DO NOT BUY, REPORT TO STEAM

POTENTIALLY EXPOSED TO VULNERABILITY CVE-2018-20817

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-20817

With XLabs being killed off by Activision, Plutonium and likely H1 next on the chopping block, there is no safe way to play this game or any other Classic CoD on PC anymore. Activision wants you to completely forget about their legacy and go play their newest game and buy tons of bundles.

MWR is exposed to CVE-2018-20817, a massive security risk allowing hackers to execute Remote Code Executions and gain control of your PC to upload malicious files just by playing online and matching with them ingame, nearly exactly like it happens with Black Ops 2, 3 and every other Classic CoD from 2007 - 2018. While H1 is still around for now, it's likely going to be taken down not long after Plutonium goes. The game itself also suffers major issues outside of the vulnerability, including an issue where the game will not launch unless set to windowed in safe mode. Even if H1 somehow survives Activision's cease and desist onslaught, the multiplayer servers are almost always dead even with the client. I would have recommended buying this for SM², but of course that got C&D'd as well.

If Activision won't consistently update these games, and won't let the community fix them, they need to be taken off the store. This and the rest of the Classic CoD Games are practically malware at this point with the lack of updates.

TLDR: Don't buy or play online, you risk being ratted and having your PC controlled or info stolen from RCEs by doing so.
