"Controversial 'Groot' Skin Disabled in Modern Warfare 3 Amid Pay-to-Win Backlash"

The November 30 update for Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) removes the controversial Gaia "Groot" skin and fixes the snaking exploit. The Gaia skin has been temporarily disabled due to visibility issues, and the developers are working on a fix. The update also addresses various multiplayer issues, including UIX improvements, gameplay exploits, progression tracking, map adjustments, and perk fixes. The highly anticipated Season 1 update for MW3 is set to arrive on December 6.
