NICKMERCS addresses backlash over MW2 & Warzone 2 operator skin ActivsionNICKMERCS hit back at Warzone 2 community members who slammed him and TimTheTatman for receiving COD operator skins. TimTheTatman and NICKMERCS became the first content creators to receive their own operator skins in Warzone 2. For 2,400 COD Points, the NICKMERCS bundle includes two operator skins, weapon blueprints, weapon charms, and more. Despite having passionate viewers, not every Warzone 2 community member was on board with Tim and Nick getting their own operator skin. Activision\u2019s announcement of the operator skins on Twitter was met with backlash from players. Comments such as \u201cthey don\u2019t even play COD\u201d and \u201cwe don\u2019t care\u201d shed a negative light on the crossover. NICKMERCS explained why the decision is actually a \u201cfirst step in a positive direction\u201d for the community. NICMERCS claims content creators getting operators is a \u201cnet positive\u201d During a live stream, NICKMERCS responded to criticism over getting an operator skin. \u201cIf this thing came out two years ago, everybody would have been so happy about it, but now given the facts and given the current landscape of the game, there\u2019s a lot of people that are very upset with Call of Duty.\u201d NICKMERCS believes that community members have unfairly deflected their anger from COD to him and Tim. \u201cBecause they are so upset with COD, we are getting a lot of s**t. A lot of people are not happy that we are getting skins.\u201d NICKMERCS shot down the claim that Activision used this as a ploy to \u201csave the game\u201d or \u201cput more money in their pockets.\u201d The Leader of the MFAM Army admitted that it is good to have creators like him and Tim incentivized to play with their own operators, but it won\u2019t change the state of the game. \u201cA lot of these smaller content creators and people got it backward. This is a very good thing for creators, and it shows that Call of Duty is going to start doing more of this stuff.\u201d NICKMERCS clapped back at those for not seeing the bigger picture from this opportunity for content creators. \u201cTim and I are the first, and it\u2019s good for us, but it\u2019s also good for the community as well. This is the first step in a positive direction, and if people can\u2019t see it that way, then they are just hating.\u201d Hopefully, the NICMERCS operator skin serves as a launch pad for other COD streamers to receive in-game recognition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
