The CoD esports season started turbulently, to say the least. TheCDL mapschanged dramatically after massive backlash from pros, andprivate match issuesmade it a headache for pros to practice.
Issues also plagued competitive fans. Activision developed aCDL Moshpit playlistto help bridge the gap for players beforeRanked playlaunches in 2023, but the mode was delayed.
The Moshpit playlist features the same map pool, game modes, andrulesetas Ranked Play without an official ELO system. Players can start officially earning ELO points when Ranked Play launches in 2023.
Finally, after a two-week delay, Activision released the Moshpit playlist, perfectly coinciding with the start of the 2023 CDL season.
The CDL Major 1 qualifiers begin on December 2, and what better way to celebrate the occasion than playing the CDL Moshpit playlist with friends?
Treyarchconfirmed on December 1 that the Moshpit playlist is live in MW2. The developers noted that the Moshpit and CDL Private matches share loadouts.

So what makes CDL Moshpit different from standard quick play? as part of the CDL ruleset, all shotguns, LMGs, Battle Rifles, and Marksman Rifles are banned. Not to mention a long list of equipment and perks are banned as well.
Games are 4v4 instead of 6v6, and the only three supported modes include Hardpoint, Search and Destroy, and Control. Lastly, the ruleset cuts out a few maps from the rotation.
