Warzone devs announce plans to add Ranked Play in future ActivisionIn a private meeting with creators about the future of Call of Duty: Warzone, the developers revealed that they are interested in bringing Ranked Play to the battle royale title \u2013 but have some reservations. With games like Apex Legends and Fortnite overtaking Warzone on Twitch, the battle royales\u2019 differences have unsurprisingly come under the community microscope. Outside of gameplay mechanics, the biggest advantage Apex and Fortnite have over CoD\u2019s BR is easily ranked play. When Warzone\u2019s biggest streamer, NICKMERCS, made the switch to Apex, he was candid about how important Ranked is: \u201cHaving that successful ranked mode to grind makes such a difference.\u201d With that context, Warzone\u2019s players have long wondered about the addition of a ranked playlist. Popular streamer and competitor Aydan even outlined his ideal competitive system. Now, the devs are finally explaining their ranked intentions. Warzone devs confirm Ranked Play plans Warzone leadership said they are interested in a Ranked Play for Warzone, but ‘have to do it right’ and about balancing out ‘timing’ of it. https:\/\/t.co\/zJJa8wNQK7 \u2014 CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL) February 11, 2022 During the private session with CoD influencers, the devs apparently confronted the topic of ranked play. Game Director Josh Bridge told creators that they are interested in adding the highly requested mode: \u201cWe want to do Ranked right.\u201d As far as what \u2018doing it right,\u2019 Bridge elaborated that they are concerned with the \u201ctiming of it.\u201d Further, they are conscious of Warzone Pacific\u2019s bugginess and, as far as adding Ranked, they \u201cdon\u2019t want to come out and do it broken.\u201d While CoD players eagerly anticipate Vanguard ranked on February 17, the devs will also be able to use that system as a framework for Warzone. Vanguard\u2019s Ranked Play will be a return to WWII\u2019s ELO format, which players are much keener on than Black Ops Cold War\u2019s version. For further inspiration, Raven Software will also be able to take some cues from Apex Legends and Fortnite. It remains to be seen precisely when Warzone will receive a ranked playlist or how it will play out. Still, this is the first time they\u2019ve ever even mentioned an interest in it, so players will likely appreciate these tentative plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
