After months of waiting, Multiplayer Ranked Play in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is about to kick off. Ahead of the challenging 4v4 mode, we’ve put together a list of guns, attachments and tactical gear you should expect to see restricted (AKA banned) in Ranked Play.
Before we jump in, it’s worth noting that our information is based on the official Call Of Duty League’s current ruleset that has been put in place for Modern Warfare 3.
As Multiplayer Ranked Play uses the same maps and restrictions as the Call Of Duty League, we should expect to see the same gear banned when Season 1 Reloaded launches next week.
However, we’re still waiting to get our hands on official patch notes for Season 1 Reloaded, and it’s possible that certain restrictions change in the weeks to come – though this article will be updated with any tweaks that do come through.
