Summary
Call of Dutyplayers voiced their concerns over skins that were recently added to the game.Call of Dutyis charging full price for cosmetics that some would argue aren’t worthy of such a value.
In keeping with a series tradition over recent years,Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s Season 1 update came with a plethora of skinsfor battle pass owners to unlock. While these skins are earnable by simply playing the game for those who purchase the battle pass,Call of Dutyalso offers a wide selection of buyable skins in its Store section. Historically, skins that are a part of the Store’s premium bundles are often visually interesting or unique, helping to tempt players towards forking over the hefty 2400 COD Points (about $24) in exchange for the cosmetic bundles. However, a new bundle recently added toCall of Duty’s Store page has led players to express their frustrations over the game’s newest cosmetics.
On December 28,Call of Dutyadded the Null & Void bundle to its Store. This bundle is priced at 2400 COD Points and features two skins, two blueprints, a calling card, a decal, and an emblem. Players quickly realized that the two skins in this bundle are simply recolored versions of previously released characters. This realization, along with the blueprints' lack of tracer features, which are often included with bundles priced at 2400 COD Points, led players to become concerned withCall of Duty’s newest approach to premium bundles.Call of Dutyfans took to the popularModern Warfare 3subreddit to voice their concerns.
Some fans commented that players should simply not purchase this new bundle to show their frustration. While it’s possible that this bundle is a test to see if future cosmetic packs with similar offerings can be sold at this price point, it’s also possible that Activision has reason to believe that this bundle will still sell well, regardless of it seeming unsatisfactory to most players. It’s still unclear ifCall of Dutywill continue with this approach to premium cosmetic bundles. In contrast to this new bundle,Call of Dutyrecently released twoDune-themed bundlesthat featured two unique skins, new finishing moves, and blueprints with tracer features at the same price of 2400 COD Points.
This isn’t the only skin controversy in recentCall of Dutyhistory.Call of Duty’s Gaia skin, which was locked behind a battle pass paywall, sparked outrage among the game’s community for being unfair and nearly invisible in certain scenarios. The skin has since been removed from the game so that it can be fixed.
Recently,Call of Dutyplayers noticed a comical and somewhat unsettling bugon the new Bad Biker skin. This visual glitch caused the skin’s eyes to be visible through its blacked-out visor.
