A Lackluster Follow-Up I wanted to like this game, I really did. I loved Call of Duty and played my favorite missions repeatedly. However, United Offensive just wasn't up to snuff, missing a lot of the flavor of the original game. As other reviewers have noted, single player missions are WAY too scripted - to a ridiculous extent. It's tiring, unimaginative, and not very challenging - as long as you hit the right waypoints in a mission, enemies magically appear, then stop spawning, often without reason. It lends a very artificial and mechanical feeling to the mission design, with little variation in tactical decisions (even so far as to end the mission when you 'fail to follow orders'). The AI has not improved at all (if anything, it's worse) and your own allies constantly get in your way, blocking shots, crowding the doorways. Some new weapons are cool, like the deployable light machine guns and you can cook grenades (not that the AI will ever throw them back), but these do little to compensate for the rest of the game's faults.
