Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's Ranked Play will begin on February 15, with the launch of the Season 2 update. The mode will follow the rules set by the Call of Duty League (CDL), meaning it will feature 4v4 competitive multiplayer matches that are restricted to specific game modes. The matches will be divided into three game modes: Hardpoint, Search & Destroy, and Control. The game will also feature eight new skill divisions: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Crimson, Iridescent, and Top 250. Ranks are an additional form of levelling system, that serve as bragging rights in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. They range from Rank 1 to Rank 50, denoted by different emblems. Advancing through ranks is as simple as winning a competitive match, which grants a Star each, which goes towards levelling up. As an end-of-season reward, Call of Duty will dole out custom skins based on the highest Skill Division players achieved. These are only available to players who maxed out at Gold tier and above, while Bronze and Silver rankers get a new emblem. The mode is available across PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.
