Customer Reviews of Call of Duty: United Offensive Expansion Pack (Mac)
Excellent Graphics and Realism, Online Play Erratic For a long time I was a Medal of Honor (MOHAA) junky, particularly the online cooperative team games. I was a little skeptical when my peers told me that "this is MOHAA done the way it should have been done from the start". The hype is definitely warranted. <
> <
>This game is so much more realistic in terms of the graphics and gameplay (what happens when you take a bullet, etc) that there's really very little comparison. It does require pretty hefty hardware (I recommend a G5 or dual G4 and a Radeon or GeForce card with at least 64MB of VRAM. 128 is better), but if you've got the hardware it's a blast. <
> <
>The one thing I'm not impressed with is the online play. While the setup for online servers and such is more flexible than MOHAA, certain game types seem to be very laggy for some reason, even on 4mbps cable. At first I thought it might be my system but for whatever reason the ping and general performance you get from this game seems to be a little erratic (even when all other online tasks work flawlessly for me). <
> <
>YMMV, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Still very much worth the price of admission though. Single player game by itself is worth it. :)
Review for the Alaska Apple Users Group
A while back I had the chance to review one of the best World War II shooters on the market, Call of Duty. Now I get to re-visit the title in the form of it's expansion pack, Call of Duty: United Offensive; recently released for the Macintosh.
<
>
<
>United Offensive brings more of the same awesome game as well as a few new goodies. In summary, it brings 13 new single player missions that span the alliance, 11 new multiplayer missions, vehicle-mounted weapons, and mobile heavy machine guns.
<
>
<
>The new missions are most welcome! Though separate from the original campaigns, they carry you through cohesive strands of the war as seen by American, British, and Soviet perspectives. Your first mission has you fighting in the epic Battle of the Bulge for the 506th PIR, which was recently made more famous by the HBO mini-series, Band of Brothers.
<
>
<
>The added equipment is a welcome addition too. The new weapons and vehicles are well balanced and provide a more realistic depth of tactical options in both single and multi-player modes. Being able to relocate heavy machine guns and shoot from the back of jeeps, for example, make things much more interesting at times.
<
>
<
>This was not a hastily developed expansion. The maps are just as carefully built and feature trenches, cities, forests, and even more destructible terrain - or at least it seemed that way when a tank destroyed a boulder I was using as cover the other day!
<
>
<
>One thing is for sure, air strikes, tanks, and mortars play a more active role in United Offensive. Some objectives have you taking out German anti-tank weapons so tanks can move in, mortars often stop your advance, and P-47s and Stukas swoop overhead much more often. Not to mention my personal favorite part of the game - a mission that makes you a gunner on a bomber in the air war!
<
>
<
>Unfortunately, United Offensive was substantially slower than the original on the same hardware, so be prepared if you're on the low end. It also runs as a separate application and requires a separate CD so switching from COD to UO requires you to quit, swap CDs, and then to start the game you want to play. That's a hassle.
<
>
<
>In the end though, those technical issues are overshadowed by all of the additions and I am left with an overwhelmingly positive opinion of the game. It does well where the original did and keeps Call of Duty at the top of my favorites list.
It got better!
I didn't think it was possible for CoD to get better, but somehow, with this x-pac, it did! Multiplayer, as always, is amazing.
<
>I noticed a mention of bugs in an earlier review, and they were there, but the recent patch has fixed them up.
