A copy each

How it plays

  • The whole campaign can be played in co-op by up to four online, and Nazi Zombies has four players hold a building against ever-stronger waves, spending points on doors and weapons.

  • Competitive multiplayer adds tanks to the class-based modes.

  • On Xbox, through the backward-compatible Xbox 360 version, two can share one screen; the PC version has no split-screen.

  • There is no crossplay, so everyone needs a copy on the same platform.
