Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 5.57/day in the week to Sep 4 → 9.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

great game only got it because my xbox360 disc stopped working
First playthrough review time. If you are someone who likes Call of Duty games, you may already know the Black Ops series is often considered one of the stronger parts of the franchise. I had already finished this game in 2015, but it was not on Steam at that time. It includes a story-driven campaign set during the Cold War period, where missions are presented in different military situations and locations, with a focus on progression through varied scenarios. This is a direct sequel to Call of Duty: World at War. I have not played the multiplayer mode, but it is still available, though the number of active players is lower compared to newer titles. It also includes a Zombies mode where players survive waves of enemies across different maps, which adds another layer of replay content beyond the main campaign. Overall, the game is mainly remembered for its campaign, setting, and Zombies mode, while the online parts depend a lot on the current player base and platform availability. I liked playing through the campaign again after all these years.

The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 8: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Many players say this is the best CoD campaign ever, or one of the best, so I was very excited to play it. My take on this is simple, it is a really nice campaign, but I wouldn't say it's the best or so, yet, it is very enjoyable. It has its own moments, and it's literally a non-stop action marathon, packed with tense scenes. Even if the story is not bad, it's a cliché. I don't expect a BioShock from any CoD games, obviously, my point is just that I think it's always better to keep our excitement in bay - but it's freaking awesome to be eager for something :) The game looks satisfying overall. I've always admired the era of colorful games. I also liked the gunplay, handling the weapons was well created, and the voice actors (Sam Worthington, Gary Oldman, Ed Harris etc.) did a fantastic job. Definitely want to mention the main menu too, oh boy, I don't want to be too spoilerish, even if I know most of you are aware of it, but I daresay it's one of the best ever created. I didn't play too much of the multiplayer or the zombies mode, but both looked fun, and the remnants of the community of the multi didn't seem toxic so far, so altogether I think this is a good game, but I would recommend buying it when it's on sale.
queria jogar a campanha, paguei 109 reais kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk TROUXA DEMAIS (EU) Pedi reembolso. Vou nem comentar sobre o preço disso.... Minha educação não me permite.
even on sale for the base game it's a lot for how old the game is, then charging obscene amounts just to complete the set is a scummy move fr, 50% off but wait you gotta buy all the dlc packs if you want the full zombies and multiplayer experience which then equals the regular price basically when it's not on sale. yea buddy i ain't that desperate to spend $80 for a game that came out in 2010, maybe i ain't nostalgic enough but i sure asl ain't dumb
Title: WARNING: Critical Security Vulnerabilities (RAT Exploits) I strongly advise against purchasing or playing this game. The game has long been plagued by serious security vulnerabilities that allow attackers to gain remote access to players’ computers via so-called RCE (Remote Code Execution) exploits (RAT – Remote Access Trojan). These security risks have been known for years but have never been satisfactorily addressed in many of the older Call of Duty titles (from BO1 to BO3). Anyone who launches the game nonetheless is exposing their entire PC and personal data to unnecessary risk. It is unacceptable for a publisher like Activision to leave its players in such insecure environments. As long as these exploits have not been officially and permanently patched, installing this game poses a massive security risk. Please research the topic “CoD RCE exploit” yourself before launching the game. I have permanently uninstalled the game due to these security concerns. Titel: WARNUNG: Kritische Sicherheitslücken (RAT-Exploits) Ich muss dringend vom Kauf und vom Spielen dieses Titels abraten. Das Spiel ist seit langem von schwerwiegenden Sicherheitslücken betroffen, die es Angreifern ermöglichen, über sogenannte RCE-Exploits (Remote Code Execution) aus der Ferne Zugriff auf den Computer der Spieler zu erhalten (RAT – Remote Access Trojan). Diese Sicherheitsrisiken sind seit Jahren bekannt, wurden jedoch in vielen der älteren Call of Duty-Titel (von BO1 bis BO3) nie zufriedenstellend behoben. Wer das Spiel dennoch startet, setzt seinen gesamten PC und seine privaten Daten einem unnötigen Risiko aus. Es ist inakzeptabel, dass ein Publisher wie Activision seine Spieler in derart unsicheren Umgebungen allein lässt. Solange diese Exploits nicht offiziell und nachhaltig gepatcht wurden, ist die Installation dieses Spiels ein massives Sicherheitsrisiko. Bitte recherchiert das Thema „CoD RCE exploit“ selbst, bevor ihr das Spiel startet. Ich habe das Spiel aufgrund dieser Sicherheitsbedenken dauerhaft deinstalliert.
*ONLINE PLAY NOT RECOMMENDED! RISK OF MALICIOUS MALWARE!* -One of the best COD campaigns Treyarch ever created. -Multiplayer solo (with bots) or private matches are personally are still worth it. -BEST ZOMBIES EXPERIENCE!!! (solo or private match ONLY...see first sentence) (IMO, best DLC maps too, MP & ZMBZ)
Played this growing up, loved the game since. I'd say if you played on older consoles and didn't experience this you missed out.
This is my favorite call of duty please DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME at very least until activision sees fit to patch the ongoing RCE exploits plaguing every call of duty title released before infinite warfare.
Сюжетка хороша, но под конец сюжет слишком быстро начинает развиваться, а когда начинаются титры то будто бы есть чувство недосказанности. А еще меня смущает ценник за игру 15 летней давности как за новый AAA-проект
