    Bit disappointing. Hectic shooting without the ballance of the original game. Tries to stretch the intense fighting too long and that gets boring sometimes. All was done in the original and better done.

    Disappointed, dissatisfied, mediocre, are just some of the words for this game. Between Medal of Honour and the three add-ons for it, and Call of Duty and its add-on, I feel like I am replaying the same game over and over. I swear that in the last Call of Duty game I had to assault a lighthouse, and a main square in a Russian city. The game quickly became save/load/save/load type of game, Disappointed, dissatisfied, mediocre, are just some of the words for this game.

I swear that in the last Call of Duty game I had to assault a lighthouse, and a main square in a Russian city. The game quickly became save/load/save/load type of game, where the computer would send endless waves of Germans at you until you crossed the magic line and triggered an event. The computer AI was horrible for this day an age. Your teammates would let the computer run by them while they were ?defending? the front door. All this game is, is an arcade game showed onto the PC. You have to do everything, from running around looking for the weapon to blow up the tank to quickly shooting everything in sight. The game is all eye candy, and they did a good job with this. From artillery raining down on you, to clouds from fires to the rain. Once again, game manufacturers don?t seem to get it, give us something different, how about some time and effort put into the game? Please stop producing nothing but eye candy, but give us a game. Worth buying? NO.… Expand

    They took the most exciting moments of the original game and made a perfect arcade game of it. 10 points for arcade add on and 2 points for PC game add on makes a 6. They took the worst parts of the original game to make the add-on. Could have been so much better!

    It was just as good as Call of Duty in every aspect except it didn't have as great of an ending mission, and the voice acting wasn't as good. However in some of the missions were great, like the airplane bombing mission was extraordinary. Otherwise though, it's just the same as the last game.

    Good game but can be very difficult, the opening sequence in bastogne is case point....running from foxhole to foxhole trying to keep from getting killed was no fun at all! Don't get me wrong, I love a good challenge but too much is too much! It could have been better.

    United Offensive plays like an expansion of the first game probably because that's just what it is. More or less the same experience just with some minor additions and streamlining to make it play smoother. The game is a bit more cohesive then the original because it splits up each nations perspective as its section instead of jumping back and forth with American and Soviet missions.

I would maybe give it a better score but the last section of the game at the train yard was so aggravating for me that it keeps my score the same. The rest of the game is good with some interesting levels like in the bomber plane but that last level and a few other small parts of the game are annoying to play.… Expand

    Это такой же тир как и одиночная кампания. Может в своё время это было куда увлекательнее.

    it could be good but not and :( whenever I was going to play it crashes in the menu and when a mission starts after about 30 minutes the game closed by itself ..... If you're going to play this game, it's better to play COD 2003I really regret buying this damn DLC

    Simply put, is a great expansion to an already great game. You'll have all the elements of stressful fun: Running through explosions, shooting tons of enemies, and experiencing a variety of World War II situations right at the front lines.

    The new multiplayer maps and modes give Call of Duty a good lift to add more variety to the game play and add modes that have always been popular in the online community.

    The multiplayer is a generous force with new modes, and significantly more depth allows the game to stand next to first-person shooters designed explicitly for multiplayer.
