Modern Warfare 3 Ranking Rules
In the realm of Modern Warfare 3 ranked play, progress is carefully measured through visible Skill Ratings (SR), which determine your ranking in 8 different skill categories. The journey begins at Bronze 1, with zero SR, and progresses as wins are accumulated, allowing players to advance through the various skill levels. On the contrary, failure leads to a decrease in SR, thus affecting the competitive trajectory.
The amount of SR gained or lost in each game is closely related to individual and team performance, and has a greater impact on the top management of the skill department. Eight skill groups, each containing three levels (1, 2 and 3), depict the competitive landscape from Bronze to the famous Iridescent level. Players can track their progress on the in-game leaderboard, which displays the top 250 individuals worldwide. Players who finish in first place at the end of each season perform well and wear unique business cards and badges, tangibly proving their prowess in the fierce world of ranked play.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3
“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III” is a first-person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision Blizzard. This game is the twentieth game in the “Call of Duty” series and the third game in the rebooted “Modern Warfare” sub-series, following the events of 2022’s “Modern Warfare II”.
The game was released on November 10, 2023 on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. “Modern Warfare III” retains the realistic and contemporary setting of the previous game and continues the overall narrative of the series.
The storyline revolves around the multinational Special Operations Forces Task Force 141 as they hunt down Vladimir Makarov, a Russian ultranationalist and terrorist who plans to incite World War III. The multiplayer portion of the game features remastered versions of all 16 base maps from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, with additional maps being prepared for post-launch updates.

“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” gameplay
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III offers similar gameplay to its predecessor, Modern Warfare II, and the broader Call of Duty series. It retains features such as slide to cancel, and introduces “open combat missions” in the campaign, allowing players to approach targets more freely.
In multiplayer mode, all 16 maps of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be accessible at launch. Players can vote for maps in the matchmaking lobby, a feature that has returned after being omitted from some recent games. The game also increases the player’s health, thereby extending the “time to kill” (TTK).
The “red dot” minimap, which was not present in Modern Warfare 2019, is back with a vengeance, showing the location of enemies when they fire unsuppressed weapons. Classic game modes like Kill Confirmed and Hardpoint are back, along with a new mode called Cutthroat. Ground War and War modes return with dedicated maps, and AI-driven moderation can identify and report toxic behavior. More than a dozen new multiplayer maps will be released at launch.
A highlight is the novel open-world PvE Zombies mode developed in partnership between Treyarch and Sledgehammer Games. Unlike traditional turn-based Zombies, it follows a DMZ mode structure, with up to 24 players forming squads to battle zombies and AI-controlled human enemies to complete objectives, collect loot, and extract items. The mode introduces “zones” instead of rounds, with escalating difficulty levels. Aetherstorms and narrative-driven story missions add depth to the experience.
