Infinity Ward, the game’s developer, is reintroducing the Prestige ranking system, a persistent system that will allow players to maintain their rank advancement between seasons.
In contrast, 2019’s Modern Warfare featured a seasonal Prestige system that reset player levels to level 55 at the start of each season.
Fans of the Call of Duty series will find the Modern Warfare 2 Prestige system more familiar, and players have praised the new implementation.
At present, Military rank 55 is the highest that can be achieved in the game. When Season 1 launches on November 16, players who reach and maintain Rank 55 or higher will earn a Prestige rank that lasts throughout the year. At the end of each season, it will not be reset.
Prestige 1 is unlocked at Rank 56. In exchange, you receive an Emblem, bonus rewards, and a set of challenges that, once completed, will grant you access to a secret Calling Card.
In Season 1, four additional Prestige ranks will be available, each with its own requirements and benefits.
A breakdown of the tiers and the ranks they grant is as follows:
Level 1 Prestige: 56; Level 2 Prestige: 100
Third-level prestige: 150; fourth-level prestige: 200; fifth-level prestige: 250.
The maximum level for Season 1 is 250, but future seasons will likely add more Prestige tiers.
Players can carry over their season-ending rankings into the next year. If you didn’t have enough time to reach the highest Prestige rank in a given season, don’t worry; you can still climb the Prestige ladder and catch up whenever you can.
The original Call of Duty Raid, known as Atomgrad, debuted in Modern Warfare 2 Season 1 Reloaded.
The campaign ends, and the three-player cooperative mode begins, pitting players against a wide variety of enemy AI and puzzles that will test their problem-solving skills.
It’s the pilot for a series that will have five episodes total, with a new one premiering with each new season. Players who complete Episode 1 will receive a variety of benefits, including a new Operator.
