Good if you love being the Russians [Posted on 2007-06-09] 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.
Too frustrating to be fun [Posted on 2007-06-16]
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.
Great game... especially the online multiplayer. [Posted on 2007-07-18] 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.
Great Expansion [Posted on 2007-10-05] 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.
Oldie but Goodie [Posted on 2008-06-08] 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.
