Hardcore Call of Duty fans will be pleased to find that Ranked Play is coming to Modern Warfare 2, but some may be perplexed by the fact that it will not be available until 2023. After all, Activision normally publishes a new Call of Duty game every year, so it seems like Modern Warfare 2 Ranked Play will be rendered outdated in no time. However, industry sources claim that Call of Duty is ditching its yearly release plan and will instead continue to concentrate on Modern Warfare 2 in 2023, which might explain the move. It’s worth noting that Activision has rejected allegations that no new Call of Duty game would be released in 2023, so fans should keep that in mind.
Some fans believe that Ranked Play will be a good solution to the Call of Duty skill-based matching problem, however this will not be the case with Modern Warfare 2. There has been no indication that the introduction of a separate Ranked mode would alter anything about Modern Warfare 2 SBMM in quick play, and SBMM is unlikely to be phased out anytime soon, if ever.
