Infinity Ward's next installment in Call of Duty's classic Modern Warfare series is almost here, with the new title releasing in full on November 10th. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is set to finalize the retold Modern Warfare story, rebooted in 2019's Modern Warfare. The conclusion to Infinity Ward's modernized retelling of Captain Price and Sergeant Soap MacTavish's story will be released along with a fresh Call of Duty multiplayer experience featuring new combat mechanics and remade versions of all the multiplayer maps from 2009's Modern Warfare 2, plus the first-ever Zombies experience for a Modern Warfare title.

Players who are looking forward to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's campaign and the epic conclusion to Soap and Price's journey will be able to get their hands on the game's main story over a week early, simply by pre-ordering the game. Here's when early access for the conclusion to the story of Task Force 141 goes live.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Global Release Times

Here's the exact time players can preload and play the full release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, specified to their location.

What Time Can I Start Playing MW3 Campaign With Early Access?

Any players who have pre-ordered their copy of Modern Warfare 3 will be able to start playing the campaign on November 2nd - players do not need to order any special edition of the game to gain access. Access will become available at staggered times around the globe, becoming accessible to players on the East Coast of the United States at 1 p.m. local time, the West Coast of the US at 10 a.m. local time, and players in the United Kingdom getting access at 5 p.m.

Players can begin pre-installing the content now onto their PC or console in preparation for the release this Thursday. The Modern Warfare 3 files are not large themselves, altogether amounting to roughly 50GB; however, as the game launches from the Call of Duty HQ, players will also need space for the COD game launcher, which is close to 100GB. If players are jumping back into Call of Duty with the release of Modern Warfare 3 and have not been playing recent Call of Duty titles, be prepared to designate almost 150GB total to this game, possibly more if players purchase the vault edition and receive the bonus content.
