In Fortnite, the many guest characters mostly worked well. But with Cod it just looks tasteless. Even in Overwatch, something like that works better. But Cod is the last place I want to see these weird skins.

 

[simpatico]

I've seen some YT vids about the hitboxes. Apparently they're the same hitbox as regular players despite the model being a lot bigger. Must make it hard to shoot them correctly.

 

[Kilau]

That's some goofy looking stuff, what's next?

 

[Tsaki]

Hey it works with the kids since they keep buying them. But it's a good reminder that it's still shit since Advanced Warfare

 

[Robochobo]

I agree OP. I just played a match and was upset that Lilith didn't dominate me these skins were both in the game.

OP clearly hasn't seen some of the CoD store offerings over the last year.

That's right I have never looked at the store. But while playing, I didn't notice much bad skins either. But that was also a few months ago.

 

[JokerMM]

i will never understand the appeal of shit like this. ever

 

[Drell]

They could've added them as heroes in HOTS but bobby decided this game is dead so...

 

[TrebleShot]

Endless trash

Endless trash

It's just vapid shit from people with zero imagination riding on the greatness of those before them. Like most things these days.

 

[Holammer]

I'm in the market for a shooter where everything is appropriately tacticool, no clown shoes or celebrity/hero skins.
Just grizzled manly men with ludicrous weapon customization and balaclavas available in three shades of black.

Yeah there have been some really out-there skins. CoD jumped this particular shark some time ago.

 

[PleazureDome]

Never forget this monstrosity they sold for last year's game. You assholes know who you are!

 

[DaleinCalgary]

That cannot be real

 

[Clintizzle]

They peaked with Nicki Minaj (my wife)

 

[T-0800]

I thought it was this one. Would have been a funnier choice.

 

[Three]

The should add Fonzie and a Shark skin too.

 

[PleazureDome]

The should add Fonzie and a Shark skin too.

Bruh, they already have Cats, Bunny's, a Gorilla, & Operators with Dogs on their back in the store right now.

A Shark is right around the corner...unless you mean this one:

 

[cripterion]

CoD has turned out to be one of the shittiest franchise... and no matter how much crap they throw in the game, it will still sell.

To think of the early days when the game was just a pure and fun multiplayer experience on pc...

 

[FoxMcChief]

Thank you Phil.

 

[Laieon]

But Cod is the last place I want to see these weird skins.

Didn't they add Nicki Minaj?

It was a poor joke about the game completely jumping the shark.
I'll show myself the door.

It utterly lost me past this point..

Wait for XDefiant, but this stuff is inevitable in any gaashit.

 

[salva]

I will never understand the fascination of out of place cosmetics. Looks absolutely disgusting. Never gonna play and not interested, but wonder if you can turn this all off in options so you don't see any stupid characters/designs etc.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Nah these are awesome, I've been running around as ash from evil dead two and it's an absolute blast.

edit: obligatory ew playstation branded trailer.

Ha! I should have got that reference. I'm old enough to remember when that aired.

 

[Pelta88]

WTF did I just watch?

 

[Rac3r]

The crossover cosmetics are nasty work.

Crazy how they ruined Warzone. Literally every facet of the game has gotten worse since late 2020.

 

[Three]

That's some goofy looking stuff, what's next?

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

I like the crazy skins. CoD is far from realistic at this point; might as well have fun with it. I wish there were more crazy/funny skins. If I could play as a Teletubbie, I'd do it.

 

[HoofHearted]

“They look completely out of place…”

 

[MiguelItUp]

I love all the dumb stuff personally. Like when they did all that dumb Carl's Jr collab stuff. The writing was on the wall, it was only a matter of time, lol. Besides, if you want a more "realistic" experience, there's plenty of other games that do it better. COD hasn't been that for a LONG time.

SHOOT YOU FOOLS

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

I absolutely hate this trend of online shooters adding these absurd skins and characters into games. COD, Halo Infinite, Gears, etc

The industry is in a bad place even if there are still many good games. This kind of thing is always there to drag down the experience (not just skins but pay to win mechanics, limited times events, always online, woke bullshit, etc etc).

It'd be a much more enjoyable hobby without all the crap.

 

[MikeM]

I’m still waiting for a proper titty skin.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

I will never understand the fascination of out of place cosmetics. Looks absolutely disgusting. Never gonna play and not interested, but wonder if you turn this all off in options so you don't see any stupid characters/designs etc.

They'd never give us that option because they're so fucking greedy. They know human behavior will see more people buying those skins simply by seeing other players with them. There's a subconscious desire to fit in that none of us are completely exempt from and the publishers know it. Every aspect of games today us designed to encourage microtransactions. Same idea behind commercials.

So it's here to stay. Sucks man. Last thing I wanna see playing Gears of War 5 is some asshole looking like fucking Sara Connor or Terminator while carrying a multicolored "pride" shotgun.
All these games that we've enjoyed and been immersed in for the past 15-20 years are like this now: Halo, BF, COD, Gears etc.

Actually, it's way worse than this- CrossPlay is now shoved down our throats in these games in hopes of driving up player numbers to sell more battle passes. So console gamers who used to be able to enjoy these games with a fair and even playingfield now have to go up against PC players on mouse and keyboard and have to deal with PC cheaters.

I'd it any wonder so many people are unhappy with multiplayer these days? Any wonder these games are literally dying?

[MoreJRPG]

Buying character skins in a FPS is shocking. Buying skins that look like that in what once was a military shooter defies all logic. Too many kiddos and teenagers with mommy's credit card these days.

 

[hinch7]

At least its an upgrade over Snoop Dog and Nicki Minaj. Just about.

 

[Fake]

This game is out of salvation.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Call of Duty looking to one up Fortnite.

Get Chester the Cheetah and the Trix Bunny and I’m in.

 

[NeonGhost]

I definitely got Ash to use in mw3 zombies

 

[Danjin44]

This one is even more out of place….


I don’t even know the logic behind it.

It's promotion for diablo 4. They're getting pretty desperate.
