Call of Duty- United Offensive Expansion Pack Description:
Call of Duty: United Offensive Expansion Pack review: 5 stars (best game ever made) - this expansion pack is amazing and provides great improvements to the regular call of duty game. don't buy it for the single player - buy it for the amazing multiplayer. the graphics and movement have improved greatly. you can now run instead of just walk, and use smoke bombs, a great improvement. the weapons feel better - the action is fast-paced and more realistic.
however, it's not perfect. many of the maps are so-called "tank maps" because they revolve around the use of tanks and jeeps. the jeeps are pretty cool, but these are a detriment to the game. you're better off not playing any tank maps at all. tanks are useless in that if you get in one, you'll almost instantly be blown to smithereens. in addition, the tanks keep spawning so this lame idea of "fun" is repeated ad nauseum. also the maps are much bigger and you spawn far away from the action, so there's too much walking or driving in UO.
other negatives - sniper rifles are much much less useful than in regular COD. why? well, people can sprint and the faster people move, the harder they are to hit. also, smoke bombs cloud the sniper's vision. (still, the smoke is simply amazing).
one more negative - artillery. artillery is a feature where when you reach a certain rank, you point with your binoculars and planes drop huge bombs on the enemy. for the most part it's cool, except there's simply too much artillery and when one team uses it on the other team's spawn point, the game is virtually over, because you can't stop from being killed by it. this is a stupid oversight on the part of the makers of UO.
other positives - new types of games, especially capture the flag, my personal favorite, greatly add to the fun, instead of playing old boring team deathmatch. also, make sure you turn your search filter on to search for "mods" so you can play new modifications and maps that people created. this adds to the freshness and excitement of the game. also turn "auto-downloads" on so you can download these new maps when you click on the server.
despite the negatives, i still play this game almost every day. even though i've played it for countless hours, it's still sooo fun. i think this qualifies as the best video game created to date. 5 stars (You are holding a gun, and you aim at a soldier.) - This is the most intense game ever. YOur ability to aim down the sight gives you the eye of an allied soldier who is ready to bring down the war machine once and for all. This game is not just about shooting, it's about surviving. Snipe an enemy soldier, destroy a tank, cover fire for your team, and move forward. 5 stars (CoD UO = 1337) - This game has the best graphics out and it probably the best you'll play if you love online multiplayers. even if you do the singleplayer its still awesome! best game I have and I am a total gamer. the custom maps are incredible too. make sure you turn on "allot auto downloading" in the multiplayer options!
buy this game if you're not a noob and have a love for gaming.
