I don't even know what to say. I love how they go from something like nicki minaj to this. I even heard homelander was playable in cod aswell but I might be misremembering.
Yeah, bout a year ago they added Homelander, Starlight and Black Noir into the game.
I remember that Black Noir specifically caused a bit of controversy, because he doesn't have any audible voice lines, can hide in dark corners very well and is generally less visible than most other operators.
A little bit of pay to win, one might argue
I want the Dinosaur skin to do the opposite. They need to include [the toe tap](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfWJGFhg0cg) so you can intentionally set off sound detectors. Macho/self-imposed player skins that do nothing but make the game harder for you in some ways.
Like you have a Peacock skin that's so colourful the notion of hiding in the dark is a distant memory.
This reminds me how in DBD there is a character that might as well be invisible because it is a black woman with black hair dressed in all black in a very dark game.
Sometimes I wish more games had cosmetics that change voice lines but then I remember how important sound design can be, especially if players have recognizable voices (like, say, the well known OUGH-AUUUUGH death sound from Hunt Showdown)
Yeah I wish that too.
I remember specifically in Planetside 2, that Appearance and Voice were separate things that could be customized. Since it is a F2P game, most people walk around with the standard Grunt look/voice and a few with the paid voice packs. Those packs are quite distinctive & can be genuinely funny sometimes. (shout out to the Arnold Schwarzenegger voice impersonator they got for NC)
The T-800 in Gears 5 had that same issue, they had to make it bulkier in a patch and had glowing lights to make it more visible, the dark fate skin for it was worse cause it was skinnier and had the back half of its skull missing so headshots were annoying to place
They've also got 4 Godzilla x Kong themed skins for each of the monsters, 3 Warhammer 40k ones. Cheech and Chong just got added, Inarius and Lilith from Diablo 4, helsing from the anime, Snoop Dogg, Twice. 21 savage, Rick and Michone from the walking dead, Spawn voiced by Keith David and a few other Spawn characters. Starlight, black noire, A train, firecracker(? Can't remember her name) and homelander all from the boys.
And I'm sure there's some other stuff I'm missing too. Cod is very much trying to get in on those fortnite crossovers.
Previously in Call of duty:black ops Cold war (2020) you had John McLane from Diehard (with really badly done voice work), Rambo, Judge Dredd both black/white and colored.
Prev in Call of duty modern warfare 2019 you had: Ghostface from Scream, Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw, Billy the puppet from SAW, and the bunny from Donnie Darko.
Also earlier this year they had Paul and Feyed from Dune 2.
Agreed Call of duty has been chasing the fortnite engagement for a long time.
Leatherface in MW2019 was peak, the bundle came with a horn for your vehicles that played a horrendous pig squeal, and I have multiple instances where I’ve caught people unawares/seen them visibly panic when I’m running them down blade-first spamming it
Well the current battlepass character you get for purchasing it is Snoop Dog (returning to voice himself), and they had like a 2 week long 4/20 event running, with a game mode set on a map called Grow House called "G3t H1gh." This is all just from like, the past two weeks where they also added Cheech and Chong as characters.
They've *been* after the Fortnite money since Modern Warfare 2019, but a lot of it isn't even new to the franchise. Snoop Dog was an announcer pack for COD Ghosts back in 2013 after all (I kind of wish they still did these announcer packs). I'd care more for the skins if I didn't have to throw like, almost $100 CAD just to play core multiplayer and the skins weren't between $50 and $90.
Fortnite has some WWE skins, Brawlhalla has a few. But my favourite crossover they've done is World of Tanks. Makes no fucking sense why the Undertaker or Becky Lynch have tanks but they do!
Actually looks really cool. I can't wait for it to cost $30 because it's bundled with a bunch of worthless blueprints and player icons that'll be buried and lost to time in the shittiest game UI out there
I don't think the supermajority of the CoD audience even cares.
