Some background: i picked up Modern Warfare on my uncle's One X back when the game launched and I almost immediately fell in love with co-op.

now, in 2025, i'm coming back from Black Ops 7 Endgame to experience what one of my top 3 CODs was like again. but unfortunately either I sit in the queue for 10 minutes to find a match of Crosswind or Headhunter and literally no other operation.

survival? can't find anyone. somehow.

classic? also no one. somehow.

"ok, well, just do multiplayer." i was a huge Ground War fan (still am) but i keep running into the same hacker (not putting names) over and over again and it only gets so fun after a while of fighting the same people i just fought last match.
