Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.Worth buying? Here’s what 300 Steam reviews actually say.
A beloved Call of Duty with a branching-story campaign and strong zombies, but official PC multiplayer is unsafe and dead, and the price is high. Skip it if you want safe online play.
Great for
Campaign and zombies fans and nostalgic players who buy on sale and use Plutonium for online
Main risk
Unpatched RCE exploits make official multiplayer unsafe, and the game costs a lot for its age
