The story mode is absolute peak. It's CINEMA. KINO, if you get what I'm saying. It's the kind of campaign that will stick with you. Even after years of not playing it I still remember the campaigns fondly. I can't recommend it enough over 2019 modern slopfare 2. If you just want to play the campaign, you can buy on sale if you want. BUT this review isn't about that, it's about multiplayer... [h1]DO NOT PLAY.[/h1] This goes for ALL older Call of Duty titles, some even as recent as WWII. Like every other abandoned CoD title, it's a serious security hazard nowadays and full of hackers, I don't know why it's still allowed on Steam, seeing as Valve tend to take security seriously like when other malicious games (like cryptominers/stealers) are reported. When I say hackers, I don't just mean cheats like godmode, aimbot, wallhacks. Yes, you'll see those in every lobby, but I mean there are actual hackers that can [b][u]RCE you and access your PC and get your IP address through a vulnerability.[/u][/b] They can even install their hacks to your client somehow, so you'll end up with a cheat menu too (I presume this is to try to get you banned, but I don't think anyone has gotten banned from this game in over a decade). Unfortunately I don't know of any currently functional alternatives that will let you play this without said vulnerabilities or hackers. Plutonium launcher has classic MW3 which is the closest you'll get to classic MW2. They also have BO1, BO2, and WaW. This is the only safe way to play these titles sadly.
