While the CDL rages on, Call of Duty players enjoy playing like pros, and the Ranked Play mode is the best place to do it. Here's what we know so far about Ranked Play, as well as an official release date.
While most Call of Duty games have a Ranked Play mode, Infinity Ward prefers not to include one. Instead, Infinite Warfare and Modern Warfare included competitive playlists with the same maps and rulesets as the league, but without ranks to grind through.
Players are aiming to play like the CDL pros throughout the competitive season, grinding the ranks and earning free rewards following the release of Modern Warfare 2.
Here's all we know about the Modern Warfare 2 Ranked Play mode, including when it will be released.

Play ranks and rewards in Modern Warfare 2 are ranked.
The Modern Warfare 2 Season 2 blog explains what players may expect from Ranked Play in 2023.
Seven Skills Divisions will be included in Ranked Play, from the lowest Bronze Division to the very top with the Iridescent Division. Players will also be able to climb into the Top 250, which is regarded as the cream of the crop.
"Your name will be displayed on a special Top 250 leaderboard" if you make it past Iridescent into the Top 250.
Modern Warfare 2 players will have a Skill Rating, otherwise known as SR, which will determine your Skill Division, so that's the number you'll want to see increase after each match.
Modern Warfare 2 Ranked Play will include a different set of ranks, separate from SR or Skill Divisions. This will allow players to climb from Ranks 1 to 50, unlike SR.
Every player will start at Rank 1 and Every 5 Ranks will update the player's Rank icon and "award a set of exclusive Ranked Play rewards, including skins at Rank 5 and 50."
Players may expect to earn Skill Division Skins based on their highest rank in a given season. The first time you finish in the Gold Division or above will receive an exclusive one-time reward.
The developers have yet to reveal all of the names as well as all of the rewards, but we'll continue to update you whenever more information becomes available.
