Summary: I skipped my Calc 221 final
Review: First off, I skipped my Calc 221 final because this game came the morning of my final and I forgot the time and played right through it.

This is such a great sequel to the original. More Weapon, Vehicles, Levels, and it's all comptible with the original Call of Duty. The graphics are amazing. I don't have a great computer (iMac, 1.0 Ghz G4, 768 Mb RAM), but I can play on the best graphics and they are incredible. Halo has better graphics, but only if you have a top of the line computer.

So much is new. There are about ten new guns, plus flamethrowers, two new grenades, and rocket lauchers. There are 11 new multiplayer maps, plus all the old ones, and so many custom maps that are easy to download. In UO, you can drive the tanks and jeeps, very cool. The best part though is the improved gameplay, it's much more realistic. You can run, cook-off grenades, shell-shock, and so much more. And the sniper rifle actually looks like a scope, with dirt on the lens.

The Multiplayer is alot harder because you get more serious gamers buying UO. there are no "untitled soldier"'s run around waiting to get shot. Everyone has played the game, or they wouldn't have bought UO. There are more game types in UO, I particularly like Capture the Flag. The multiplayer maps take a while to learn because they're so fricken huge. Not like Battlefield 1942, but there is actually stuff on the levels unlike in BF 1942. You really need to take a jeep or tank in Capture the Flag to get to the other side of the level.

If you got Call of Duty and found it fun, you will definitey like UO. It's cheaper than the original and improves the gameplay so much more. Check it out.

Summary: This game rules. You must buy it.
Review: If you like the original, you'll love united offensive. My only complaint (and this goes for both the original and the expansion) is that they don't last long! Perhaps I'm exceptionally geeky and I spend WAY too much time playing games, but it seems to me that I am finished with all the levels just when I'm getting into it. Other than that, it was some of the best gameplay I've ever experienced... while it lasted. I think this one was even a little bit more challenging than the first (you'll see... and you'll get SLIGHTLY frustrated). Now stop reading this and go out and buy it!

Summary: Call of Duty United Offensive Mac Version
Review: Was looking forward to this expansion pack with much anticipation. Very disappointed. This version is not ready for general release. Very buggy. Too bad because the original worked great. After contacting ASPYR their response was that they are working on it. Since then I have encountered more bugs. Very frustrating to get to a point in the game and you can't proceed because the game shows error message and you can't go any further on that level. This is during single player mode.
