Modern Warfare 2 Ranked map rotation gets major update
The latest Modern Warfare 2 Ranked Play update brought about a few fixes and also added the game’s newest map into the competitive lineup.
Ranked Play has been a huge success for the Modern Warfare 2 devs. The mode has been well-received on nearly all fronts, with only concerns aboutcheatersand a limited map pool holding it back.
When the newHimmelmatt Expomap arrived in Season 2, many players called for it to replace some of the weaker map & mode combos. Treyarch heard the call and is testing it out in Ranked and they hope the feedback here will shed light on whether the map can work in the official Call of Duty League ruleset.

“This is so awesome. Well done,” he replied to Treyarch.
