The verdict
A faithful, great-looking remaster of the classic CoD4 campaign, but the PC port is notoriously crashy, multiplayer is dead and unsafe, and the price is high. Skip it if you want multiplayer or hate troubleshooting.
Great for
Nostalgic players who want the CoD4 campaign with modern visuals and achievements, bought on sale
Main risk
Crashes, launch errors or missions that won't load, forcing workarounds or leaving the game unplayable
