With last year"s Call of Duty, Activision and developer Infinity Ward proved that there"s room for more explosive World War II-themed action franchises on the PC than just Medal of Honor. Now an expansion pack for Call of Duty, titled United Offensive, is in development at Gray Matter, itself a veteran of WWII games with the critically acclaimed Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Activision gave us an updated look at United Offensive recently to show off some of the impressive additions Gray Matter has made to Call of Duty"s already solid core gameplay.
United Offensive may be an expansion pack in name, but it"ll bring a lot more than just new maps to the table. In addition to the expected array of new rifles and sidearms, a number of more unique weapons will join the mix, such as a flamethrower, a bazooka, a portable machine gun, and a smoke grenade. To use the machine gun, you will need to go prone or mount it on a windowsill to fire it.
