All MW2 and MW3 Ranked Play win streak colors

Show off your streak to the world.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Ranked Play has reached the same highs as its predecessor, attracting new fans to the Call of Duty League and giving players a way to scratch that competitive itch you can’t replicate in any other game mode.

But there is some confusion about one aspect of Ranked Play, and it has to do with the win streak colors that appear around your rank icon. Players who go on a win streak earn different colors on their icons, but even after a year of using this system, some community members are still puzzled about which colors refer to what type of win streak.

In this guide, we’ll go over all of the CoD Ranked Play win streak colors you can earn in MW3.

Modern Warfare 3 Ranked Play win streak colors

In total, there are three colors you’ll see around a player’s icon: orange, red, and purple. You receive these colors once you have gone on the following win streaks:

  • Orange: Three-win streak
  • Red: Five-win streak
  • Purple: Seven-win streak

Following a seven-win streak, you will not earn any additional colors. Your color will remain purple until you lose a match or after 72 hours of not playing a Ranked Play match, which restarts your streak. So if you see someone with a purple color around their icon, there’s no telling how long of a winning streak they’re on.

In the future, we could see additional Ranked Play win streak colors added. But for now, these are the three colors CoD players can earn.
