Modern Warfare 2 recently changed its UI, making it easier than before to add friends for multiplayer or Warzone 2. Here’s everything you need to know about completing the simple process.
Modern Warfare 2 players labeled the game’s UI as the “worst in CoD history.” Activision heard the feedback loud and clear and committed to improvements. In the November 22 update, the developers followed through with their promise, improving the camo menus.
