PlayOnLinux is a third party wrapper for Wine; it is not supported here.

The AppDB has entries for both games:

I help maintain the AppDB Wiki page for Steam. That's your first point of call!!

One of the problems with the Steam client is that it is a rapidly moving target. The frequent updates for it - lead constant breakage - until a patch finally percolates into a Wine release version...

Bear in mind - that even with wine 1.7.53 (the most recent release) you won't get the Steam store or Community tabs working. There is a patch that largely fixes the issue (with the chromium runtime) - see this patch - attached to bug 39403. Works for me - but it's a non-trivial exercise for a new Linux user to build Wine from source.

If COD is in your Steam library - then you should be able to get most of the basic functionality of Steam going (sans web client) - using a recent version of Wine 1.7.x
You may be able to play the COD games... Doesn't look like the COD AppDB pages are well maintained any more...
