Ranked Play is finally arriving in Modern Warfare 3 with Season 1 Reloaded, giving players a few weeks to start grinding and getting their rank and Skill Division up. Better yet, there are in-game rewards on offer based on your performance in ranked — here’s what’s available.
Ranked Play is the perfect place for Call of Duty players looking to play something a little more competitive, playing the game the way the pros play it and able to start climbing the Skill Divisions.
This year’s Ranked Play system works the same as it did in Modern Warfare 2, but you can read our full MW3 ranked explainer if you need to catch up on the rules, maps, modes, and ranks in the game.
While most will be playing to rank up and prove that they’re an elite Call of Duty player, fighting for the rank next to their name, there are also rewards on offer to make things a little more enticing.
