The verdict
A short, cinematic CoD campaign with varied set pieces and a cliffhanger ending, but multiplayer is dead, the PC port is shaky and the price is high. Skip it if you want online play.
Great for
Solo players who want a short, varied cinematic CoD campaign, ideally bought on sale
Main risk
Progress-blocking bugs and stutter on modern PCs, plus dead online modes, for a high price
