MW3 players claim skins now are worse than CoD\u2019s free customization a decade ago Activision BlizzardMW3 players believe the current model for selling skins is worse than Call of Duty\u2019s character creation system from 10 years ago. Call of Duty\u2019s increasing reliance on paid skins has been a point of contention amongst fans for the last several years. And, for some, it\u2019s not just about the high price tags of operator skins and their respective bundles. On occasion, skins have launched in a glitched state that effectively allows players to cheat in pay-to-win fashion. One such instance fairly recently forced developers to remove the much-hated Gaia skin. As MW3\u2019s first season draws to a close, players have begun to reflect on all of the above and more. Some people have taken it upon themselves to reminisce about the old days of Call of Duty. MW3 players would prefer character customization over skins A Reddit user recently shared footage of COD: Ghosts\u2019 character creation menu and, in so doing, argued that Activision should\u2019ve kept the system for subsequent games. Based on responses to the post, many Call of Duty fans seem to agree. One popular response says the customization system stood head and shoulders above the current skin model. \u201cCharacter customization >>> 20$ skins.\u201d Someone else reminisced on the fun of unlocking various pieces of clothing and armor in Ghosts. \u201cI loved that there were challenges available that would unlock different pieces. It took me forever to get the \u2018Headset Over 1 ear head\u2019 you got for getting a collateral.\u201d Others noted that while they\u2019d welcome the return of character creation, skins like those in MW3 are too valuable to Activision\u2019s bottom line. One person explained, \u201cBut If character creation was a thing people wouldn\u2019t pay 20$ to play as Nicki Minaj and god forbid a game doesn\u2019t have microtransactions.\u201d Another Redditor argued the publisher could still make money off of pricey operator customization bundles. \u201cI don\u2019t see why see can\u2019t buy bundles to make our own characters,\u201d the user stated, adding that developers could even sell the voices of operators in bundles. Whether or not Call of Duty will ever revisit character customization is anyone\u2019s guess. But for now, it seems as though operator skins are here to stay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
