Like a surrealistic modernization of the 1914 Christmas Truce (open in new tab), Call of Duty: Warzone 2 players put aside their disagreements and lay down their weapons in the name of a short cab ride. War is hell.

A Warzone 2 player named crescendummain, discovered by VG247 (open in new tab), nimbly drives around the Warzone 2 map in a chop-top, stopping beside his opponents and using the game's proximity voice chat (open in new tab) (if you can convince them to lick you with bullets) and give them a ride to a destination of their choosing.

Miraculously, it actually seems to work. After coaxing a trio of strangers into getting into his car, crescendummain drove them to the Hydroelectric location on Warzone 2's Al Mazrah map, sticking to the road to provide the smoothest ride possible. They stuck to the road to provide the smoothest ride possible, not even letting the rain of bullets vaporize him after they were dropped off! Truly a testament to the generous spirit of mankind.

Well, almost, anyway; there must be a lot of videos in the crescendummain folder that didn't work out like the one above. Still, it's always fun to see such organic absurdity come from a system designed for something much, much different.

Call of Duty Warzone 2 players are not the only ones who have stumbled upon this sideline; players throughout Al Mazrah have given a whole new meaning to the term "five-star general" by joining the lucrative ridesharing meta. For example, a TikToker named ziccs (via Eurogamer (opens in new tab)) has been making big bucks by picking up customers all over Al Mazrah: he received a 4510% tip on a $100 fare.

And there are many more: 5 million different social media platform players and streamers moonlight as Warzone 2 drivers. Here are a few examples.

This is clearly the most important story to come out of Call of Duty: Warzone 2, but it is not the only one. Earlier today, it was revealed that Warzone 2 (a free-to-play base game) is inexplicably locking players out (opening in a new tab) and requiring them to purchase Modern Warfare 2 before they can play. Meanwhile, players who had access to the game lamented its "Microsoft Excel" looting system (opens in new tab). But don't worry, as our Warzone 2 review (opens in new tab) shows, it does nothing to dull the brilliance of the game's wonderful maps (or the Uber drivers who transport you).
