There are two ways to find friends in your Modern Warfare game. You can use someone’s Activision ID or add them through the network you’re playing on. For example, if you are playing on the PlayStation network, you can find them through this medium and then add them to your Modern Warfare playlist. Although, if you’re trying to add someone playing on different platforms, you will need to use their Activision ID to make your job easier.
