The verdict
A cinematic, Kevin Spacey-led sci-fi CoD campaign with fun exo-suit movement, but the PC port suffers stutter and crashes and multiplayer is dead and unsafe. Skip it for multiplayer or at full price.
Great for
Players who want a short, cinematic single-player CoD campaign with futuristic exo-suit action, bought on sale
Main risk
Stutters, freezes and crashes on modern PCs, plus dead and unsafe multiplayer
