Activision's new Carry Forward program
What is the role of Warzone Mobile?
Earlier this year, Activision unveiled an exciting "Carry Forward" initiative, catering to the interests of consumers. This program enables the purchased content from Modern Warfare II to not only transfer over to Modern Warfare III but also seamlessly integrate into the upcoming evolution of Warzone, complete with a fresh new map.
The Carry Forward program is applicable to standard weapons and unlocks obtained through progression rather than purchasing. Activision has announced that all weapons from Modern Warfare II will be accessible to players of Modern Warfare III. Additionally, this program extends to content bought with real money, such as Lara Croft or Lilith skins, BlackCell bundles, and other items. All of these will be accessible in Modern Warfare III.
According to Activision, if you haven't played MWII but you acquire MWIII, you will have access to all MWII weapons, but only after completing the associated weapon challenges in MWIII. It's worth noting that all attachments and camos from Modern Warfare II will also carry forward.
MW2's content seamlessly transfers to MW3 without any waiting period. When Season 1 of MW3 begins at launch, Carry Forward content will be readily accessible.
When browsing through the in-game store for Modern Warfare II and Warzone, you will come across an emblem that signifies participation in the Carry Forward program. This visual cue ensures a convenient and prompt identification of content that will carry forward to Modern Warfare III.
Not everything, though
The Carry Forward program does not encompass all content. According to Activision, a "small amount" of content from Modern Warfare II will not be included in Modern Warfare III. For instance, any unlocked Wartracks, which are Activision's term for music tracks, will not be carried forward to Modern Warfare III. Additionally, if Modern Warfare III does not feature the Tactical Amphibious vehicle or specific tactical or lethal equipment, any skins associated with them will not be available in Modern Warfare III.
Overall, Activision has stated that the portion of content from Modern Warfare II that cannot be used in Modern Warfare III will be limited.
Level up in both games
The progress of weapon unlocks in both Modern Warfare II and Modern Warfare III is shared, meaning that any progress made in one game will carry over to the other. This functionality also applies to Warzone, as it has been integrated with both Modern Warfare II and III since their initial integration.

No Carry Back
However, it's important to note that the Carry Forward program only moves progress in one direction. Any content or progress made in Modern Warfare III will not be accessible on your account in Modern Warfare II.
How does Warzone Mobile factor in?
Activision plans to introduce shared progression in its upcoming Call of Duty Warzone Mobile game. This means that players will be able to carry forward their progress across Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, and Warzone. The company intends to make all Operators, weapons, blueprints, and cosmetic items available in Warzone Mobile. Additionally, player levels, Battle Passes, and weapon progression will be synchronized across all three games. More details about this feature will be announced by Activision at a later date. Warzone Mobile is scheduled to be released in 2024.
