Well worth the price of admission for fans of the original Call of Duty.
User Rating: 8.8 | Call of Duty: United Offensive PC
Fans of the original game, go out and buy this expansion pack! It will be the best $30 you've spent towards video games in a long time. United Offisive keeps everything that was great about the original game and adds a few tricks of it's own. The single player, while not as lengthy or consistent as the original Call of Duty, packs in a good amount of memorable missions and scripted battles. Even the "on rails" vehicle type sections play well and are very exciting. (The B-17 gunner mission being a great example of how to properly pull off the correct "on rails" dynamic). The overall playtime seemed slightly short, even for an expansion pack. It would probably take a Call of Duty veteran eight hours or so on a mid-range difficulty setting. I would have liked to have seen another 2 to 3 missions that would bump the playtime up to the 10-12 hour range, but I definately don't feel cheated by what the singleplayer United Offensive provides. Multiplay adds vehicles into the mix along with a slew of new small arms and maps. The overall vehicle implentation is very well done and while the vehicles can be powerful they don't tend to overwhelm games completely. The new maps are all solid for the most part and compare favorably to the original CoD's selection. If you are a fan of the original you will find nothing to complain about with the United Offensive expansion. The only exception would be is if you are looking to just play the single player campaign. While the campaign is very well done, it's over relatively quickly. This expansion is a great overall value for the money, but only if you plan to utilize everything it offers.
