Tell him to enable cross play....

hes on xb, its disabled on there....

in short, tell your xb friend to start a game of ground war/invasion. he will get a prompt to turn on crossplay and press yes, then he should be able to join you

Have you tried restarting your computer?

Unless the games been updated in the last few days that wont work. There's no in game option to enable or disable crossplay on xbox. Its a global account setting that they have to change in their xbox privacy settings that disables/enables crossplay for everything.

incorrect. This is what worked for me, on pc crossplay was disabled and i was only joining pc players, then went on ground war, saw the prompt and then i was suddenly joining all platforms afterwards, have the screenshots to prove it

You can't turn off crossplay on pc. Are you confusing things with MW1? Because it was an option in MW1. Only playstation has an actual toggle option in MW2 atm.

He probably had accidentally the specific XBox system option enabled that disables Crossplay

crossplay option was removed because they are afraid of upsetting the console/controller kiddies, its the only way they can kill people.

I get pc only lobbies all the time. I also get lobbies where the entire other side is only playstation users or only xbox users and I've had lobbies where I'm the only pc player in there. The matchmaking is weird and doesn't really mix and match consoles all that often.

The only version of MW2 that has a toggle to turn off crossplay is on the playstation. You cannot turn it off on PC. The option doesn't exist and on xbox the only way to turn off crossplay is to do it from the account privacy settings in the console itself.

this thread isnt about turning crossplay off though, ops xb friend doesnt have it on in the first place and therefore cannot play with op, only way IS to start a game of ground war, instantly leave then he can join other platforms

And as I said earlier, that literally wont do anything on the xbox. He has to enable crossplay in the privacy settings on his console.
