I own the Call of Duty Deluxe Edition Box Set. It includes the United Offensive expansion pack, as well as the original game. For the past couple of days, I played through United Offensive. As with the base game, it followed the order of American, British, and Russian campaigns. There were fewer missions in the expansion pack (as expected), but they were longer and more difficult. There were some nice vehicle-based levels, including a British one set on an American B-17 bomber and another one on a captured German PT boat. You also got to drive a tank, fire anti-aircraft weapons, and do some combat while speeding around in a motorcycle sidecar. One thing I didn’t like was the infinitely spawning enemies on several levels. I never like it when video games use that as a way to present a challenge. For some reason, I found it more noticeable here than in the original game. Other than that, it was a high quality expansion and I enjoyed playing it.
