Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will have 14 campaign missions, with most of them netting players a special reward upon completion. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the next installment in the long-running Call of Duty franchise, and as usual, it will have three distinct experiences for players to check out at launch.

Like with most Call of Duty games, the Modern Warfare 3 experience can be broken down into three categories: campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer and Zombies won't be available until the game launches on November 10, but anyone that pre-orders the digital version of the game can hop into the campaign on as early as November 2. Activision is looking to make Modern Warfare 3 campaign completion worth it by hooking players up with special rewards that will help them in multiplayer.

MW3 Campaign Early Access Release Date and Time

  • November 2 at 10am PT

The good news for those that typically stick to Call of Duty multiplayer is that the campaign should be fairly quick to play through. Call of Duty campaigns are typically very short, with most able to be wrapped up in 5-8 hours. It remains to be seen how long the Modern Warfare 3 campaign is, especially with its new Open Combat missions, but fans will find out when the campaign goes live for pre-order holders on November 2.

Gamers will have about a week to play through the Modern Warfare 3 campaign before the multiplayer and open world Zombies go live on November 10. This should be plenty of time to beat all 14 MW3 campaign missions and unlock the associated rewards. It's worth pointing out this content will also be relevant to Warzone players, as it is universal between MW3 and the battle royale.
