Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and 3 Content Does Not Carry Forward Into Black Ops 6

Black Ops 6 acts as a “fresh start for everyone,” developer Treyarch has confirmed.

2023's Modern Warfare 3 carried forward content from Modern Warfare 2 into the game. However, in Black Ops 6, fully revealed during Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase and Call of Duty Direct, only Black Ops 6 content will be available to use across Multiplayer and Zombies.

In an interview with IGN, Miles Leslie, associate creative director at Treyarch, said Black Ops 6 is “a fresh start.” This means that when Black Ops 6 comes out in October, players will not be playing Multiplayer and Zombies modes in the many and varied skins they’ve already bought for Modern Warfare 3 and Modern Warfare 2. Yes, that means you don't have to worry about killer clowns and Warhammer 40,000 soldiers ruining that early 90s look and feel.

It also means you won't see operators from the Modern Warfare sub-brand, which is currently set years after the events of Black Ops 6, confusing matters.

“So, day one, you won't be running around with any of those skins, so that it doesn't break that immersion in that narrative we want,” Leslie explained. “Now, of course, we're going to add those things into post-launch. We know players like those stuff, and then we'll find really cool things that tie to Black Ops lore and also new exciting stuff as well.”

There is one exception to this rule: the Black Ops 6 Vault Edition Woods Operator Pack preorder benefit. It is currently available in Modern Warfare 3 and will carry forward into Black Ops 6, Activision said.

On the other hand, some players said they appreciated the fact the money they'd spent on content for Modern Warfare 2 did not go to waste just a year later.

Despite this fresh start for "premium" Call of Duty players, as Activision calls it, Black Ops 6 content will integrate into Warzone and sit alongside all the Modern
