New Minimum Level Requirement to access Ranked Play in Modern Warfare 2 Season 4

Ranked Play's most important improvement introduced by Activision to combat smurfing, cheating, and more is the updated Minimum Level Requirement. Previously, users could access this mode with just a level 16 account, and it only took 4-6 hours for a new-profile user to get there.

However, now, gamers must be at least level 45 to access Ranked Play, a change expected to be well-received by the community.
