Modern Warfare 3 mission list and rewards
The Modern Warfare 3 campaign has 14 missions, and 13 of these provide a reward upon completion. As with previous Call of Duty campaigns, the action is split across various continents as it jumps between the perspectives of multiple characters.
Technically, there are 15 missions if you include the 'Countdown' sequence after the 'Trojan Horse' last mission, but Countdown doesn't appear on the in-game mission list menu, and doesn't reward anything when you complete it.
The Modern Warfare 3 campaign includes Open Combat missions where you deploy to wide-open locations and gear up with Supply Boxes, Armor Plates, Vests, and more. You can take a stealthy approach or go loud with the biggest gun you can find.
With the exception of the 'Passenger' mission, you get one reward that can be used in MW3's multiplayer modes. Additionally, you receive a weapon Blueprint for completing all 14 missions on any difficulty.
Here's the complete list of Modern Warfare 3 missions and campaign rewards:
| MW3 mission | Completion reward |
|---|---|
| Operation 627 | Breather Calling Card |
| Precious Cargo | 30 mins Double Player XP Token and 30 mins Double Weapon XP Token |
| Reactor | Corso Operator |
| Payload | Ghillie Guy Calling Card |

Remember, you can complete these missions on any difficulty to claim your rewards.
Modern Warfare 3 campaign length
The Modern Warfare 3 campaign length varies depending on what difficulty you play on, and whether you're trying to get Trophies or Achievements along the way. If you're a completionist, you'll also want to go hunting in Open Combat missions for every collectible item, which can add a lot of time.
With that said, generally speaking, if playing on Recruit or Regular difficulty and only focusing on clearing each level once, the campaign of Modern Warfare 3 last for five to seven hours.
Once you've unlocked weapons in the campaign, you can retry missions with different loadouts, which is great if you want to experiment with Modern Warfare 3's arsenal, or nail the perfect run of an Open Combat Mission. Good luck taking on Makarov!
