“Over the Money Hungry Cod Company” – Call of Duty Community Voice Sheer Disappointment on Getting Recycled Warzone 1 Skins

Call Of Duty Warzone community is in shackles after Infinity Ward tricked them into buying similar cosmetics from Warzone 1 and Modern Warfare. 

In-game cosmetics play a vital role in the game’s success as it helps developers set up a monetization scheme. Through them, companies can churn out massive revenue, allowing players to choose different skins, outfits, skills, power-ups, and more. For years, all titles have featured them according to their needs, inviting players to spend the extra cash on buying something from the exclusive store.

Fortnite can be one of the best examples as they always try to bring new things every week. However, they have faced major backlash multiple times when they released a similar cosmetic from the past, re-coloring and adding slightly different effects.  Similarly, it looks like the issue has now been raised by Call Of Duty fans as they are unhappy with the recently released skins amidst season 3. They feel that it does not have any originality and is just a rip-off; of the previous ones. 

Call Of Duty Warzone 2 community disappointed with devs after they feature ‘old-yet-new’ cosmetics 

With the release of Season 3 in Call Of Duty Warzone 2, the developers added a bunch of cosmetics to the game. Sadly, that did not sit well with the players as they called out the franchise for releasing ‘pay-to-win’ bundles. Looking at this, Infinity Ward again decided to give it another try and add a few more skins and kill effects to their library.

But well, it looks like this is clearly not their week as fans have again shut them down with their opinions. Apparently, the entire community looks disappointed with the skins as they can easily make out that designers only ‘re-colored’ them and dropped them. 

On April 18, they released a new bundle called Tracer Pack: Dr. Kushlov, a cannabis-themed bundle that cost 2,400 COD Points. It features similar assets from 2019’s Modern Warfare and includes a Kastov 762 variant called the Vaporizer. Fans have found that it looks far similar to the Resonant AK-47, but instead of electric bullets, the recently released skin fires green tracers with a smoke puff death effect. Dr. Kushlov’s operator skin finds its similarities to Bale’s Dr. Karlov skin from Modern Warfare.

So, let’s look at how fans reacted to this entire bundle and understand their thoughts and opinions behind it. Here’s what they had to say.

All in all, it looks like it has not been a good week for Infinity Ward till now, and we hope that they bring something new to calm the storm.
