When Is Ranked Play Coming to Modern Warfare 3?

Ranked play has become an vital part of online gaming in recent years and we expect it to become core of MW3 pretty soon. Here’s everything you need to know about when ranked play starts in Modern Warfare 3.

MW3 Ranked Play Start Date?

Activision revealed during the COD Next event that Ranked Play will come out Season 1 of MW3.

Developers pointed out during the interview that they want players to get used to all the new mechanics, weapons, and maps before introducing ranked mode to the game. As such, we expect ranked mode to roll out in December of this year, or maybe next January. Bear in mind that this is just speculation though, as Activision hasn’t yet revealed the definitive date when ranked will be added.

What Should You Expect From Call of Duty Ranked?

In MW2, players had a chance to experience the same kind of gameplay present in the COD League. With all the rules, maps, modes, and restrictions being the same, players will experience the ultimate form of competitive Call of Duty. These are the features we expect to come back for MW3 as well:

• COD League 4v4 team format
• Unrestricted items – all unrestricted weapons and attachments unlocked to provide a level playing field
• At least three game modes, including CDL Hardpoint, CDL Search & Destroy, and CDL Control
• Skill Rating (SR) points system used to determine player skill level with both team and individual performance in each game affecting your rating
• Seven different skill divisions and a special division for the top 250 players in the world

That is all the information we currently have on the ranked mode in Modern Warfare 3 and its release date. In the meantime, multiplayer will be an excellent warmup for ranked, and we have a guide covering the Best Weapons in MW3 that you can use to get ahead of the competition.
