Call of Duty and its expansion, United Offensive were sort of a different flavour than Call of Duty 2. I was actually hoping they would expand it back out again, give us the Cobras and the Humvees and the long distance ownage but then I realised, that it’s not Battlefield 2 and that’s why I like it, it’s a different game to play. So, it’s safe to say, I was pretty mixed up heading into November.

I’d like to just point out here that all Call of Duty PC Games have been very light on the old specifications. My PC tends to go ‘wrong’ from time to time and I have to resort to my older computer which doesn’t do what I want half as fast as I want it to. Can’t play Battlefield on anything higher than Low. Crysis, forget about it, it won’t even take the disc. They always manage to make them look great, yet amazingly you don’t actually need a supercomputer to enjoy the game.
Multiplayer:
Multiplayer is the most important part of the game, in my opinion. If the multiplayer is on fine form, you’ve got yourself a winner of a game. The big addition this time around was the stats. Before COD4, Multiplayer was just a one track affair. You play a round, you either suck or win and the next round, it’s back to the start. There was no progression for the player. But now, to catch up with other games such as Battlefield and Quake Wars, they add unlocks and statistics which means not all opponents are equal and everyone is playing a different game with different weapons, a different way.
Personally, I like to go undetected. I like to use silenced weapons and the knife, so I prefer the silence perks. But now and then, I like to change it around. Add myself a lovely Machine gun, put on some bullet penetration and throw some extra grenades in for good measure and I’m making noise and mowing everything in sight down and grinning like a Cheshire cat doing it. I have to mention also, the return of the Domination game mode. I thoroughly enjoyed that during my UO days and I’m so pleased they added it again.
