Singleplayer safe to play?

I used to have the game on Steam, but removed it after multiplayer became too dangerous to play. But lately, I've been thinking about playing the singleplayer again. As long as I strictly play on singleplayer, is it safe to play the game?

All COD singleplayer campaigns are safe to play. It's only when other humans are involved that there is a risk. You can play singleplayer campaign, private bot multiplayer and private zombies safely. The only risk is online multiplayer against other humans.

Multiplayer seems to be good lots of populates servers, never had any problems in mp but heard a few stories about hackers or something

A few years ago, there were widespread reports of hackers using weaknesses in the game's multipleyer to directly screw with their opponents' computers. It go so bad that people were warning others not to use the multiplayer, to the point where entire servers depopulated.

Seriously? There were tons of threads about it back in 2020.

That stuff happened on COD Black Ops 2. All the old CODs have the exploit. Black Ops 2 has always been very nasty with cheaters and then it turned to hacking players PCs. I've read enough to know MW2 and 3 are also pretty bad. Nothing terrible has happened with MW1 for me except the usual cheaters and crappy servers with dumb rules.. It does have the exploit risk. I read multiple people have the hack file. This is too toxic. It's just a video game. It shouldn't turn into a virus and security threat. Some people need psychiatric help or prison. smh

I get more joy out of Red Dead Redemption 2 singleplayer anyway. I don't care about COD multiplayer anymore. I used to be addicted to COD. lol

I recently got COD Cold War. That campaign is really good. I only play them for campaign now.

This is getting away from my original question. I know that the hack issue is proven to exist in multiplayer. What I want to know is, will I be safe if I'm only playing the single-player campaign with Steam in offline mode?
