League Play

League Play is a new numerical system that is used for the first time alongside XP in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. A player's league is determined by how many games they win or lose. If they lose often, then they'll risk being demoted to the league below. If they win often, then they will be promoted to the next League.

Trivia

 * When using Create-A-Class in League Play, all items unlocked with Allocation Points are available by default.
 * Camouflages cannot be unlocked in League Play and kills with a specific weapon will only count towards your Combat Record if the gun is unlocked for Public Match.
 * League Play does count towards your K/D (Kill/Death Ratio) and SPM (Score Per Minute)
 * League Play also increases your rank. With 10,000 XP per game won and 7500 every game lost. This can be very helpful in leveling up.
