Operators

For Operators and Operator skins unlocked in Modern Warfare 2, they will be available to use in MW3. This includes those attained through challenges, purchased through a bundle in the Call of Duty store, as well as seasonal and battle pass Operators.

Base Operators, also known as the default Operator skin, will also carry forward in MW3 as long as the player owns a copy of Modern Warfare 2.

Weapons

Weapons from MW2 will be carried over provided that their unlock challenge has been completed for it to become accessible in MW3.

In addition, players who do not own Modern Warfare 2 will still be able to use the base MW2 weapons. However, they'll need to be unlocked through MW3 challenges.

Attachments

The Attachments from MW2 are transferred over and can also be used on Modern Warfare 3 weapons, as long as they're compatible with the gun.

You can check which attachments are available for a certain weapon in the Gunsmith menu.

Blueprints

All Blueprints for your guns will also be imported, and those that are available from bundles in the MW2 store, may also be purchased in the MW3 shop.

Weapon Camos

Weapon Camos are also brought over to MW3, including Mastery Camos and those obtained from Limited-Time events.

However, do note that MW2 Camos cannot be applied to MW3 weapons since it has been confirmed that the latter will have its own expansive set of camos.

Customizations and Cosmetics

Weapon Charms, Stickers, Calling Cards, Emblems, Loading Screens, and select Vehicle Skins that you own in MW2, will all be available in Modern Warfare 3.

Prove you're veteran to newcomers by equipping cosmetics from old limited-time events!

Weapon Progression

The level progression for weapons will update continuously in both games. Meaning if you leveled up a gun in MW3, that progress will also be in MW2 and vice versa.

What Doesn't Carry Over

1. War Tracks

War Tracks

War Tracks are songs that you play while riding in vehicles. Unfortunately, all musical tracks that you own from MW2 will not be made available in MW3.

Will Limited-Time Items Be Carried Forward to MW3?

Yes, Limited Items Will Carry Over

All Operators, Weapons, and Cosmetic items obtained from MW2 limited-time events and battle passes will be carried over to Modern Warfare 3 as long as players were able to get them within the timeframe of the events.
