Wondering how to use Pings in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2? Don't worry, we've got you covered.

Communication is vital to rack up wins in many multiplayer shooters and Call of Duty is no exception. This is where pinging comes in. A common feature used in many games that provides markers that pinpoint areas of interest and enemies making communication amongst players more efficient.

Recently, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has seen the removal of its ping system because of a major bug affecting gameplay. Reddit users had been reporting that they were able to ping opponents during the death screen and that players would remain marked for the entirety of the game. Obviously, this would make matches extremely unfair for those pinged as they could be easily located.

Infinity Ward is working on eliminating this bug so the ping system will return at some point. When that return does occur, it is important for players to understand how to use this helpful feature. Luckily for those confused, we have broken down the method to ping for you.
