During a livestream event at Gamescom today, Treyarch outlined Arena, the ranked online play feature in the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops III. Arena replaces League Play found in Black Ops II.
Players can't get demoted out of their skill tier by intentionally losing matches. According to David Vonderhaar, studio design director at Treyarch, this will prevent reverse-boosting, where players intentionally throw matches to drop to a lower skill level, where they can then dominate other players.
"We want to see the best competition in every game," Vonderhaar said. In Arena, players are ranked on wins, and only on wins.
Currently there are 20 ranks as well as a Master's Division at the top of the rank structure. Demotions come only after losing two games in a row. Quitters will lose two steps in the ranking system.
