It's almost a shame I have Kelley, otherwise I may have just fallen in love all over again~
Call of Duty United Offensive was the first thing I purchased with last week's pay check, and I'm not sure I've been to work since. The game is fantastic follow up to it's original counter-part, which sadly, wasn't quite as good. We've all heard the reviews about the multi-player levels, and how it's Battle Field meets Call of Duty, well all those reviews can't properly express just how good the multi-player is. Yes indeed you have your vehicles like BF and there is a game scenario called Domination that has the same capture the flag basis as Battlefield, but there are a few essentials to COD that Battlefield Lacked.
Base Assault, a scenario in which you must protect 3 bunkers, and destroy 3 more... get down inside the rubble, plant a bomb in the basement, and escape and protect the bomb... This is my favorite game type, you tend to find a lot of servers packed with 20+ people playing this one, tanks and vehicles are a must have to decimate the bunkers, and of course, any one attacking yours.
Capture the Flag- Take the Flag, run away, protect yours... very run of the mill
Team Death match... run of the mill kill the other team... except with tanks!
Death Match- Basic free for all
Behind Enemy Lines- steal the enemy's crap while they protect it, or plant some bombs and make stuff go BOOM!
Head Quaters- Capture the radio and hold it
It has everything the first game had, and more, including portable Light machine guns, like the 30. cal. Bazookas we're introduced, but Unlink MOH, you can't start off with one, you have to find it, and even then, I haven't see it used as a p****y weapon. And of course, the russian SVT-40 rifle... although I think its TVT with out the scope, and the German G-43 have been introduced... *amazing how similar they look* The british didn't get anything new, poor chaps, but there is one weapon that still remains cooler then anything else, the even MOH has been a little delayed on releasing... The Flame Thrower.... o yes
Fire in the morning
Fire in the evening
Fire at supper Time!!!
The Single Player missions were outstanding as well, and your squad proves some what more competent this time around. It's not all exactly historically accurate, and some of the things you can accomplish *B-17 level* are outrageous, but it's still a lot of fun. However, if this game was to market itself via advertisements, I'd specify and focus most of the attention on the multi-player... which to date, blows away most any other game I've played... and yes, that includes Unreal...
