After nearly two weeks, the developers have finally added a fan-favorite feature to MW3 Ranked Play in the Jan. 31 patch.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Ranked Play arrived in Season 1 Reloaded with an almost identical Ranked system to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Once again, players can progress through eight Skill Divisions, from Bronze to Top 250, as they compete in Hardpoint, Search & Destroy, and Control under the CDL Ruleset. Along the way, they can earn free in-game rewards as they embark on the climb to the worldwide leaderboard.

Now, just one week before MW3 Season 2 drops, a major feature was enabled that will make your Ranked Play experience feel a lot smoother.

Killcams have finally been enabled in MW3 Ranked Play in the Jan. 31 patch. The feature was noticeably absent in the competitive playlist, and fans have been asking for its addition to Ranked Play since the mode dropped.

Now, fans will finally be able to see how they died in MW3 Ranked Play. The killcams will hopefully help expose cheaters that are slowly taking over the mode on PC.

Be on the lookout for more Ranked Play changes when MW3 Season 2 drops on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024. Find out here when your rank will reset in preparation for the big update.
