[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my VR mod gameplay here: https://youtu.be/lXi0ZRygAb0 Yes, you can now play CODWAW in VR with a VR mod released in alpha. It has 6DOF motion controls and head-tracking. However, it does not have 2-handedness or manual reloads. Most of the interactions are still button presses. Although you're only one-handing weapons, ADS is near perfect in VR. The only weapon that I found lacking was the LMG. The stationary LMGs use head aim, but they didn't seem to be accurate. The ones you can carry, well, I didn't see how to ADS. Game also runs pretty heavy. On my RTX 5090, I was getting anywhere from high 80s to 60 fps, but usually around 72 fps. I couldn't figure out how to get past some levels because you have to call in an air-strike at a particular target, but you can't aim in VR for it. So you can play offline multiplayer, COD zombies, and some single-player campaign levels with this mod. [b]VR Rating 6.5/10. It's in an alpha state, as long as it keeps being developed, it should be much better in the near future. So you may just want to wait to play this VR mod.[/b] [quote]I bought this game!

Performance wise, decent port considering most of the older CoD games are broken on new hardware and require many loopholes to play properly. This game doesn't require much in the way of fixes, aside from the lack of an FOV slider, which can be fixed by downloading CoD SCZ FOV changer. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this release as the game lacks Steam achievements, and even worse the multiplayer mode is broken and filled with hackers who use a P2P exploit to download viruses onto your computer. All it takes for your computer and personal information to be at risk is to simply join an online game with one of these hackers in the lobby. This game, and all older Call of Duty titles are all infected in this manner and it's highly recommended you download Alterware (Plutonium is not available for MW2) and use it to play multiplayer... which is all good and fine, but when you're still charging FULL PRICE for a 15 year old game, I expect it to be fully functional. Not only this, but Activision has not issued a warning regarding these exploits, meaning hundreds of users are unknowingly harming their computers due to corporate incompetence.
paid 60 dollars total for me and my friends to play this just to find out multiplayer doesn't work opened it with multiplayer setting just to have an all black screen. went to open it on the regular startup and it says i can start multiplayer mode.... yo what is wrong with games on steam?????