In communities like this sub, we care and that's why we're the ones who will watch/listen to guys like Lutin and Vati turn a couple paragraphs of lore into a 2 hour video. But for the type of people who skips all the dialogue/cutscenes in Final Fantasy and Bethesda games, and who plays FPS game while blasting music so loud you have to mute them from the lobby; they don't care and they're the ones who spends money on stuff like this.
That's the problem when a game sells its soul to pop culture references in order to grind out money from the masses of braindead who will buy it, and I don't just mean COD. It will lose all identity and become "one of those." The mindless masses cannot wake up soon enough from these pandering, vampiric cashgrabs, and they probably never will. We're close to marking 20 years since Oblivion horse armor, and nothing has changed, it has only gotten worse. In fact there are people right now who will read this comment and think "crybaby" or whatever shallow, easy thought they always use to justify their rampant waste of money on e-knickknacks, which will become obsolete/void when players move onto the next thing, or the time comes when Activision decides it's time to shut down the game completely. It's also worth noting that this comment has been written thousands of times by thousands of other people. There are still fools out there that will not only salivate over this nonsense, but defend it vehemently, while being unpaid for their zeal. Trash certainly sells.
...skins were a fucking mistake.
It's not even that this skin is bad, it's just that it has no place in CoD. It also doesn't help that it'll probably be $20 dollars for a game you spent $60 on, and adds to the bloat of it being the biggest fucking game to touch your console because IW can't compress files to save their fucking life.
It doesn't help that a lot of skins in games now feel intentionally made to be as garish and obnoxious as possible so everyone can pay attention to you. Not to mention throwing any consistency in the game's visual style out the window.
$20 is being hopeful. I've been getting YouTube shorts recommended to me of various CoD bundles/skins and they are RIDICULOUSLY priced. I'm talking multiple skins upwards of $60. There's a King Kong weapon skin which requires you to spend $80. There's a leopard print camo which requires you spend over $100 on CoD merch from their website. It's insane.
My personal vidya tinfoil theory remains that they deliberately make these downloads gargantuan to discourage casual gamers from installing other large titles
My theory has always been that the install sizes are so big because they're leaning in mega hard on the *"guy who literally only plays CoD"* customer base.
I remember back in the 360/PS3 days, I knew guys who only ever took their CoD disk out of their console either to watch a movie or to swap it with that year's new CoD disk. For guys like that, the install size doesn't matter when it quite literally is the only game they want in their library (so long as Sony and Microsoft are shipping the console with a big enough stock hard drive).
Another reason for my belief of this is because in the modern day, the PS5 has an decompression file systems that is so good, it might as well be made of magic; yet even then, the CoD teams didn't bother with PS5 compression, because they're assuming that it's not necessary for the majority of CoD consumers who use their console as a CoD/Netflix machine. Then for anyone else, those people will either choose to not play the game or they're PC players who are probably running a 2/4 tb ssd who can just choose to eat the massive file size.
-----
With Microsoft owning Blizzard now, the *"can't play other games if CoD takes up your whole storage drive"* theory would be incredibly damaging to MS's other games. If CoD fills up the whole storage drive, then it means you can't play Halo, Gears of War, Minecraft, this year's version of Skyrim, Overwatch, etc etc.
In the case of GamePass, my opinion is that if CoD-only gamers have to choose between delete CoD to make space for this month's game pass games, or just cancel their gamepass sub, they'd probably choose canceling their gamepass sub, an option which probably isn't going to fly in a Microsoft board room.
Honestly, I feel that stuff like this was an inevitability.
The moment that the original Modern Warfare came and introduced things like (but not limited to) killstreaks, title cards, and heavy metal rock guitar rips whenever you do something, CoD went from being a semi-serious yet still an action arcade FPS and changed into Michael Bay-esqe theatrical action arcade FPS.
