CDL team designers lash out at Activision over \u201cdog sh**\u201d Modern Warfare 3 skin guidelines ActivisionOpTic Texas and LA Thieves designers have lashed out at Activision\u2019s allegedly \u201cdog-sh**\u201d guidelines for custom CDL team skins in this year\u2019s reported Modern Warfare 3 release. Esports cosmetics have long been a way for teams and devs to celebrate one another. On one hand, it shows a team\u2019s dedication to the game, and on the other, it also allows devs to help organizations out financially. We\u2019ve seen this in LCS, Rocket League, and Counter-Strike, just to name a few. However, team skins for Call of Duty\u2019s Modern Warfare 2 came out quite late in the cycle, just before the Major 5 Qualifiers. But it seems devs are allowing teams to design new CDL skins long before the release of this year\u2019s MW3, according to our sources. Though after breaking this news earlier on May 17, a handful of designers involved in the process have since lashed out, venting their frustrations at supposedly restrictive guidelines. In a response to Dexerto\u2019s tweet about the skins, OpTic designer Aaron said, \u201ccan\u2019t edit straps, can\u2019t edit goggles, can\u2019t edit pants, no texture, no patterns\u2019 go f*** yourself\u201d. He further explained in the replies that he was asked to remove textures and patterns on straps and goggles, and is unsure if the pattern he added on the model\u2019s chest would make the final design or not. Comparatively, he stressed the point that making cosmetics for other games is a much nicer experience. \u201cWorking with Halo\/343 and Rocket League\/Psyonix is a dream compared to working on CDL cosmetics,\u201d he said. Further stating that both 343 Industries and Psyonix provided appropriate files and material charts to aid in his design work for OpTic. 100Thieves\u2019 designer for the LA Thieves, RawTheMonster, further chimed in saying, \u201cfelt like I was using a coloring book designing that.\u201d With OpTic Aaron further adding, \u201cNobody talking about that weapon blueprint that was a JPEG Microsoft paint file.\u201d However, we will have to wait and see how Modern Warfare 3\u2019s CDL skins will turn out under these seemingly tight restrictions. We\u2019ll be sure to update you here with all the latest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
