Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has over a dozen game modes and it can be difficult to queue into the modes you want to play due to the overcomplicated user interface (UI). The UI which was heavily criticized at launch is being worked on but until then, we have to deal with it to get to play our favorite game modes. Team Deathmatch is one of the game modes available in Modern Warfare 2 and here is how you can guarantee that you always queue into the game mode.