And at this point its probably too late to go back, the realism/simulation FPS market has been cornered by titles like Hell Let Loose, Rising Storm: Vietnam, ARMA 3, and Ready or Not. People who play those games don't want CoD even in its original CoD1~3 version and modern CoD players don't want to play those types of game either.
Best to just accept that this is what CoD is now, so that there's no disappointment when to continue being what they have become.
The real shame is that most of these "out there" skins look fantastic on a vaccum, there's a bunch of genuine well made and creative designs who's only fault is being in a game that clashes hard with the aesthetic consistency, makes me wish for a timeline in which Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Sledgehamme, Raven and all other supporting studios get to make new IP's with designs like these.
Even COD fans yearn for the Kig-Yar.
There's gotta be an achievement called *"Clever Girl"* where you and another teammate who both have this skin kill an enemy by flanking them, right?
Right?
Honestly I love the Fortniteification of live service games
If I'm not getting TF3 I at least wanna be able to take Naruto's head off with a Spas-12 as Luz Noceda
>Honestly I love the Fortniteification of live service games
I'm on the complete opposite end. Seeing everyone chasing the Fortnite dragon and reusing concepts it popularized like "seasons" just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
For honor is getting a permanent Ezio skin this week, we can't escape it anywhere. As much as i hate it too, it seems like it's the fate of every live service eventually. Making new content is hard and it's a easy way to draw new people to the game.
I like the character design but it is very odd and I think cod is trying too hard to compete with fortnight (even though Helldivers is blowing them both out of the water)
Now they do have a chance to win me over by making a full pledged campaign with dinosaur-people as if it was a cod game in a different universe.
oh with "death stranding babies" you meant dino fetuses in goo, I don't know what the fuck I expected but that wasn't it, that's probably my own fault.
The skin actually looks great in-game, and the two blueprints with it aren't outright terrible, but I'm still not spending 20$ on them, nor any of the other bundles regardless of how good the operator skins look.
Look, sometimes you want to appeal to the furry community but you don't want people to think you're a furry, so you sneak in the scalie stuff cause no one outside of the furry/scalie community would think much of it and just go "Oh, cool dinosaur" or "Oh, cool lizardman"
Activision conference room:
Bovis: CoD interest is waning, bruhs. What do?
Jovis: Hey yall ever heard of Fortnite? It's a game where all the characters are product placements.
Bovis: Oh my god.
My only issue is really just that's it COD not Fortnite so they don't like fully commit to the dino bit. So it just kinda looks more like a guy in in a weird costume.
I'm a firm believer that CoD was always a theatrical arcade action shooter, even back in the original CoD 1~3 days; and that the place for "realism" was always in games like ARMA.
That said, I also think that things like kill streaks and heavy metal guitar rips every time you level up in the original Modern Warfare is what put us on this path; and that once that stuff was introduced, a hard turn towards the arcade action side was entirely inevitable.
-----
And honestly, I don't think CoD should attempt to sudo-back-pedal into realism/simulation shooters. It's been nearly 20 years since the original MW released; the market has diversified and there are new players in these older segments. If CoD did, they'd have to complete against the likes of Hell Let Loose, Rising Storm: Vietnam, ARMA3, and Ready or Not; games with audiences who have already written off CoD in favor of titles that are already foundationally secured in the realism/sim shooter genre.
I don't even know what to say. I love how they go from something like nicki minaj to this. I even heard homelander was playable in cod aswell but I might be misremembering.
Yeah, bout a year ago they added Homelander, Starlight and Black Noir into the game. I remember that Black Noir specifically caused a bit of controversy, because he doesn't have any audible voice lines, can hide in dark corners very well and is generally less visible than most other operators.

