Modern Warfare 3 Ranked Play features eight Skill Divisions, and to ensure competitive balance, the game mode has restrictions in place to prevent players from going up against competition ranked too high.
Ranked Play uses a Skill Division system. Everyone starts at the bottom, and CoD players either gain Skill Rating by winning matches or lose SR after a loss. Players are also judged on their individual and team performance and get rewarded or punished based on how they do on a match-to-match basis.
Each Skill Division has three tiers. For example, players must progress through Bronze I, II, and III before reaching Silver. At the start of each new season, users get set back three tiers to keep the experience fresh. With that out of the way, let’s jump right into the MW3 Skill Division restrictions.
Which MW3 Skill Divisions can play together?
Here are all of the Skill Division restrictions in MW3 Ranked Play. The player with the highest Skill Division in the party determines which party SR restrictions are used.
- Bronze through Platinum: Can party up without any restrictions.
- Diamond: Can party within two Skill Divisions.
- Iridescent and Top 250: Can party with players within one Skill Division.
