What is "play again" in Modern Warfare 2 Season 5 Reloaded?

The "play again" feature has been adapted from Call of Duty: Warzone in MW2's multiplayer experience. Its addition in the Season 5 Reloaded update is centered around improving community interaction. After playing a match solo, players and designated party leaders will have the option of sticking together to queue for the next match.

As discussed above, this feature has been added to enhance the community's experience of gaming together and exploring opportunities to find gaming buddies over the course of their matches.

The update includes a "friend recommender" feature that suggests new squadmates to players. It operates in two ways:

1. It will suggest friends of friends to help players get mutually connected.
2. It will suggest users who prefer to play in the players' queuing times, similar game modes, etc.

We believe this minor update will certainly age well. These additions aim to help players find a social circle with shared interests and may foster strong virtual bonds between online strangers.
