Modern Warfare 2 is the latest entry in the popular first-person shooter series Call of Duty. While the story mode and other online sections are available for purchase, players can enjoy the Battle Royale mode known as Warzone 2.0 for free. Most of the time, you will play Modern Warfare 2 with your friends. So in case you are seeing the ‘Friend Request Locked’ error, here is how to fix it in Modern Warfare 2.
How to Fix Modern Warfare 2 ‘Friend Request Locked’ Error
Bugs or glitches are shared among all games. Whether it’s an open-world RPG game or a multiplayer shooter. All of them have little bugs, but as long as they don’t break the game, they can be overlooked.
However, there are times when a simple bug will cause a lot of disturbance. In the case of Modern Warfare 2, there is a new bug that makes the friend request menu locked. Since most players tend to play this game with their friends, this will be a huge obstacle.
At the time of writing this article, there hasn’t been an official fix for this error, but there are methods that have worked for some players, and you should try them as well.
The first one is to restart Modern Warfare 2 or even your computer overall. There is a good chance the application can’t establish a good connection with the game’s servers, causing such an error to pop up.
The next method you should try is to ask your friend to send you a friend request and then accept it from the notification bar. You can find your Activision ID under the Account and Network option in the Settings menu.

And the last method you can use to send a friend request is to use the Call of Duty Companion app. You can download this free application for iOS and Android smartphones and manage your friends list by sending and accepting friend requests.
Hopefully, one of these methods will work for you; if it doesn’t, then you can wait until Activision releases a patch or update to fix it.
Modern Warfare 2 is now available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
