The party system in this game is terrible. I found a workaround using an Xbox. No restarts required.


  • PC host waits at Cold War home screen (before selecting zombies)

  • PC host sets party limit to 5 and friends only

  • Xbox account has closed party and accepts friend requests from clients

  • PC host adds Xbox account's Activision ID as friend

  • Xbox account joins PC host's party from friends list

  • Xbox account's friends join PC host's party from friends list

  • Once clients join, Xbox account leaves PC host's party

  • Host starts zombies game with party


Clients have no trouble joining Xbox Activision IDs. PC is the problem.

Add a second Xbox account and Activision ID if you host both free and paid. Switch quickly from the title screen.

Clear your Activision friends often and stay below 50 or your account will be bricked.

This method makes free hosting easy. It's a free-for-all to join your party.

Managing friends and parties is easier with a controller unless you have to type IDs.
