In particular, fans usually push back against pay-to-win cosmetics that give others an unfair advantage online. COD\u2019s Roze cosmetic, for example, has sat on the receiving end of the community\u2019s ire since the original Warzone days, ostensibly rendering players invisible in darker map settings. Now Call of Duty faithful think Modern Warfare 3 developers unwittingly introduced \u201cpay-to-lose\u201d cosmetics that put a bright-colored target on the back of buyers. MW3 players call Tracer Pack Vivarium Ultra Skin \u201cpay-to-lose\u201d Activision recently unleashed the Tracer Pack Vivarium Ultra Skin for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone storefronts. The paid bundle features a new Operator skin adorned with a vibrant purple and neon yellow color scheme. In addition, those who purchase the bundle will gain access to a few accessories and weapon blueprints boasting the same aesthetic. The community has wasted no time calling out the ridiculousness of the design. One user kicked off a discussion on Reddit by asking, \u201cI don\u2019t mind silly skins but can they at least look good?\u201d Some MW3 players don\u2019t seem to mind, though, as the colorful skin should make opponents easier to spot on the battlefield. \u201cI hope someone puts this sh** on in my matches, I have difficulty seeing players for long shot kills. With this, I should see \u2019em from LEO,\u201d jested one Redditor in response to the above post. Several other players couldn\u2019t agree more. Another person jokingly called MW3\u2018s Vivarium Ultra Skin the \u201c\u2018SHOOT ME\u2019 skin.\u201d Someone else said this Tracer Pack edition is essentially \u201cpay-to-lose.\u201d The user in question reasoned, \u201cIf two people are shooting at me, I\u2019m going to aim for the day glow skin first every time.\u201d Many have taken issue with the skins getting progressively worse throughout MW3\u2019s life cycle. One player argued that, as of late, most skins have been \u201csuper bright, flashy, loud, [and] in yo face. Basically, if you don\u2019t like that style of operator skin, then there\u2019s nothing in the store for you at all.\u201d It\u2019s unclear if such criticism will impact future cosmetic designs, but it seems some MW3 players don\u2019t mind either way \u2013 easier targets for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MW3 players mock \u201cpay to lose\u201d skin as designs keep getting worse ActivisionMW3 players are making fun of the shooter\u2019s sillier-looking skins, labeling one over-the-top design as \u201cpay to lose.\u201d Paid skins have remained a divisive part of the Call of Duty ecosystem for the last several years.
