Looking to get early access to Modern Warfare 3's campaign? Here's what you need to know.

Call of Duty is allowing players to gain early access to Modern Warfare 3's campaign a week ahead of official release, meaning players can complete the narrative a week before jumping into Multiplayer and Zombies. However, this opportunity isn't available to everyone. 

Gaining access to this "exclusive" opportunity doesn't require a lot of effort or thought, but only specific players will have access to Modern Warfare 3's campaign early.

Modern Warfare 3: How To Get Campaign Early Access

Players who pre-purchase a digital copy of Modern Warfare 3 will be granted early access to the game's Campaign. However, this requires players to purchase the title before its official release, November 10. Early access will be released on November 2, meaning players will have global access to the MW3 Campaign from there forward. 

Players who decide to pre-purchase the title between the 3-9 of November will still be given early access to Modern Warfare 3's Campaign as they are still technically pre-ordering the game.

After purchasing the title on your desired platform, you'll be prompted to install Modern Warfare 3. The game will be approximately 100GB in storage size and will take a while to pre-install. This package will contain the entire game, not just the Campaign. Once November 2 rolls around, players will have full access to the Campaign; on November 10 Multiplayer and Zombies will be playable.

This early access is not exclusive to any particular platform, meaning Modern Warfare 3's Campaign will be available across all platforms and consoles at the same time. The Modern Warfare 3 release will have a global rollout , ensuring that no players in different time zones are given access to the game before anybody else — times are yet to be disclosed.
