However, the big question remains: will ranks and level progression from Modern Warfare 2 carry over to Modern Warfare 3?
Will MW2 ranks and levels carry forward to MW3?
Regarding the specific question of whether ranks and level progress in Modern Warfare 2 transfer to Modern Warfare 3, the answer is no.
The progression system, including Rank and Prestige XP, is unique to each game. This means that while you can level up a weapon from Modern Warfare 2 in Modern Warfare 3, the Rank and Prestige XP you earn will apply only to the game in which you are leveling up the weapon, either MWII or MWIII, but not both.

While Call of Duty’s Carry Forward system allows for a broad range of content to be transferred from a previous Modern Warfare title to a new one, it does not extend to transferring ranks and level progress.
For those aiming to climb ranks and Prestige in Modern Warfare 3, they will need to achieve this through matches and objectives within MW3. With the maximum level cap currently set at 55 until Season 1, players should have no trouble leveling up quickly before the next five Prestige levels are introduced in December.
