Call of Duty: United Offensive - PC
Game Overview
|
Summary
A surprise hit in 2003, Call of Duty proved to a scrutinous gaming audience that there's more to World War II shooters than Medal of Honour. Famed for its graphical realism and difficult mission-based campaign, the Infinity-developed strategy game was a deserved and resounding success. And as with so many PC games held in such high regard, the arrival of an expansion pack was only a matter of time. Yes folks, it's time for Call of Duty's United Offensive.

Hosting a brand new single-player campaign in addition to a mass of multi-player modes, United Offensive will give its players plenty to do until Finest Hour comes along.
The single-player campaign, a game in its own right, gives players the opportunity to experience a another handful of the Second World War's most legendary conflicts, bringing with it an array of new weapons, new maps and character abilities. The Battle of the Bulge and the invasion of Sicily are particularly involving, and a multitude of weather effects and explosions makes the adventure all the more convincing.
The aforementioned multiplayer game has been expanded too. As well as offering a set of new maps designed for tank or troop warfare, United Offensive also affords its followers three new multiplayer modes for up to 32 players. These comprise of Tank Battle, the ever-popular Capture the Flag and Domination. The first two are fairly straightforward, whereas the latter, Domination, is a little more in-depth. Here, you must use your wits to take control of key locations whilst simultaneously preventing enemy troops from doing the same. It's a great challenge that'll never get old.
United Offensive is a prime example of what to expect from a worthy expansion pack. << less
