Modern Warfare 3 is here, and with it comes a new Call of Duty League Season. The League has recently released the first ruleset of the season, giving players the new map pool and restricted items. The professional players have also been adding items to the the Gentlemen’s Agreement list, which is a list of items that all players agree not to use due to balancing issues.
The first set of GAs were early in the game's release. The MTZ-556 is the only primary weapon GA'd outside of the ruleset. Currently, players are testing no sniper rifles, but that is still in the testing phase.
Within the past week, new agreements have been put in place not to use any knives or muzzles that increase melee damage to do 1-hit kills.
Aditionally, Assault Rifles must use a red dot sight and cannot use the High Grain Ammunition attachment. Surely within the next two weeks before the CDL season begins players will continue testing items and making changes to the GA list.
