Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.Worth buying? Here’s what 300 Steam reviews actually say.
A dark, brutal WWII campaign and the birthplace of Zombies, still great, but new Steam buyers can't create an online profile, so multiplayer and co-op are broken. Skip it if you want online play.
Great for
Solo campaign fans and Zombies players who like dark, gritty WWII shooters
Main risk
You can't create an online profile, so multiplayer and co-op don't work without third-party clients

“Probably the best WW2 campaign in a game, you play through 2 perspectives: A Russian soldier moving through the eastern front, and an American soldier in the Pacific theater.”

“Activision's internal CD keys ran out and it seems like they can't be asked to restock them so you're basically getting a dud copy of the game whenever you buy it off steam.”
