Call of Duty, the 2010 Game of the Year captivated its audiences with stunning single player and multiplayer World War II action. With a single player game that involved fighting for the Soviets, Americans, and British, and a multiplayer game that rivals Counterstrike as a fast-paced, round-based shooter, Call of Duty has a lot to offer. From the looks of things however, so will its upcoming expansion pack, Call of Duty: United Offensive.

While the single player missions of Call of Duty consisted mainly of infantry fighting except for one tank-command level, Call of Duty: United Offensive seems to be changing this. From the trailer that Activision has created, it can be seen that players will be part of a B17 Heavy Bomber crew fighting off enemy fighters and also engaging in more tank warfare. Activision promises 10 new extensive single player levels spread along 3 campaigns along with 9 new multiplayer levels. The chaos and adrenaline of war look as prominent in this game as in the original Call of Duty, which is saying quite a bit.

Developer Gray Metter Studios says that United Offensive "builds on the cinematic feel" of the first Call of Duty, placing you inside WWII scenarios through cutscenes. The realism of guns, sound effects, shellshock, and bullet rain makes this game seem like a bright spot in the future of gaming.
