TheCall of Duty:Modern Warfare 3 (2023)campaign kicks off with a bang, but its over-reliance on the new Open Combat Missions holds it back somewhat.You can read our full impressions here, including what we made of the story.

Modern Warfare 3adds a ton of new Camos intoCall of Duty, so many in fact, that when you count the Camos returning from the previous game, there’s more than 900. Of course, the vast majority of these are base versions, with just 12 Master Camos to earn by completing challenges for each of your favorite weapons.

Whether you’re looking to add some flair toModern Warfare 3’s best weapons, or if you’re something of a completionist, the Mastery Camos offer a way to go the extra mile in both Multiplayer Mode and Zombies. This time around, there are even Camos that can be applied to guns fromModern Warfare 2, meaning there’s a good incentive to revisit some of your older loadouts while playing.

Here’s all of theModern Warfare 3Mastery Camos, as well as info on unlocking each one. We’ll show you what each one looks like, and list the challenges you’ll want to keep in mind, regardless of what mode you intend to jump into.