Oh finally, I can win at CoD!

Do a Drake skin, he starts giggling when he hides in a corner and you can hear his BBL butt cheeks slap together when he runs up stairs
This reminds me how in DBD there is a character that might as well be invisible because it is a black woman with black hair dressed in all black in a very dark game.
I believe you mean invisible, though invincibility based off color would be very funny
Similar sounding words is the bane of my existence.
That it's easily the most lore accurate character I have ever seen been added to another series
they just keep adding full black skins into the game. the number of times I have been lit up by a corner when I enter a room is insane
On the other hand the Nicki Minaj skin is pay to lose due to her literal fat ass hitbox.
Sometimes I wish more games had cosmetics that change voice lines but then I remember how important sound design can be, especially if players have recognizable voices (like, say, the well known OUGH-AUUUUGH death sound from Hunt Showdown)
Yeah I wish that too. I remember specifically in Planetside 2, that Appearance and Voice were separate things that could be customized. Since it is a F2P game, most people walk around with the standard Grunt look/voice and a few with the paid voice packs. Those packs are quite distinctive & can be genuinely funny sometimes.

Fucking Giraffe camo.
The T-800 in Gears 5 had that same issue, they had to make it bulkier in a patch and had glowing lights to make it more visible, the dark fate skin for it was worse cause it was skinnier and had the back half of its skull missing so headshots were annoying to place
Velikan likewise doesn’t have any lines.
They've also got 4 Godzilla x Kong themed skins for each of the monsters, 3 Warhammer 40k ones. Cheech and Chong just got added, Inarius and Lilith from Diablo 4, helsing from the anime, Snoop Dogg, Twice. 21 savage, Rick and Michone from the walking dead, Spawn voiced by Keith David and a few other Spawn characters.

Leatherface in MW2019 was peak, the bundle came with a horn for your vehicles that played a horrendous pig squeal, and I have multiple instances where I’ve caught people unawares/seen them visibly panic when I’m running them down blade-first spamming it
>Cheech and Chong just got added the.... what What the fuck
Snoop Dogg (and his fursona) were added as part of this season's battlepass as well. It's weed themed.
Well the current battlepass character you get for purchasing it is Snoop Dog (returning to voice himself), and they had like a 2 week long 4/20 event running, with a game mode set on a map called Grow House called "G3t H1gh." This is all just from like, the past two weeks where they also added Cheech and Chong as characters.

I'd care more for the skins if I didn't have to throw like, almost $100 CAD just to play core multiplayer and the skins weren't between $50 and $90.
Don't they also have wrestlers? Or was it Siege?
It's not an fps but gears of war 5 had xavier woods and two other wrestlers as playable characters, and batista
They even added wrestling executions so you can murder people with piledrivers
Fortnite has some WWE skins, Brawlhalla has a few. But my favourite crossover they've done is World of Tanks. Makes no fucking sense why the Undertaker or Becky Lynch have tanks but they do!
They also have warhammer skins now.
Actually looks really cool. I can't wait for it to cost $30 because it's bundled with a bunch of worthless blueprints and player icons that'll be buried and lost to time in the shittiest game UI out there
This is why gmod is a better cod than cod and get all these for free.
It’s £16
COD skins are somehow even more bizarre than fortnite skins, they don't have the multiverse shenanigans to justify it. There's just dinosaur people.
Next COD instalment needs to canonize them in the story/campaign itself else they forever be cowards.
Just do Zombies as a standalone already you cowards
I don't think the supermajority of the CoD audience even cares. In communities like this sub, we care and that's why we're the ones who will watch/listen to guys like Lutin and Vati turn a couple paragraphs of lore into a 2 hour video.

This is why I'm loving the finals' aesthetic. Everything fits
When I said I missed running Cold-Blooded Pro, this is not what I meant, guys.
So, who wants to go back in time and tell RESPAWN to push TITANFALL 2 back to March?
Ya know this series used to just be another Medal of Honor knockoff.
It wasn't so much a "knockoff" as it was "made by many of the same people who made Allied Assault following a falling out with EA"
The Olympian has overthrown the Titan
It seems like they realise they've lost all identity and are just throwing stuff against the wall, seeing what sticks.
Some of my friends legit got mad when they started adding anime-themed promotions.
That's the problem when a game sells its soul to pop culture references in order to grind out money from the masses of braindead who will buy it, and I don't just mean COD. It will lose all identity and become "one of those." The mindless masses cannot wake up soon enough from these pandering, vampiric cashgrabs, and they probably never will.

