The Modern Warfare 3 Ranked Play grind is officially on following the Season 1 Reloaded update, but players are already desperate for the devs to remove one specific weapon type for being too “annoying.”
Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 Reloaded brought plenty of content to the game, but the long-awaited addition of Ranked Play was the main event. Players now have a fully-sledged competitive mode to grind, with tons of exclusive rewards to work towards.
Ranked Play features the same rules and restrictions as the CDL, meaning players are limited to the same maps and modes as the pros. The same applies to weapons and attachments, as there is a much smaller pool to choose from when building a loadout.
However, despite there being fewer options, MW3 players are already calling for melee weapons to be removed.
MW3 players call for Knives to be banned in Ranked Play
Reddit user ‘BHRx’ urged the devs to “get the damn knife out of Ranked,” before going to explain some of their frustrating experiences.
“The TTK for most guns is slower than someone running at you with a knife. I’ve had far too many cheap deaths using the MCW without missing a shot and I’m not alone,” said the OP. “Leave that s**t for shipment or put a melee weapon that slows you down or requires two hits.”
There are only two melee weapons in MW3 Ranked Play, the Gutter Knife and Karambit, but both can kill an enemy in just one hit, on top of offering mobility bonuses. This seemed to be the main sticking point for many players as they took to the comments.
