Players who reach Spec Ops and Elite Ops ranks can see their exact Skill Rating in the Player profile. Matchmaking (due to a limited amount of Elite Ops players, expect them to be mixed with players from Diamond to Spec Ops in actual matches). With this change, we hope to make the top rank of the game feel very, very meaningful while enabling reasonable expectations for

That the transition from a percentile based rank to the 250 best Elite Ops wouldn’t work very smoothly and the percentile at which Spec Ops would turn to Elite Ops would always be changing. This also means that Spec Ops will lose its percentile number, and instead look like any other rank. This should create a more clear ranking for the top players and enable some fierce competition for anyone wanting to prove they are the best Critical Ops Player. NEW RANKĮlite Ops is a new numbered rank that is reserved for the absolute top global 250 players (the amount may potentially change in the future). We estimate the first season to potentially be around four months, but this is something we will be evaluating and most likely adjusting in the future. Skill ratings between seasons, which means you will encounter players close to your skill level and be ranked accordingly. When the new season starts, you will be put back into UNRANKED, and you will have to play placement matches to find your new ranking. We will be resetting ranks at regular intervals, and every player is required to complete a set of placement matches before they get a rank again.

The update will also introduce seasons to ranked. We will also be resetting all of the ranks to support this new ranking system. Otherwise, they would, of course, be dominant in lower rank matches and the matches would not be as balanced. Rank should get there as soon as possible. The second goal is to get the players into their rank based on their actual skill as fast as possible. By being able to control the amount of skill rating needed for each rank we can better finetune the ranks and ensure that each rank has a certain necessary amount of players. This is really important for us to guarantee a timely matchmaking experience and ensure that you have an excellent chance to find matches of your own rank even The first goal of this new ranking system is to balance the number of players better and strive for a healthy distribution of players to different ranks. Skill rating is determined based on a player’s performance in the Ranked Game Mode.

This means that winning a team, with higher average skill rating than your personal skill rating, will net you more rating than winning a team with lower average skill rating.Īnd vice versa losing to a team with higher average skill rating than your personal skill rating will not end up costing you as much rating as losing to a team with lower average skill rating. Where the old system simply counted victories and defeats (which is quite common and useful for 1v1 games), the new system takes into account the outcome of the match, your personal skill rating and the opposing teams average skill rating. With Ranked Seasons we will be moving forward from the simple “star”-based system to a more comprehensive skill rating system. We will be making changes to the skill rating system, ranks and matchmaking systems as well as introducing a new rank, called ELITE OPS. You can also expect similar posts for our other Game Mode plans as well as our roadmap for Maps. We will be making improvements to our Ranked Game Mode in the release 1.6.0 and wanted to finally shed some light on what we have been working on. Introducing Ranked Seasons, an advanced system for fair Ranking experience.
