Does MW3 beta progress carry over & can you keep beta XP?

Knowing whether MW3 beta progress will carry over is essential for any player looking to get a head start in their Modern Warfare 3 grind.

The beta period will offer the community the ultimate opportunity to jump into MW3 and familiarise themselves with the gameplay, weapons, and of course, a few of the maps.

As mentioned, some fans will be keen to get as much XP as possible in the MW3 beta so they already have a lot of attachments unlocked at launch.

So, does the MW3 beta progress carry over, or is everyone reset back to a fresh account when Modern Warfare 3 arrives on November 10?

No, unfortunately, the progress you make in the Modern Warfare 3 beta will not carry over to the game's launch.

This is confirmed on the official Call of Duty beta page which states that "experience will not carry over from the Open Beta."

As a result, there's no point grinding out for attachments or focusing strictly on levelling up. Instead, it's best to enjoy the MW3 beta and use it as a time to get more experienced with the game.