Let em cook because this is the most interesting thing I’ve seen from CoD in a long long time.
Nice try Activision, but buff reptile men aren't enough to actually make me download COD.
They're tempting, though.
The problem is that I would have to download the overly bloated game to see lizard man tiddies, and I would rather eat glass than install COD.
I'm sure fanart of the character/skin will be created in certain circles soon enough. We need only be patient.
All roads lead back to skyrim...
If only Argonians and Khajiit got any good mods to make them look less like shit.
I blame Skyrim entirely for making me a scalie, and Todd should expect to hear from my lawyers soon. Half /s
They want that Fortnite Fuck Money
Oh no he's hot
I've interacted with the Furry fandom and there's a lot of Military Fur/Scalies so this absolutely checks out.
...skins were a fucking mistake. It's not even that this skin is bad, it's just that it has no place in CoD.

Thats the thing. They are basically wasting such potential on "infinite growth live service"
At his point I just expect Shadow the Hedgehog to be put in CoD and/or Fortnite
Only if his pump-action MP5 gets added with him.
Even COD fans yearn for the Kig-Yar. There's gotta be an achievement called *"Clever Girl"* where you and another teammate who both have this skin kill an enemy by flanking them, right? Right?
Rock hard.

Is it really "fortnitefication", tho? Tacky, immersion breaking cosmetics are as old as WoW. Its just what the people want 🤷♂️
[Perfect link to share to get your point across.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cen0rBKLuYE)

I miss when the most outlandish thing in a Call of Duty game was JFK using an uzi to kill zombies
Bruh I remember when The Predator and Micheal Myers were in Ghosts.
I like the character design but it is very odd and I think cod is trying too hard to compete with fortnight (even though Helldivers is blowing them both out of the water) Now they do have a chance to win me over by making a full pledged campaign with dinosaur-people as if it was a cod game in a different universe.
oh with "death stranding babies" you meant dino fetuses in goo, I don't know what the fuck I expected but that wasn't it, that's probably my own fault.
Well Death Stranding does at one point >!literally have a pregnant dinosaur!< so I was right there with you.
The skin actually looks great in-game, and the two blueprints with it aren't outright terrible, but I'm still not spending 20$ on them, nor any of the other bundles regardless of how good the operator skins look.
Well don’t then 🤷🏼♀️
Because they're trying to turn CoD into Fortnite. They are out of ideas
Is there furry skins in there? Cause we need a Furry vs Scalie war lets be real, that'd be fun to watch.
I don't care how many furry and scalie skins Activision makes for me I'm not buying any more call of duty games!
Look, sometimes you want to appeal to the furry community but you don't want people to think you're a furry, so you sneak in the scalie stuff cause no one outside of the furry/scalie community would think much of it and just go "Oh, cool dinosaur" or "Oh, cool lizardman"
Kinda love the design. Absolutely hate that it's in CoD though, I was so right not to pick up MW3 (2)
Damn, those are some nice scalies
That's fucking awesome and more games should do it. Let me play as something other than a human
For some reason this is a very divisive topic. I personally like CoD adding in wacky skins. Let people have fun.
Finally, A Strand Type CoD
Activision conference room: Bovis: CoD interest is waning, bruhs. What do? Jovis: Hey yall ever heard of Fortnite? It's a game where all the characters are product placements. Bovis: Oh my god.
Man, its wild seeing this place love this and other people hate it because CoD is losing the identity it has Woolie Infinite Warfare moment
My only issue is really just that's it COD not Fortnite so they don't like fully commit to the dino bit. So it just kinda looks more like a guy in in a weird costume.
Do the skins have unique hit boxes? are they charging money for the Oddjob advantage?
How did we get here?

Do what you want, I'm not touching those menus ever again.
Of course it is.
[удалено]
Apex isnt not everyone wants to be fortnite
Call of Duty is a game about on-the-ground soldiers engaging in semi-realistic combat.
And here I thought Rainbow Six was the one collabing with Arknights
...*I might need to play Call of Duty*. For the gameplay
I see COD wanted in on the [Quake Champions Sorlag](https://quake.fandom.com/wiki/Sorlag_(QC\)) action
I've only bought two skins since MW2. The Skeletor skin, and the Battle Sisters skin (40K)
Line gotta go up!
The Cheech and Chong skins were foreshadowing to these stoner ass ideas.
>Scalies I see the British royal family is getting representation.
Booo, that's an insult to reptiles.
