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.

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.
