Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has introduced a $30 Dragon Knight skin bundle, sparking debate among players about the game's shift from realism to more fantastical elements. While some players enjoy the new cosmetics, others criticize the 'Fortniteitifcation' of the game and express a willingness to pay to avoid seeing such skins. Despite the controversy, Activision continues to capitalize on these cosmetic sales as part of its live service model.
The introduction of "laser cats" as cosmetic items in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 has sparked a debate about realism in the game. Some fans argue that wacky cosmetics have no place in a military shooter, while others believe that Call of Duty has never been truly realistic. The addition of these over-the-top cosmetics, including a finishing move inspired by a supervillain and a cat skin, has divided the player base. Activision has been suggested to implement a cosmetic block toggle, but it is unlikely to happen due to the potential impact on in-game purchases.
