My GuideYou can follow all my instructions in my guide For CoD: Black Ops III starting from "Forwarding Methods" guide index except for CoD:WaW you ONLY need to port forward port:

For Co-Op (Zombies) (most likely only this one will be enough): and/or

For Multiplayer:https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=561836866

Important Note:CoD:WaW does NOT automatically use UPnP therefor you need to either Port Forward using my UPnP method to basically manually add the port to UPnP through your PC or Port Forward using the 2nd method I stated (default gateway router settings panel)

Checking Results

How to see if it worked?

You were successful if:

1. You can see other Co-Op sessions in the session browser (don't panic if you don't see any , there may be no-one playing)

or

2. Host a Co-Op Zombies lobby and invite your friends through the in game system and see if they (or any random players) can join without any issues. Start the game and enjoy
