Will BlackCell Transfer to MW3? Everything You Need to Know

The highly anticipated release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (MW3) has brought with it a wave of questions regarding the carry-forward system from Modern Warfare II (MW2). One of the most pressing questions on players’ minds is: Will BlackCell transfer to MW3? The short and definitive answer is yes, BlackCell content from MW2 will transfer to MW3. This means that the exclusive skins, blueprints, and other cosmetic items you’ve acquired through BlackCell in MW2 will be available for use in MW3, providing you with a plethora of customization options right from day one.

This is part of the extensive carry-forward system that Activision has implemented, allowing players to retain much of their progress and investment made in MW2. It’s a welcome feature for players who have poured time and money into unlocking their favourite items, and it ensures a smoother transition between games. The transfer includes not just the base BlackCell offerings, but also any individual items or variants you unlocked within it. This also includes items that you may have unlocked with a seasonal BlackCell pass. If you unlocked it in MW2, it will be available in MW3.

What Exactly Carries Over?

The carry-forward system is designed to bring over a wide array of content. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect to see transfer from MW2 to MW3:

• Operator Skins: Every operator skin you’ve unlocked or purchased, including those from the BlackCell, will transfer to MW3. This applies to both base operators and their various skins.
• Weapon Blueprints: All weapon blueprints you’ve acquired, regardless of how you obtained them, will be available for use on compatible MW3 weapons. This includes those from the BlackCell.
• Weapon Camos: Every camo you’ve unlocked, including event camos from specific periods, will carry forward. If you earned a limited-time event camo during the availability period, it will transfer.
• Calling Cards and Emblems: These customization items will also transfer to MW3, allowing you to personalize your player profile.
• Double XP Tokens: All your accumulated double XP tokens from MW2 will be available for use in MW3.
• COD Points: Your current balance of COD Points will transfer to MW3, ready for new purchases or use within the game.

The BlackCell content transfers as a whole, meaning that each aspect you gained through the pass will follow you to MW3. It’s not just specific skins or blueprints, but the entire range of rewards within the BlackCell. This is a huge win for players looking to maintain their personalized experience as they transition to the new title.

Why This is Important for Players

The carry-forward system is more than just a convenience; it’s a testament to Activision’s effort to respect players’ investments. In previous transitions between Call of Duty titles, players often had to start from scratch, losing access to their hard-earned cosmetic items. This system ensures that:

• Investment is Rewarded: Players who have spent time and money in MW2 to acquire BlackCell items can continue to use them in MW3.
• Customization is Maintained: You can maintain your unique style and appearance in MW3, without losing all of your earned customizations from MW2.
• Seamless Transition: The carry-forward system enables a smoother, less frustrating transition to the new game, meaning that you don’t have to start all over.
• Continued Play: It provides an incentive for players to continue engaging with the franchise, knowing their efforts will not be wasted.

This thoughtful approach helps build player loyalty and makes the transition into a new Call of Duty title more exciting, rather than daunting.
