The league for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 will be starting on 2 December 2022, just 35 days after MW2’s launch. Every time a new Call of Duty title is launched, a new set of unofficial rules are made by the pros of the game. The Call of Duty Competetive Matches have a set of official rules which are sometimes not complete and players take it upon themselves to add a few more rules to make the competitive plays more balanced and justified. As Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 has just dropped, a new GA list has been released which is getting lots of criticism.
Before every competetive season, the GA list is released and this time it has some unexpected additions which the player do not like and has caused an community wide debate regarding the Gentleman’s Agreement (GA). This Gentleman’s Agreement v2.0 states that the use of Sniper Rifles and Smoke Grenades has been fully restricted along with some other attachments.
The GA is agreed upon by all the 12 teams playing the League.

Several Call of Duty pro players and other COD streamers have been expressing their views on the recent additions to the Gentlemen’s Agreement for the 2023 Call of Duty League.
After the whole community backlashed, the pro finally added Sniper rifles back to the competitive Call of Duty. The whole debate finally ended with the community winning this over the pros and will see Snipers in the competitive Call of Duty.
