Ranked Play Unlocks At Level 55
Modern Warfare 3 introduces Ranked Play mode, allowing players to compete with the same maps, modes, and rulesets as the Call of Duty League. Climbing Skill Divisions and earning exclusive cosmetic rewards are part of the experience.
Ranked Play becomes available after reaching at least Level 55, featuring permanent ranks and a progression system based on personal and team performance. All unrestricted gameplay items are unlocked for use in Ranked Play, regardless of how much you’ve previously unlocked. Some weapons, Killstreaks, Equipment, and gameplay content are restricted in Ranked Play to match CDL competitive rules.
● Rank: You will begin at Rank 1. Your rank represents your Ranked Career. Win matches to earn stars and rank up. Rank is permanent and persists across seasons.
● Skill Division: You will start your first Season in Bronze I. Advance through 8 Skill Divisions and Tiers by earning SR (Skill Rating)*. SR is awarded when you win based on personal and team performance. In subsequent seasons, you will be dropped back three Tiers. The highest Skill Division you can start a new season in is Diamond I.
● Hot Streak: Win three matches in a row to earn a flaming rank. Continue winning to progress the Hot Streak flames. The flames expire if you lose or after 72 hours.
