Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty : United Offensive, the expansion to the extremely successful and thoroughly enjoyable CoD, has gone gold. This announcement makes the title's September 14 release date, very realistic.
Grey Matter Studios, the developers who took over from Infinity Ward for the expansion, claim that United Offensive will add 13 new missions and 11 new multiplayer maps.
Each of the multiplayer maps can be played in one of three different modes, Domination, Capture the Flag or Base Assault.
In Domination there are five points on the map that need to be secured by your team. The classic capture-the-flag mode is also present. In Base Assault each team has one fortified base to defend and one to attack. Victory can only be achieved by the use of heavy artillery and tanks. Much of the success of United Offensive, will depend on how popular this mode can become.
If you were one of the fans of Call of Duty you are, no doubt, expecting this expansion to breathe fresh life to the original. Has Grey Matter managed to create an engaging game while retaining the cinematic feel and frantic pace of the original? We will soon find out.
