Hot on the heels of confirming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has ditched the controversial loot boxes of old in favour of a battle pass, Activision has announced Modern Warfare also ditches the long-running Prestige progression system for a new seasonal Officer Ranks system.
As detailed in a post on the Activision blog, Modern Warfare sees players progress through Enlisted Ranks (1-55) to unlock base weapons, perks, equipment, Killstreaks and Field Upgrades. Here’s how it looks:
Once you complete all 55 Enlisted Ranks you do not Prestige. Rather, you transition to the new Officer Ranks progression system, starting at Officer Rank 1. Here’s how it works:
At the start of each season of content, you begin your season of Officer Ranks. As part of this, you get an Officer Challenge at each rank leading up to 5-Star General (rank 100). Completing each challenge rewards a ribbon. Earn 10 ribbons and you get an emblem. All 100 ribbons gets you a better emblem.
