Ps3 – Call of Duty on PS3, local play and ranking

call-of-duty-seriesps3

We're looking into creating a small gaming club at work where we meet and play Call of Duty on PS3 using "LAN Play" so that it's only us at work that will play together.

The question is, will we be able to create local characters that will get XP, ranks, unlocks, etc.? Or will we have to play some kind of online play to get those things?

We don't care if the characters are locked to local play, if that is even possible, since this is just local play fun.

So, is this possible? If this is possible in one of the CoD games on PS3 I would like to know which one, but I suspect this borders on asking for recommendations.

Best Answer

The following Call of Duty's support LAN-play on the PS3:

  • Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
  • Call of Duty 5: World at War
  • Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2
  • Call of Duty 7: Black Ops
  • Call of Duty 8: Modern Warfare 3
  • Call of Duty 9: Black Ops 2
  • Call of Duty 10: Ghosts

Situation for MW2: (I'm not quite sure but I think the concept is the same for all)

Each Playstation profile has one save for LAN-play+splitscreen-play (an offline save) and a seperate one for online-play.

All progress you make on LAN will be saved to your LAN-play+splitscreen-play save. All progress you make online will be saved to your online-play save.

It is not possible to use your offline save for online games.
