All new features in Black Ops 6 Ranked Play
These are all the new features Black Ops Ranked Play is coming with:
- Map and Mode Veto: Before each match, 3 map and mode combinations are presented and teams need to vote until left with one of the presented options.
- Forfeit: This is used when your team wants to end a match early. However, for that, all teammates must vote to end the match. Remember, Forfeited matches will count as a standard loss and do not result in SR penalties or suspensions. Forfeit becomes available in the Options Menu at a designated point in each mode:
- Hardpoint: Winning Team reaches 100 Points
- Control: After 1st Round
- Search and Destroy: After 3rd Round
- Party Skill Restriction: Full Parties of four, regardless of their individual Ranks, can now play together. However, matchmaking will depend on the highest-ranked player.
- Seasonal Setback: Every new season, your Rank will reset based on previous season performance:
- Bronze or Silver players are not impacted by the Seasonal setback.
- Gold or Platinum players will start in Tier I of Gold or Platinum.
- Diamond and above players will start at Diamond I.
- Loss Forgiveness: Your first loss of the day will be forgiven and not deduct SR, regardless of your rank.
