Games are a bit thin on the ground and particularly so for those that will run on a laptop with a graphics card that is a couple of years old. However, I have bought Call Of Duty (thank you, Aspyr) and it does rock pretty hard. While I'm reduced to 800x600, it does fly along pretty well and so I'd be well interested in more of the same (just working my way through the SAS missions on the Dams at the moment). My only concern is that I pretty much suck at shooters and so a double-hard bastard version isn't much of a turn-on. Is it really that rock-hard or can a complete pleb at least make progress? Bear in mind that the Pegasus Bridge level when all the tanks turn up took me ages to complete... Release…the…Mac…version

The missions are bolder, prettier, and arguably more cohesive than those in the original game, and all of the new weapons are a great fit. I've also yet to touch multiplayer, but I can tell you it's worth the price for the single-player campaign alone. Totally glad I splurged and picked this one up. United Offensive is grand.

I might still pick it up though. Occasionally people from the ex-LAN come around to play sometimes..

I've only played the first 2 missions but both are quite explosive. Call of Duty was unique for making you feel more like a soldier and less like an unstoppable war god. United Offensive furthers this. Like Flip said you really feel like there is a whole lot going on and you are just a small part of it. Well I did in fact get it and its pretty cool.
