The decision to introduce ranked play midway through Season One is a deliberate one. It allows both returning and new players to become acquainted with the game and its new modes before the complexity of ranked gameplay is added. Further details about the ranked mode will be disclosed by Treyarch in due course.
The CoD: Next event also provided an exclusive glimpse into the 20 playable launch maps. Among them, 16 are inspired by the original 2009 title, while the remaining four include three Large-Scale Battle Maps and one colossal ‘War’ Map. The developer has exciting plans for the future, with additional maps set to be added in upcoming seasons. Season One will kick off this process by introducing three new maps, followed by three more in Season Two. By the end of the game’s live season, players can expect a total of 12 6v6 maps, each with its distinct locales.
