How long it takes to beat Modern Warfare 3 campaign

The Modern Warfare 3 campaign length is always an important topic of conversation among Call of Duty players looking to make sure they can complete the single-player as fast as possible.

Modern Warfare 3 sees the return of Task Force 141 as it attempts to derail the plans of an iconic villain looking to cause chaos across the world. As with previous stories, the campaign is packed with rewards to unlock in addition to numerous trophies and achievements.

But, before we take a closer look at the Modern Warfare 3 campaign length, check out the best MCW loadout and everything there is to know about the new Open Combat Missions.

Modern Warfare 3 campaign length

In total, there are 14 Modern Warfare 3 missions that make up the single-player story. As it's a similar length to 2022's Modern Warfare 2 campaign, we expect the Modern Warfare 3 campaign length to be approximately six to eight hours. However, many are managing to complete it in three hours.

Of course, there's a chance this particular story takes longer due to the open-ended nature of Open Combat Missions but for now, the campaign should take under ten hours to complete from start to finish.

If you're struggling to make it to the next checkpoint on a harder difficulty, you can reduce it down to Recruit or Regular to speed up the time it takes to complete a level.
