one thing has remained constant throughout history--in war, no one fights alone. From the skies over Western Europe to the rolling plains of Russia, the Allies stood together against their common enemy and prevailed. In Call of TM Duty: United OffensiveTM you will be immersed in some of the most decisive battles of World War II. Become Corporal Scott Riley as you and your brothers in the besieged 101st airborne hold out in Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. Relive the career of S.O.E. operative James Doyle from your last bombing run as a gunner with the R.A.F. to the invasion of Sicily in 1943. Assume the role of Conscript Private Yuri Petrenko as you and your comrades take part in the events of the summer of 1943, from the Battle of Kursk to the final battle for the city of Kharkov. Whether in a small unit sabotaging an enemy train in occupied Europe, or part of an entire tank division advancing across the Russian steppes, one truth rings through: success in battle cannot be realized by any one man. Adversity cannot be overcome without unity, and victory can only be achieved through a United Offensive. 4 INSTALLATION A previous full installation of Call of DutyTM is required to play TM TM Call of Duty: United Offensive.
