Summary
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 offers a vast array of multiplayer content, including a wide variety of weapons, operators, skins, camos, and more.
- The game sets a high bar for multiplayer engagement with its extensive range of weapon camouflage options, offering players over 1000 choices to personalize their favorite weapons.
- Modern Warfare 3's camos are not only available in standard multiplayer but also in the Zombies mode, providing players with even more unique options for customization.
One thing that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 cannot be accused of is a lack of multiplayer content, with the game employing a carry-over system alongside last year's Modern Warfare 2 to create a huge overall level of personalization options. With the recent release possessing two games worth of weapons, operators, skins, camos, and more, there is an almost overwhelming amount of choice that is afforded to players.
The range of weapon camouflage options in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is perhaps the most impressive aspect of its scale of content, with fans having hundreds of options to choose from and an engaging progression system to unlock them. Camouflage unlocks have long been a huge point of Call of Duty's multiplayer engagement, and Modern Warfare 3 unsurprisingly sets a very high bar that future installments may struggle to exceed or even match.

Modern Warfare 3's first BlackCell Operator is here, but is it worth the extra cost to players?
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Multiplayer Camos Are a Saving Grace
Modern Warfare 3 is in a peculiar situation as the second release for the rebooted trilogy in two years, with Activision sensibly transferring a lot of the unlocked content from Modern Warfare 2 over to the newer release, ensuring that players did not lose out on a lot of their hard-earned progression content. Despite Modern Warfare 3 introducing its own batch of weapons, equipment, and associated unlocks, the following content from Modern Warfare 2 is usable in the recently released title:
- All MW2 weapons
- Attachments
- Operator skins
- Weapon blueprints
- Cosmetics
- Purchased bundles
- Weapon camos
Staggeringly, there are over 1000 camouflage options that players can unlock in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, meaning fans are spoiled for choice in terms of how they want to give flare and personalization to their favorite weapons. Modern Warfare 3 also has Mastery Camos for its weapons, with each weapon having four completionist camouflages available for unlock in standard multiplayer. These camos are Gilded, Forged, Priceless, and Interstellar, with each subsequent completionist camo having a more striking effect, with Priceless and Interstellar being showstopping animated camouflages.
If this was not enough, the Zombies mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 comes with its own set of Mastery Camos, meaning players can work towards two sets of completely unique camouflages for the same weapon across modes. Through Zombies, players can unlock Golden Enigma, Zircon Scale, Serpentine, and Borealis, with these last two camos possessing the same animated qualities as their core multiplayer counterparts.
Modern Warfare 3's Camos Thrive Even Outside of Mastery Challenges
While these are examples of the most popular weapon camos for Modern Warfare 3, there are hundreds of other camouflage options that are tied to unique challenges for certain weapons, all featuring different patterns, decals, color schemes, and metallic qualities. Combined with other weapon customization options like Gun Screens, Charms, and Stickers, the huge wealth of camo options in Modern Warfare 3 is one of the most commendable aspects of the game's multiplayer offerings.
It is true that Call of Duty may have lost its way in recent years in relation to the rewards tied to things like calling cards and emblems, but MW3 is a shining example of the satisfying and addictive qualities behind a good range of in-game camos. With more camouflage options in CoD MW3 always becoming available through things like seasonal events and limited-time challenges, it is clear that MW3 sets a standard for weapon customization that deserves to be applauded.
