Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War multiplayer adds a much-anticipated feature that PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC players have been asking for since launch. More specifically, Treyarch’s community manager, on Reddit, has confirmed that Ranked Play is coming to the game, but the community manager doesn’t currently have a timetable to share. And at the moment there are no details on how it will be implemented and what it means for the multiplayer mode of the game.
For example, it’s unclear whether casual playlists will continue to use skill-based matchmaking, also known as SBMM. A ranked mode and an informal mode with SBMM are more or less the same thing, so adding the ranked mode would assume that SBMM will be removed, or at least reduced, in casual playlists. For now, however, this is just speculation.
While Treyarch has confirmed that the feature is in the works, there is unfortunately no message when it will be implemented or when more details will be shared.
It is also unclear why Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War doesn’t come with a ranked mode, and it’s also unclear why it hasn’t been added yet. It’s been in high demand since launch, but we’re two months away from release and it’s still not added.
In addition to a ranked mode, it also looks like Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is getting ready to add one of Modern Warfare Programs most controversial weapons. Aside from this, there’s not much going on with the game at the moment, but tomorrow when the game’s mid-season update goes live, this should change.
