The Groot skin, also known as the Gaia skin, in Modern Warfare 3 has been temporarily disabled due to complaints from players about its "pay-to-win" nature and visibility issues. The see-through nature of the skin made it difficult for players to see in combat, similar to the controversial Roze skin from a previous game. The developers have acknowledged the concerns and plan to re-enable the skin in a future update with changes to improve target identification.
