If you don’t think Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer is sweaty enough for you, then this bit of news should make you glad, as Treyarch has announced that Modern Warfare 2 Ranked Play will be arriving sometime in 2023!

However, it seems that for older Call of Duty games like last year’s Vanguard and 2020’s Black Ops Cold War, Ranked Play will be retiring later this month.

Modern Warfare 2 Ranked Play Details:

Here’s the complete announcement from Treyarch, which we presume is the studio handling the mode instead of Infinity Ward.

#CONFIRMED: Ranked Play arrives on #ModernWarfare2 in 2023, and we’re working with our partners to deliver:

Competitive Modes ✅
Ranked Skill Divisions ✅
Visible Skill Ratings ✅
Top 250 Leaderboard ✅
Competitive Rewards ✅

In the meantime, #ModernWarfare2 players can throw down in the CDL Moshpit, arriving at the start of Season 01. We’ll have more details about what and where you’ll be playing closer to the launch.

As Ranked Play moves forward, we’ll begin retiring #BlackOpsColdWar League Play and #Vanguard Ranked Play this month. Players should grab their remaining rewards by Nov. 22nd in both titles.

The success of these modes has directly contributed to the future of Ranked Play. We sincerely thank you for all the data, feedback, and time played that was collected over the past two years. We look forward to sharing more soon!

That’s a bummer for those still playing Ranked on the older games, but it’s to be expected to be honest. Hopefully Ranked Play launches without a hitch. Once we know more, we’ll let our readers know.
