We are days away from the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. On 3 November, those who pre-ordered the game on PlayStation, Xbox and PC can jump into the early access campaign ahead of the official launch on 10 November. Keep in mind that only the campaign is playable at this time. The Multiplayer mode and Zombies mode will only unlock on 10 November (9 November for those in PT territories).
Activision has explained exactly when you can pre-load Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, what specs you’ll need in order to play the game and exactly when you can boot up the various game modes. Because things always need to be this confusing.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Pre-Load and Launch Times
You’ll be able to start pre-loading Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in two waves. The first wave includes early access to the campaign and the second wave includes pre-loading the Multiplayer mode and Zombie mode. If you don’t pre-order for campaign early access, you’ll then do all your pre-loading at once.
