Competitive
Ranked Play
Status, modes, rules and pro builds
Ranked Play isn't in MW4 yet and Activision hasn't given a date. The launch roadmap runs to Season 1 on 6 November with no Ranked entry. In recent Call of Duty games Ranked has arrived a season or two after launch, built on the Call of Duty League ruleset.
Competitive modes
Hardpoint
Hold the hill as it rotates around the map. Public matches are first to 250 with the hill moving every 60 seconds.
Search & Destroy
One life per round: plant or defuse the bomb, or wipe the other team.
Hijack
ReportedBoth teams fight over one Data Spike and plant it at the enemy Comm Station. Points tick while it stays planted, with a bonus on detonation. The Spike can be thrown or passed.
Pro builds
What Call of Duty League players ran in the launch-week tournaments. Expect the Han 86 and ISO Nightshade to be the ones to beat when Ranked opens.
Practise for Ranked now
The same modes are in public matches today. These are the classes we'd run in them.
