Anyone who pre-ordered can get an early jump on the campaign, and earn quite a few multiplayer rewards by playing it. All of this is kind of a genius move on Infinity Ward’s part.

Many people simply never play the campaign, jumping right into multiplayer once the game launches.

By completing missions in the game, you unlock a bunch of stuff for Multiplayer including calling cards, emblems, XP tokens and even Operators. Here’s the full list of rewards and how to unlock them in the campaign: ‘Soap’s Determination’ calling card – complete ‘Strike’ mission ‘What’s Done Is Done’ emblem – complete ‘Kill or Capture’ mission 30 Minute Double XP Token – complete ‘Wetwork’ mission 30 Minute Double Weapon XP Token – complete ‘Tradecraft’ mission ‘Chainlinked’ calling card – complete ‘Borderline’ mission Chuy Base Operator – complete ‘Cartel Protection’ mission 30 Minute Double XP Token – complete ‘Close Air’ mission 30 Minute Double Weapon XP Token – complete ‘Hardpoint’ mission ‘Gaz’ calling card – complete ‘Recon By Fire’ mission Nova Base Operator – complete ‘Violence And Training’ mission 1 Hour Double XP Token – complete ‘El Sin Nombre’ mission 1 Hour Double Weapon XP Token – complete ‘Dark Water’ mission ‘Shadow Company Ops’ calling card – complete ‘Alone’ mission Reyes Base Operator – complete ‘Prison Break’ mission 1 Hour Double XP Token – complete ‘Hindsight’ mission 1 Hour Double Weapon XP Token – complete ‘Ghost Team’ mission Hutch Base Operator – complete ‘Countdown’ mission Union Guard weapon blueprint – complete the campaign Campaign rewards Credit: Infinity Ward That Union Guard weapon blueprint is the best of the bunch. It’s Captain Price’s signature weapon, and you have to beat the whole game to unlock it.

The blueprint comes with four pre-equipped attachments: the Aim OP-V4 Reflex Optic, the SZ 1MW PEQ Laser, the FSS Covert V Silencer on the Muzzle, and the Lockgrip Precision-40 Underbarrel Vertical Grip. This makes the assault rifle an all-around great starting weapon for multiplayer, Warzone 2. 0 and the DMZ, as well as upcoming Raids.

Modern Warfare II’s full multiplayer experience launches on October 28th. Follow me on Twitter . Check out my website .
