The Modern Warfare 3 Ranked Play maps and modes follow the rules used in the Call of Duty League, with a few exceptions. Check out all the maps and modes in MW3 Ranked Play for Season 3.

MW3 Ranked Play features different maps and modes for you to climb through the Ranks and Skill Divisions, allowing you to earn rewards as well. The competitive mode mimics the same rules and restrictions as the CDL while using the same limited pool of maps and modes.

Here’s a look at all the game modes and maps in MW3 Ranked Play in Season 3.

Modern Warfare 3 Ranked Play features three different game modes and seven maps, just like the CDL. However, in order to make the experience as smooth as possible, not all maps support each game mode.

6 Star was the new Season 3 introduction to Ranked Play for both SnD and Hardpoint. Meanwhile, Vista and Departures were removed on April 1, soon after their test period ended. However, Vista has returned to Ranked Play once again, as a map available in Hardpoint.

If new maps are introduced or any map is removed from the current pool, we’ll make sure to provide an update here.
