Modern Warfare 3 Update: Ranked Play Introduction Delayed
Activision has announced that the highly anticipated Season 1 Reloaded update for Modern Warfare 3 will be delayed. The new feature, Ranked Play, will not be available immediately after the update is released.
In an official tweet from the Call of Duty Updates account, Activision confirms that Ranked Play will not be accessible right away after the Season 1 Reloaded update rolls out today, January 17th, at 9 AM Pacific Time / 12 PM Eastern Time / 5 PM UK Time on all platforms. The developers intend to conduct tests before enabling the ranked mode, as explained by Activision.
“Attention players, Ranked Play in Modern Warfare 3 will not be available immediately after the Season 1 Reloaded update,” Activision informs. “The Ranked Play team will run checks before enabling the mode for all players. Stay tuned for more updates.”
The duration of the wait for players to access Ranked Play after the Season 1 Reloaded update is unclear, but hopefully, the delay will be brief.
Ranked Play in Modern Warfare 3, when introduced, will allow players to climb rankings and divisions in 4v4 competitive matches, following the same rules (settings, maps, and modes) as the Call of Duty League.
How does it work? The ranking level becomes available when a player reaches at least level 55 of experience. All gameplay items are unrestricted for use in Ranked Play, regardless of when they were unlocked. Certain weapons, Killstreaks, equipment, and gameplay content are limited in Ranked Play to adhere to CDL’s competitive rules. As expected, friendly fire is active in all Ranked Play matches.
While waiting for the release of Ranked Play, players can always enjoy other attractions and consider their favorite installments of Call of Duty. Curious to know which ones are the highest-rated by the IGN editorial team?
