The verdict
A legendary 2009 shooter with an iconic campaign and chaotic multiplayer. Official online is plagued by hackers and RCE exploits, so skip multiplayer unless you use a community client.

Nostalgic CoD fans and campaign players willing to use a community client for multiplayer
Main risk
Official multiplayer is full of cheaters and RCE exploits that can compromise your PC
