Modern Warfare 2's CDL Moshpit playlist, which is basically a practice run for the game's impending ranked mode, has been dropped from today's big Modern Warfare 2 Battle Pass Season 1 update at the last minute.
With Modern Warfare 2 Season 1 guns and maps now live, Treyarch announced the delay on Twitter this morning, explaining that "recently discovered issues with the mode will require a slight delay." The studio says "addressing these issues [is] our current top priority, and we'll update you on the timing ASAP," which suggests we may not see CDL Moshpit for a few days at the very least.
Like Modern Warfare 2's upcoming ranked playlist, CDL Moshpit was modeled after the Call of Duty League. It uses the same rules, restrictions, and map rotation for 4v4 Hardpoint, Search and Destroy, and Control matches, positioning it as a way to prepare for the release of ranked mode.
You'll still have time to jump into the Moshpit and practice for ranked proper – which is still vaguely scheduled for a future seasonal update, presumably Season 2 – but slightly less time after today's delay. And competitive players will likely want to practice since ranked mode will have skill divisions and skill ratings, not to mention a top-250 leaderboard, so it'd be good to acclimate to Call of Duty League rules now. Now's also a good time to build one of the best Modern Warfare 2 loadouts available, adjusting for League rules of course.
