PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: CDL RULES
For some reason a LOT of people are getting into trouble by breaking the rules on CDL.

first off, IT DOES NOT ALLOW MNK. IT IS CONTROLLERS ONLY!

here is the link to the website explaining this:

https://callofdutyleague.com/en-us/news/call-of-duty-league-transitions-to-pc-controller-call-of-duty-challengers-goes-crossplay#:~:text=Call%20of%20Duty%20Challengers%20Goes%20Crossplay&text=Players%20are%20required%20to%20use,peripherals%20will%20not%20be%20allowed.

and here is a direct quote from that website explaining the very simple rule:

"Players are required to use controllers. Mouse and keyboard peripherals will not be allowed."

let me explain something else: COD Challengers, changed its title to COD Ranked.

that's literally all that happened, so those saying that these are the rules for just CDL and Challengers, understand that challengers is literally what they called ranked.

you are not supposed to be playing ranked modes with mnk, you are only supposed to use league certified controllers.

no turbo shock.

just regular controllers with aim assist.

CDL is for controllers only, i don't know why i have to be the one to read the rules to you guys but apparently i do.

to clarify because some people are obviously incapable of understanding something as simple as this:

ranked uses CDL rules, CDL rules prohibit mnk, which means ranked prohibits mnk.

it's really not that hard people, if you're disagreeing with these FACTS then im severely worried about you.

edit: here is a link proving ranked is the official tournament mode of cod mw2:
https://www.esports.net/wiki/guides/call-of-duty-ranks/

as for anyone still in denial about it, this is from cods own website talking about the ranked mode being added to the game:

"What is CoD ranked mode?
Ranked Play is the official competitive 4v4 Multiplayer experience for Modern Warfare® II, using the official rules, restrictions, maps, and modes from the Call of Duty League, which can be read here. Whenever the Call of Duty League rules are updated, expect changes to the Ranked Play rules to follow suit."

you're really bad at this

In your post. But not in ANY of the official posts regarding MW2 ranked mode.
Even if you feel like an official CoD employee, you are not. And they dont tell about the restriction you mention. They only do in context of real CDL and tournament environments.
dude, you're literally grasping at troll straws now and it's not working.

i linked in this original post: the link to the CDL page explaining how crossplay changed CDL and RANKED MODE

in that webpage, it has a link to this:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/mlg-gamebattles-production/assets/arenacp/files/1666213465/Challengers%202023%20Season%20Tournament%20Rules%20v1.0%202022.pdf

and in that pdf it shows this:

mnk are not allowed in ranked mode BECAUSE ranked uses CDL rules.

this post was originally about CDL, but because ranked uses CDL rules it had to be explained that ranked also will ban you for using mnk.

instead of trying to claim it only uses in game cdl restrictions, maybe you should try pointing out where exactly they say that they nitpick from the rule set?

because nowhere does it say they nitpick.

in fact it says the contrary:

that mouse and keyboard is prohibited in ranked play just like CDL

uh no, i support balance and i've already said i want a mnk ranked CDL lobby.

the only reason CDL is controller based is because CDL was majorly played on console, it wasn't until a few years ago, (when they wrote that pdf,) that they introduced crossplay.

and to balance crossplay, they made the rule that only controllers could be used in challenger type modes, (ranked is a challenger type mode,) [/quote]

So you support discrimination of playstyle. I think all inputs should have the right to play rank.

Again your tournament PDF that doesnt mention ranked play with any word? Like... Really?
You are hillarious.

MKB is allowed in ranked. You wont change it by telling lies again and again.

Ofc they state every "important" thing in the info screen ingame like equipment restrictions, friendly fire etc. but for the input restriction you have to look up an PDF from years ago, that has written tournament and challengers rules over it.

I actually start beliving you are not a troll and really, really belive your bs. Its really sad.
that pdf is literally the pdf you get linked too from cods own site regarding the CDL rules when they're speaking of mw2 season 2s ranked mode.

so yeah, you must think because someone wrote a patent a decade ago that that patent couldn't possibly be in use right?

your attempt at trying to discredit a legit source from cods own rules is hilarious, it literally proves my point that YOU are the troll.

LOL so you do prefer discrimination based on input and playstyle. All inputs have a place in rank.

