When did MW2 ranked play arrive in the game?
MW2 players had to wait a fair while for the ranked play mode to launch in Modern Warfare 2, as it didn't arrive until Season 2. For reference, that was 15 February 2023, a whole three months after Modern Warfare 2 originally launched.
That said, Call of Duty fans did enjoy the mode once it launched, with plenty of classes emerging from the meta to help them earn more SR as quickly as possible.
What is ranked mode in MW2?
Ranked play is a more intensive and competitive part of the game, designed to give the most competitive players somewhere to compete and earn ranks. Ranked play has been a part of the Call of Duty series for years, and a fan-favourite feature of MW2.
The MW2 ranked mode had Treyarch leading development on it, and works similarly to how CDL matches are played. That means four-player teams, objective game modes, and limits on your available weapons and equipment.
