Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War Ranked Mode May Be Here Sooner Than You Think

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players have been pushing for a Ranked Mode in the game ever since its release. Now, there is some indication that the developers have given in to the popular demand to bring the Ranked Mode back.

Skill-Based Matchmaking or SBMM has been a center of controversy for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, with many fans wanting a ranked mode in its stead. Many players criticize it saying that it drains the fun out of competitive CoD.

While we do not know if the developers are finally going to do away with SBMM, if rumors are believed, the players may get the Ranked Mode that they desire so much.

According to CoD leaker Tom Henderson, the Ranked Mode may be introduced to the games by the end of March 2020.

Henderson, who has had an excellent track record in CoD news, said that the players would get the ranked play mode within the first quarter of 2020.

He believes that the mode will be added to the game by the end of March, but he did not provide a specific release date.

The ranked mode, when added to the game, is expected to be called League Play. Initially introduced in Black Ops 2, it has been featured in most CoD games but was visibly absent from 2019’s Modern Warfare, one of the big reasons for its SBMM controversy.

Although Henderson’s leaks have proven to be accurate in the past, with no official news from Activision or Treyarch, players are advised to take this news with a grain of salt. It may be very likely that the game keeps SBMM for the standard game modes while also introducing a ranked mode.

League Play Is Coming Soon To Black Ops Cold War (Ranked Mode)

There may be another possibility that no ranked mode is introduced.

However, if Henderson is correct about the ranked mode, the players may hear about it sooner or later. The players will either get to know about it within the last few weeks of Season One or during the second season of the Call of Duty League, which is set to begin within the next few months.

It would also make total sense for the developers to introduce Ranked Play in concurrence with the first weekend of the competition during Season Two, although we are yet to hear any official statement.
