The PC version earned a 93 out of 100. Call of Duty: United Offensive was developed by Gray Matter Interactive which later merged into Treyarch, the company who developed Call of Duty 2: Big Red One and Call of Duty 3. Treyarch also developed the Call of Duty game, named Call of Duty: World at War that came out on November 2008. However, some sources have reported that Infinity Ward may have renegotiated their contract with Activision so that the studio would be the sole developer of the FPS series beyond Call of Duty: World at War[6][7]
