Don't worry; the process is pretty straightforward. Let's walk through how to get Modern Warfare 3 installed, whether you're on PC or console.

Installing on PC

First off, let's cover the PC installation, which generally involves using either Steam or Battle.net. Call of Duty has primarily been on Battle.net, but with recent changes, it's also available on Steam. Depending on where you bought your game, the steps will vary slightly, but both are quite user-friendly. If you purchased Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 directly through Battle.net, the installation process is integrated seamlessly within the Blizzard ecosystem. To begin, make sure you have the Battle.net desktop app installed on your computer. If you don’t have it yet, head over to the official Battle.net website and download the app. Once installed, log in using your Battle.net account credentials. If you’re new to Battle.net, you’ll need to create an account—this is a quick and free process. After logging in, navigate to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 game page. You can usually find this by searching for the game in the app's search bar or by looking through the list of available games. On the game page, you should see an “Install” button. Click this button, and a pop-up window will appear, prompting you to select your installation preferences. Here, you can choose the location where you want the game files to be stored. Make sure you have enough free space on your selected drive to accommodate the game's installation size. Once you’ve chosen your installation location, click “Start Install.” The Battle.net app will then begin downloading the game files. You can monitor the progress of the download in the app’s download section. The download time will depend on your internet speed and the size of the game files, so be patient. While the game is downloading, you can adjust various settings in the Battle.net app, such as download speed limits and update preferences, to optimize the process. Once the download is complete, the game will automatically install itself. After installation, the “Install” button will change to a “Play” button. Click “Play” to launch Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and start your gaming adventure. Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date to ensure smooth gameplay. Enjoy!