Cause ya'll would complain if controllers weren't allowed in a CDL if it was MNK only.

because they refer to it as "challengers" modes in the pdf.

i've literally went over this many times.

that ruleset, was made for league, and challengers game modes.

RANKED IS A CHALLENGERS GAME MODE.

HENCE THE SR LOSS AND SR WINS.

ANYTHING WITH "SR" IS A CHALLENGERS GAME MODE

SR = SKILL RATING, WHICH IS FOR LEAGUE STATS.

uh wut?

i've literally said i want two separate leagues, one for controller and one for mnk.

that's not discrimination, discrimination is when you don't allow someone anything of the product simply because of a prejudice you have against them.

i have no prejudice against consoles or pc players, i simply don't want to see as many people complaining about getting banned from using mnk in ranked.

stop trying to make me the toxic one, im clearly the only person here who can read a rule set and comprehend what it's saying.

ranked is referred to as a challengers mode in the call of duty website.

again, this loop we are going through, goes nowhere.

you are wrong, period.

it literally states that ranked uses CDL rules.

your argument is that it only uses the in game rules, yet it says NOWHERE that it nitpicks only those.

in fact, it says the contrary, that ranked is considered part of the competitive challengers modes and that CDL rules apply, ALL OF THEM.

uh im not scaring anyone clearly lmao.

im trying to prevent people from being banned for doing something they aren't supposed to do, and you guys are trying to keep their bans incoming.

pretty sure yall are the toxic ones.

honestly if this rule wasn't there i wouldn't be making this post would i?

but clearly the post needed to be made because there's numerous people being banned as we speak for using mnk on ranked.

dunno why people try to ignore evidence of things when it's right in front of them, there's literally a dozen posts about being banned from ranked on the first page of the discussions yet you guys are like, nah man it's not a thing.

Yes it is the competitive settings page it says you are on pro/challenger settings you clearly need to learn to read.

i'll give you that.

i've been a developer for over 15 years and have about 20 years experience in programming.

finding rules like this tends to be a top priority for people like myself, and i often go through instances like this where people will call me crazy for saying things like this, but the fact remains that what i've said here is true and all backed by fact.

despite the people who are literally ignoring and refusing to comprehend those facts like how ranked is considered part of the competitive challengers lobby simply because the stats from ranked are tied to the league.

they went from saying "nowhere in this pdf does it say mnk is prohibited," to saying "just because it says that in the pdf doesn't mean ranked has to follow that rule!"

like, could they backtrack even further?

first: the site i linked wasn't accurate even though it was literally the CDL official website

second: the pdf i linked where it explains that mnk isn't allowed somehow is "too old" to be the current ruleset?

third: they try to discredit it by saying ranked only follows "some" of the CDL rules.

lmao it's like trying to get a little kid to confess to breaking a vase, they beat around the bush so much all just to avoid admitting they were wrong.

^this is the only other guy that has actually been able to understand the rules for ranked, and that's why i made this post: literally two people out of hundreds of thousands of players managed to read the rules correctly.

i needed to make this post because of that fact

let me clarify this for you guys:

if it says it follows the CDL ruleset for pro players, (which ranked does in fact say,) then mnk is forbidden.

period.

Period how often you want.
Ranked play is not CDL, rules mentioned by the official blog only state ingame settings, the game itself does not tell the player with one word about this, so its allowed.

And playing around with python for 20 years doesnt make you an experienced programmer.

"period." xD

except that their website where it says it follows the CDL rules

the pop up on the right side of the screen saying that ranked follows the same rules as CDL

and the pdf that actually says all challenger modes follow the rules stated in the pdf.

and the call of duty website that refers to ranked as a new challenger mode.

yeah, nothing says its CDL other than those things.

i mean when they said "match" in the following quote did you think they meant nitpick?

"Some weapons, killstreaks, equipment, and gameplay content are restricted in ranked play to match competitive rules used by call of duty league"

how about the part in the TOS regarding ranked play stating that "the inability to follow the CDL rules in Ranked game modes will result in suspension of online services"

not only is it written on cods own website that ranked doesn't allow mnk, it says it in the games TOS.

ranked uses CDL rules.

CDL rules prohibit mnk.

ranked prohibits mnk.

it really is that simple.
