Yes, the short and reassuring answer is that your COD Points will indeed transfer from Modern Warfare 2 (MW2) to Modern Warfare 3 (MW3). If you’ve accumulated a stash of CP (COD Points) in MW2, you can breathe easy knowing they’ll be available for use in MW3 once you log into your account. This applies across the same console family, meaning if you earned them on a PlayStation, they will transfer to MW3 on PlayStation, and the same logic applies for Xbox and PC. This seamless transition ensures that the money you’ve invested doesn’t go to waste, allowing you to continue purchasing cosmetic items, battle passes, and more in the new installment. Let’s dive deeper into how this works and address other burning questions you might have.
How Do COD Points Transfer to MW3?
The transfer process is automatic and designed to be hassle-free. When Modern Warfare 3 launches, all you need to do is log into the game using the same Activision account that you used in MW2. Once you’re in, your accumulated COD Points will be waiting for you, ready to be spent. This transfer is a welcome feature, allowing players to carry over their progress and invested currency into the new title.
Important Considerations: Same Platform Family
It is crucial to remember that COD points only transfer within the same console family. This means:
* If you purchased CP on a PlayStation 4 (PS4) or PlayStation 5 (PS5), they will transfer to MW3 on PS4 or PS5.
* If you purchased CP on an Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S, they will transfer to MW3 on Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S.
* If you purchased CP on PC, they will transfer to MW3 on PC.
COD points are not transferable across different platforms. For example, if you purchased CP on a PS5, they will not be available on an Xbox Series X/S, even if they are linked to the same Activision account.
Beyond COD Points: What Else Transfers to MW3?
The good news doesn’t stop at just CP. Many other elements of your MW2 experience will make the jump to MW3:
- Operators and Operator Skins: All unlocked operators and operator skins in MW2 will carry over to Modern Warfare 3. Every operator you unlocked via challenge, or purchased (including exclusive content like the PlayStation Oni Operator), will be available in MW3.
This continuity enhances the gaming experience, allowing players to seamlessly transition to the new game without having to start from scratch with character progression or purchasing operator cosmetics they already own.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
To provide even more clarity, here are some frequently asked questions about COD point transfers and more related to MW3:
1. Will my MW2 COD points transfer to Warzone?
Yes, your COD Points will transfer to Warzone, as long as you’re using the same Activision account and platform family. Warzone is integrated with the Call of Duty ecosystem, so your currency is shared seamlessly between these titles.
2. Can I transfer COD points to another account?
No, COD points cannot be transferred or gifted to another account. CP is tied to the specific Activision account and platform on which they were purchased.
3. Will my purchased content like blueprints carry over to MW3?
While COD Points and Operators/Skins will carry over, blueprints are generally not carried forward and any purchases need to be done separately in MW3.
4. What happens to my DMZ progress in MW3?
Unfortunately, DMZ will not be directly carried forward into MW3. The mode is being integrated into the Zombies mode, and a new experience is set to come in Warzone.
5. Is MW3 a direct sequel to MW2?
Yes, Modern Warfare 3 is a direct sequel to Modern Warfare 2, continuing the story of Captain Price and Task Force 141.
6. Do I need MW2 to play MW3?
Yes, somewhat. You need to have access to MW2 as you can’t launch MW3 directly but rather you do so through a hub application which requires you to have MW2 installed. The “Call of Duty HQ” application acts as a main hub to access different titles in the Modern Warfare series.
7. Will there be bots in MW3?
Yes, Modern Warfare 3 will likely include bots in offline and online modes, as seen in MW2. This is useful for practice or for private matches.
8. When was MW3 released?
Modern Warfare 3 was released on November 10, 2023, on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
9. How long is the MW3 campaign?
The MW3 campaign is relatively short, typically taking players around 3-5 hours to complete, depending on play style and skill level.
10. How much does MW3 cost?
Modern Warfare 3 is a full-priced game at the standard price point, generally $70.

Yes, COD Points can still be used in Modern Warfare 2 to purchase content. CP is the in-game currency used to acquire new items, battle passes, and other cosmetic enhancements.
12. Why don’t COD points transfer across platforms?
This is due to how platform ecosystems work. COD points are tied to the platform’s storefront, thus preventing cross-platform transfers.
13. Is Konig in MW3?

14. Is there a new map for Warzone with MW3?
Yes, MW3’s release coincided with a new map in Warzone.
