Call of Duty: United Offensive (PC Games, 2004)

Right from the start when you play the Allied Offensive
single campaign , Expansion Pack , you will notice the
difficulty has changed. It is in excess of Call Of Duty 1.

Although the gameplay base is the same , the amount of AI
has been extended to include more tanks and difficult to
combat , vehicles or panzerfausts. Making the game more
challenging on normal or regular mode. This may cause you
to change to "Greenhorn" mode for the first time.

With more computer derived soldiers and vehicles the new
maps even challenge your exact routing , due to the land
mines that have existed in the previous maps on the perimeter
areas only. The existance of more of everything makes it so
that you can hardly stay in 1 spot for any length of time ,
forcing you into battle.

This Expansion Pack makes it clear that you are not playing
the same game in the single player campaign. Well worth adding
to COD1. It is also a reminder of how good it would be to have
the ability to create an online game , against a multitude of
computer players as the single player mode does. Instead of
completely creating both Axis & Allied players.

With the ability to create an online team as Allied players
only , all sorts of maps and levels could be played , instead
of the scorecard type game that is presently the only way to
play online. Not to mention taking the single player team
through the maps with a limited number of real players ,
together. As it is now , if there are only 2or3 real players ,
the game itself does fall short , compared to other games that
play against the computer players within the maps , all the time.

Hopefully in the future there will be another Expansion Pack that
will allow all maps to be played by the existing COD Team , that
would include full ability to set the programming from a full
featured interface. And even allow the ability to also take on
battles from an Axis Team point of view , against Allied computer
players , in all battles that took place.

So far , this Expansion Pack is intense and well worth adding to
your PC game collection.
