As for PC preloading, those who buy Modern Warfare 3 digitally on PC can preload the game ahead of launch. Preloading is also available for campaign early access, and on PC begins on November 1 at 9am Pacific / 12noon Eastern / 4pm UK, with early access itself going live on November 2 at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 5pm UK.
