Yes, Modern Warfare servers are still active in 2024

As a Call of Duty fanatic who has put days of playtime into each new title, I‘m happy to report that Modern Warfare (2019) and Warzone servers are still online and kicking in 2024 with thriving playerbases.

Modern Warfare 2019 Multiplayer Stays Strong

According to ActivePlayer.io, over 50,000 players are logging into MW 2019‘s multiplayer modes daily on console.

PlayStation32,000
Xbox23,000

While these figures represent a drop from the game‘s late 2019/early 2020 peak, they show a dedicated community keeping matches flowing even against tough competition from newer franchise entries.

Hopping into Team Deathmatch as a solo player, I still reliably match within seconds to full 6v6 lobbies. Playing at various times of day, MW 2019 matchmaking feels essentially as quick as at launch over 3 years later.

Reddit and forum posts echo my experience. MW 2019 fans praise the continued healthy populations allowing the fantastic core gameplay to shine.

With MWII adopting a similar gritty, tactical design philosophy, I expect the MW 2019 community to remain intact for years ahead. We‘ve seen Activision support older franchise titles with playlists and events for 5+ years after launch.

Warzone Caldera Player Count Holds Over 1 Million

The original Warzone map Verdansk was controversially removed in late 2022. But its replacement – Warzone Caldera – lives on as a game mode option within MW 2019.

Per Activison‘s Q3 2022 report, Warzone still had over 25 million monthly active users after the launch of Warzone 2.0. Estimates peg Caldera‘s current daily populations at 1-2 million across platforms.

Dropping into quads during peak hours, our squad fills up fast. While demonstrably smaller than Warzone 2.0, matchmaking only takes ~10 seconds to throw us into the wide mix of players that defines the Warzone experience.

The formula still offers intense, heart-pounding moments only battle royale provides – it‘s easy to forget you aren‘t on the latest map when in the heat of a final circle showdown.

Modern Warfare II Off to a Strong Start

As the direct sequel to 2019‘s Modern Warfare, MWII adopts the same authentic and tactical design that made its precursor a fan favorite.

Per SteamCharts, MWII averages over 100,000 concurrent players daily on PC alone little over a month post-launch.

PlatformAverage Players
Steam (PC)96,000 players

Factoring Xbox and PlayStation into the equation, it‘s safe to estimate total MWII daily populations exceeding 500,000 players.

Queuing into MWII 6v6 faceoff playlists, matchmaking again only takes seconds to throw us into full lobbies with no bots.

The skill-based matchmaking does ramp up the challenge compared to MW 2019. But considering Warzone 2.0 now serves as the main platform for casual play, the sweatier competition is welcome.

MWII feels poised to remain relevant for years based on Sledgehammer‘s strong post-launch support of Vanguard (2021). The meaningful weapon balancing, map additions, and meta-shifting events all continue the drip feed of content Multiplayer fans crave.

Warzone 2.0 Off to a Hot Start

As Call of Duty‘s flagship platform moving forward, all eyes are on Warzone 2.0 and its new map Al Mazrah.

Activison reported Warzone 2.0 amassed over 25 million players in its first 5 days. Hype around the substantial next evolution of Warzone has translated into full servers.

Jumping into quads sessions during peak evening times, our squad consistently loads into matches in under 5 seconds. Lobbies fill up fast with the full 150 players for the trademark Warzone chaos.

Reddit and social channels do complain of late night latency issues as player counts presumably drop off. But community sentiment appears largely positive so far.

Given Warzone‘s status as a live service driving future franchise engagement, expect Al Mazrah to remain populated for years ahead post-launch.

While older Call of Duty titles inevitable cede ground to the latest release, they have incredible staying power.

Activision supports past franchise entries with events, updates, and backwards compatibility for as long as plausible to keep players engaged across the catalogue.

With both influenced by 2019‘s seminal Modern Warfare, MWII and Warzone 2.0 are driving more players back into the original MW multiplayer and Warzone Caldera as well.

As an avid CoD gamer playing nightly since the days of Call of Duty 2 (2005), I‘m confident players squadbing up in Modern Warfare have plenty of action left through 2023 and beyond.

Hopping into Team Deathmatch right now, I instantly matchmaked into a 6v6 match on Shipment, with the Kill Confirmed score racing upwards chaotically just as I remember.

The servers live on, and the MW community continues to thrive. See you in match!
