the rest was fun.

another Call of Duty Winner: United Offensive

Call of Duty United Offensive is a great game but it is significantly different from the others. There is a strategy that requires you to figure out the Right manner of fighting this particular battle or immediately being blow away, repeatidly. The game must be viewed as a Team effort vs. Call of Duty 2 which allows for much individual effort. The graphics and weaponry and sound effects make you "feel" the action and realize the horrific nature of war; but especially the fatalistic realities of certain large battles--if you live,it is by the "Grace of GOD' and not human cunning or abilities... If you like shooting games, this is one of the best and more than worth your $.

Fine game

I really enjoy the Call of Duty games,all of them are designed well and are enjoyable to play.
In Call of Duty 2 they resurected Capt. Price,in the first Call of Duty game,Capt. Price was killed when he and the player sabotaged the German battleship Tirpitz.
Thats the only thing I didn't like about COD 2.

this addition to call of duty add's a whole new realm to the game and makes you want to play call of duty over and over, the expansion pack adds new missions and new thrills and views to the game, if you played call of duty do not miss out on this addition to the game you wont regret it and it is well worth the buy, at the price you get twice the fun,

Awesome Game

In this game you will be playing as American, British and Russian. It follows right after the first Call of Duty. The last battle of each level will be the toughest battles you will ever play. I strongly reccomend it to all World War II fans. You will get your money's worth.

You are not alone and it shows!

Even if this expansion pack was not developped by the same company that did the original Call of duty, the same level of quality is present.

The atmosphere in this game is so intense, the sounds and the surroundings so realistic, that you will lose contact with your real surroundings pretty fast. The American campaign begins at a fast and furious pace as you control the gun in a jeep, escaping various german vehicles and soldiers. Nothing new from a similar sequence in Call of Duty, but it is excellently done. In the final arc of that campaign, you will have to defend a château and waves after waves of germans are coming at you. You will feel exhilirated when you finish it.

The British campaign has you starting in a bomber, manning the different guns and shooting scores of planes. The rest of the campaign is at a slower pace than the American one but it is welcome because it won't let you go in the Russian part of the game.

You will participate in the battle of Kursk and the city is in complete ruins. You will also control a tank.
There is some problems that detract from the game but those are small. Why can't we jump over sandbags? The level are also a little linear but that is the price to pay for the cinematic experience that this game offer. The AI is excellent, if you patch the game to 1.51.

You must play this game. You will remember it for a long time.
