Both titles allow you to not only add friends but also engage in proximity chat, where they can interact with others in the lobby who are not a part of their social circle. Moreover, with the addition of the crossplay feature, those who own the games on different systems can now play together seamlessly.

Adding friends was a simple process in earlier Call of Duty titles. However, the user interface might make using this basic social feature a little complicated. To add your friends to your in-game friend list, just follow the steps as shown below:

  • Launch MW2 or Warzone 2.
  • Next, navigate to your Social menu. To do so, head over to Menu, and select Social. Alternatively, you can launch the Social menu by pressing F2 on PC or R3 on PlayStation and Xbox systems.
  • Select Add Friends, type in your friend's Activision ID in the first text box, and click Send Request.

This will deliver the request to your friend, and they can accept it by heading to the Social menu and adding you from the Friend Requests tab. However, if you don't know how to find your Activision ID, check the section below.

  • Go to Settings and select Account & Network.
  • Next, click the Activision Account option under the Online section.
