On November 11, Infinity Ward confirmed that both the multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone will introduce Ranked Play in Season 2. While the launch season and scope have been clarified, the exact start date for Season 2 has not yet been announced.
Infinity Ward stated that the team is working with Treyarch and Raven Software to complete the relevant content. However, the rules, tier structure, matchmaking system, rewards, and entry requirements for Ranked Play have not been disclosed.
This weekly update also mentioned improvements to hit-scan and ballistic mechanics, but did not disclose specific values or implementation details. These adjustments will be rolled out alongside subsequent changes such as Ranked Play.
The team also plans to modify the Hijack mode, aiming to prevent matches from ending directly in a draw. Options under consideration include adding an overtime mechanism or adopting alternative resolution methods, with the final approach yet to be confirmed.
