Modern Warfare 2 Ranked Games and Rewards

There are seven skill divisions in ranked play   , from the lowest  bronze  division to the highest with  the rainbow  division. In addition to the seven skill divisions, players will have the opportunity to climb into  the Top 250 .

If you get past Iridescent and make it into the top 250, “your name will appear on a special top 250 leaderboard.” 

As with Vanguard, Modern Warfare 2 players will have  a Skill Rating  , also known as SR. Your SR will determine your skill division, so this is the number you want to increase after each match.

Modern Warfare 2 ranked play will also use a different set of ranks than SR or Skill Divisions. This will give players the opportunity to move up from  rank 1 to rank 50  . This particular rank does not reset with each season like SR does.

Each player will start at rank 1, and for every rank 5, the player’s rank icon will be updated and “provide a set of exclusive rewards for ranked play, including skins at rank 5 and 50.”

In terms of Ranked Play rewards, players can also expect to receive  Skill Division skins  based on their highest rank in that season. The first time you finish in the Gold Division or above, you will receive an exclusive one-time reward.
