Modern Warfare 3 is just over a month away, and we've compiled all the best options for pre-ordering the latest Call of Duty release, including bonuses, beta access and the best deals.

Modern Warfare 3 is the third title in the rebooted Modern Warfare trilogy and is set to launch next month on November 10, 2023. However, it's one of the most unique Call of Duty releases ever, as it's a direct sequel, releasinh just one year after Modern Warfare 2. Rumours before the game's reveal claim that the release was originally conceived as an expansion to Modern Warfare 2, skipping a normal release, but clearly Activision decided against that and is going ahead with the full release.

Pre-ordering the game will net you early access to the Modern Warfare 3 beta when that launches on Thursday, October 12. With PlayStation owners getting to play the beta a week earlier on Friday, October 6.
