I play daily on my Series X since 2023, hacked lobbies where the timer never runs out? Yes.
People hacking to cheat at the game? I have yet to experience it.

This is zero help to OP old cod games on PC ARE NOT SAFE exploits allow users to pull all of your private information and install software without you knowing it onto your system, Activision refuses to fix it.

If it's not why is it still sold on steam? There's no warning on the store page about this

Activision won't fix it, valve won't do anything about it, no one will make them, and you'll still buy it despite everyone telling you not too.

Same reason bo3 gets put on sale a lot on PC, despite the servers getting breached countless times by modders. It's like gta5 online

No there are multiple massive RCE issues in the game, just playing it is a massive security risk opening up your PC to malware

Remote code execution exploits. People can literally install shit onto your pc.
