Summary
ACall of Duty: Warzoneplayer made an amusing discovery regarding how similar one of its guns looks to a Nintendo 64. The gun in question was added as a part ofCall of Duty: Warzone’s Blackcell Battle Pass.
Call of Duty: Warzone(formerly labeledWarzone 2.0) first released as a companion game to 2022’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2and it also set to tie into the upcomingModern Warfare 3. Both titles wrap up aCall of Dutytrilogy, rebooting one of its most well-known subseries. Releasing to a mostly positive reception,Warzoneis currently on its sixth seasonof post-release content, which added numerous Ranked Play rewards, weapons, character skins, and battle maps, alongside the usual bug fixes, gameplay adjustments, and rewards for players of the previous season.
Among the newest weapons inCall of Duty: Warzoneis the ISO 9mm gun, which like most guns in the game, has several blueprint and camo colors that players can dress it up in. Reddit user SHRED-209 posted images of five colored skins of said firearm viewed from an upward-angled, first-person perspective: red, blue, purple, green, and orange. They then posted them side-by-side with the Funtastic Nintendo 64 consoles of the same colors, and the resemblance is uncanny to say the least. Those models of the Nintendo 64 were all released by the year 2000.
Fellow Redditors in the comments appeared impressed by the discovery. When asked how exactly these skins were made, the OP explained that they had to equip the clear blueprint and then apply the colored camos. Others used the comment section as an opportunity to express theirnostalgia for the Nintendo 64 itself. One user compared it visually to the old cordless phones from Vtech, and another expressed disdain for the fact that new weapons and skins cannot be bought individually and must be bundled in with the seasons and passes.
It’s always amusing to see parallels between a seemingly random pair of video games, whether it be a random coincidence, or an intentional act of respect on the part of the developers, having found inspiration from someone else’s project. AsCall of Duty: Warzonecontinues through Season 6and moves onward from there, it should be cool to see what other parallels players find between it and other games.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
