Requires too many resources [Posted on 2005-07-28]
I have an iBook G4 1.2GHz with 768MB RAM. The original Call of Duty ran fine. The expansion set, even with the lolwest graphics settings, does not run well. Picture jumps too much making it impossible to play, especially during big battle scenes.

It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This! [Posted on 2005-09-14]
I thought the original COD was excellent, but this expansion raises the bar. The graphics are excellent. The missions are wonderful, but, in my opinion, the best, by far, is the all-too-short stint you do in a RAF B-17. Running back and forth between top guns, waist guns and tail guns is very exciting. The US missions are excellent, too, as are the Russian missions.

As for resources, this game requires them. I have a middle of the road G5 and it runs fine. The only time it bogged down a tiny bit is during the final Russian battle in the rail yard. I have everything maxed out, though, so I could lower the settings and have no problems.

So, if you have a newer machine, or you are ok with lowering the settings, you'll be ok.

I'm anxiously awaiting more expansion packs for the Mac. In the mean time, I'll up the difficulty one notch and replay both games again.

It's THAT good.

Trust me.

Good action most of the time but could get monotonous some of the time. Would have been more fun if the ability to choose another weapon was there like for example a sniper rifle would have been better for a lot of the action.

Brilliant, Challenging expansion pack for Call of Duty. [Posted on 2005-12-01]
I just got Call of Duty: United Offensive, yesterday evening.

I've played through the american levels, and finished the first of the british levels (the bomber one).

Wow. I didn't think that I could get frustrated with difficulty in a Call of Duty expansion pack, considering that i've beaten call of duty on Veteran fairly easily.

I have the expansion pack set on Regular difficulty, and it's extremely hard. I can invision some people who would just not be able to beat this expansion pack. If you don't have lightning reflexes, a cunning mind, and know when to quicksave and when not too, you'll be fine.

As far as the quality of the levels. WOW.

The game opens with one of the most intense battles i've ever played in a computer game. The First 4 levels of the game are all American levels, and are all Battle of the Bulge. It's really like one giant level.

And for those of you that are thinking "$30, for an expansion pack"? don't worry. Each level is longer than any level in call of duty, making the game about the same length. I am blown away. I love being challened. I love the fact that I have to think really hard to do it, and it's not easy.

Buy this if you've become frustrated with the easiness of call of duty.

Expansion - collapses [Posted on 2006-01-19]
While I loved the original, the expansion pack has proven to be too slow to be any fun at all. Slow FPS means frustration and death. I am running a high end G5.
