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.

In addition to other minor changes, the UI is slowly beginning to improve for the better. For example, a fix rolled out for a social menu bug in November, and an update made it easier to navigate the social menu.

Here’s how to add friends on Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, utilizing the new and improved interface.
