To achieve this, the Ranked Play (BETA) will have initial gameplay restrictions in order to gather crucial feedback and data for the full launch of Ranked Play in Season 04, and beyond. With the launch of Ranked Play (BETA) in Season 03 Reloaded of Warzone™ 2.0, our goal is to deliver a competitive and fair system of play, all while striving to ensure a consistent experience across all Battle Royale modes. Players must be at least Level 45 to access Ranked Play. Activision has claimed that players will be able to choose to manage storage space and reduce the game's overall file size during or after the pre-load (thanks AS.com), so it's possible that players will be given the chance to cut out unwanted elements of the games on all platforms.Ranked Play is the official competitive Warzone™ 2.0 Battle Royale experience. We know at time of writing that players can download only the multiplayer and zombies components of the game for PC/ if they wish, for a reduced file size of 36GB. So if you're not interested in the campaign, you don't have to download it.

Pre-loading for Call of Duty: Vanguard has been since November 2nd, and it's pretty necessary as Vanguard has the characteristic large file size of most modern games (though less than the historically bloated standard for Call of Duty, which is nice).
