Crashes and freezes25 of 300 (8%)
But the ones with the Gulag, Crash Site, Frozen Tundra and the attack on the Stadium in Verdansk feels copied from Modern Warfare 2 (2009) missions.

Will not launch or install14 of 300 (5%)
game is broken now and does not launch from a clean install.
Steam review, 14 July 2026 · 4 hours played · 47 readers marked it helpful
You cannot even launch the game without it forcing intrusive updates that conflict with basic OS architecture, demanding ridiculous BIOS modifications that put standard PC systems at risk.
Steam review, 23 August 2026 · 206 hours played · 1 readers marked it helpful
Servers and connection11 of 300 (4%)
extremely bad servers for zombies games, they only have 2 or 3 servers and all are lagging constantly or randomly disconnect you and you lose all containment level progress with characters.
Steam review, 24 July 2026 · 93 hours played · 33 readers marked it helpful
The game has some server issues, and even the $17.49 discount isn't worth it in my currency.

Performance and stutter9 of 300 (3%)
It's also not that the past reboot campaigns are some masterpieces of a single player fps experience, but this is just lazy.
Steam review, 30 June 2026 · 1 hours played · 47 readers marked it helpful
It's 100% on Activision's garbage servers and terrible optimization.

A further 8 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
