As the official launch forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3is only days away, Activision has begun to confirm crucial details about the upcoming FPS game.

Carry Forward is one of the most interesting features to be introduced intoModern Warfare 3. It refers to content now available inModern Warfare 2and the current version ofWarzonebeing accessible inModern Warfare 3. This includes a range of items such as weapons, cosmetics, bundles, operators, and other rewards.

Excitingly this is the first time anything like this has been available in a Modern Warfare title. “The content delivery is incredible: As an example, expect your available arsenal to combine weapons from both Modern Warfare titles, giving you a massive repository of armaments ready to use on day one”, Call of Duty staff said in ablog post.

However, this doesn’t include every item in the FPS title due to in-game differences. For example, the upcoming title doesn’t have Tactical Amphibious Vehicles, so any skins you’ve unlocked for this will not carry forward intoModern Warfare 3. There’s also no Carry Back, so anything you unlock in the newest game will not be accessible in previous titles.

Rumors thatCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3would allow players to bring their content fromModern Warfare 2began circulating aftera leak from Activision. Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier also reported ina tweetthat the upcoming title will see the return of the iconic mini-map and Ninja perk.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3is set to be released November 10, 2023, onXbox Series X|S,Xbox One,PS5,PS4, and PC. So far, we’ve seen two trailers for the upcoming FPS title, with thelatest teaser trailerfocusing on Vladimir Makarov with a voice-over from Captain Price.
