It’s the week of Independence Day for the Americans. This means it’s also the time to express one’s patriotism towards the country. And when it comes to celebrating this theme, Call of Duty never misses the mark. Just like like every year, the devs have recently introduced a brand new bundle for Modern Warfare II and Warzone ahead of July 4th.
However, the fans are not very happy to receive this specific pack. Instead, most of them have called out the makers for recycling old content to resell in the latest game. But why is it happening?

In case anyone missed it, the latest bundle was just added to the ongoing installment ahead of the US Independence Day. Titled ‘Tracer Pack: Butch’, it has got nine items in total. Apart from the main Operator character, there are two weapon blueprints, the Soaring Eagle vehicle skin, an eagle weapon charm, an Active Duty operator slot for DMZ, and more. Being an exclusive bundle, it’s available for 2400 CoD Points ($19.99).
Following its debut in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II’s in-game store, many players have noticed a similarity between a particular weapon blueprint of this bundle and an old cosmetic from Warzone 1 in 2020. Well, the controversial blueprint is the Dawn’s Light for the M4 assault rifle; it’s featured in the July 4 pack.
A lot of fans have concluded that the devs are basically trying to resell a three-year-old weapon cosmetic for M4 which was initially revealed in Season 4 of 2019’s rebooted Modern Warfare. To make it obvious, media outlet CharlieIntel also confirmed that it is the case indeed. Have a look at the website’s tweet below:

Franchise lovers called out the makers for having a careless attitude while trying to make more money by simply churning out old blueprints from Warzone 1. “Another copy and paste. Talent!”, wrote an individual while taking a jab at the developing team for being lazy.
Another copy and paste. Talent!

I still don’t understand why they can’t just give us the blueprints we had in the other games. Since they are practically a carbon copy!
