Too many dumb skins in this game

[GhostHawk196]

Call of Duty is a military themed shooter, back in the good ol days, Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, World at War, Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops, Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops 2 were perfect military themed with no one running around in dumb rat skins or Santa hats.

Now we have some dumb YouTuber as a skin, a rat head, some big bulky guy in tight pants and a bulge, Easter bunnies, Santa Claus and a lot more dumb skins on the map. It’s just not what people want.

Only military skins should be allowed in Call of Duty

I mean, what you're asking for doesn't exist. Ye olde cod, hell, games in general aren't what they used to be. Now, if you want things to not be so ridiculous with MTX that doesn't fit the game type, you need to go to indie games. And for shooters, that means military sims.

This isn't one, it's a mainstream arcade shooter and the people of today like flashy colors and things that stand out. As much as people don't like it, obviously there is a storefront like it for a reason; people gobble em up. It's one of those things the newer generation has decided they like and it's going to stay. Buckle up and get used to it.

They should've saved all those dumb stuff for Cold War 2

They do this so they can make easy money on the stupid ♥♥♥♥♥ that waste their money for the overpriced ugly skins that you can't even see.

I have been seeing alot of reused skins in CODM that green roze skin got reused for like the third time

Activision made a lot of money from dem juicy football skins that people can't resist. Players are throwing money and supporting them making skins, screw the gameplay.

We getting nikki minaj, snoop dogg, izzy and lara croft now. It's getting even worse. Everything from MW2 gets carried over to MW3 so MW3 will have these trash skins to begin with lmfao

I have to agree, I do not like the out of place skins.
Not just the celeb, footballer and streamer skins, but also the ridiculous other skins, like Ghost with a crystal skull as a head, or a literal cat operator.

I can accept (to an extent) the somewhat futuristic skins like Arthur, but all the weird glowy effects and the ones that lean further into weird effects just look ridiculous.

It bothers me that we don't have more tactical skins, I would have loved if the Shadow Company skin you use in Shadow Siege was handed out as an operator skin, potentially as an alternate skin for the ranger (I know we already have the barrage skin but a generic armored shadow merc would be nice).

Even just in general some more generic tactical military skins would be nice. Have some Los Vaqueros skins, SAS, Shadow Company, etc...

It's a shame that the vast majority of triple A games are taking this route. R6 Siege has done a similar approach recently with Rick and Morty skins and now a (rumoured) master chief skin.

The biggest problem I have with these skins is visibility. They're all so vastly different, with different colors and even different visual effects, that often times I have trouble seeing them, or realizing that they're not dead in time to not aim at them instead of the camper hiding deep in the shadows of the back of the building.

That and the fact that there is no rhyme or reason to teams, so many times in multiplayer I have died because I've hesitated not knowing whether an operator is an enemy or not.

You can't even decide based on their factions considering Graves and Velikan are Kortac and the barrage ranger and Arthur are Specgru, despite all supposedly being Shadow Company operators.
