NICKMERCS finally making Warzone return after viral controversy ActivisionKick streamer NICKMERCS is finally returning to Warzone nearly nine months after his CoD skin was pulled following a viral rant about Pride months in elementary schools. Call of Duty and NICKMERCS have had a love-hate relationship that seemingly ended last year when the FaZe star sparked controversy online. In June 2023, the streamer responded to a tweet about a news story where a brawl erupted over a school board\u2019s decision to acknowledge Pride month, commenting, \u201cThey should leave little children alone.\u201d The backlash was swift. Despite Nick saying that he didn\u2019t mean to upset anyone, Call of Duty removed his operator skin from the shop, promoting NICKMERCS to quit Warzone, but that hiatus appears to be coming to an end. NICKMERCS returns to Warzone despite Pride month drama In a post on X on February 6, NICKMERCS confirmed that he would once again be streaming Warzone. The image features NICKMERCS\u2019 operator skin arriving on the battlefield along with the caption \u201ctomorrow\u201d indicating a return to Warzone for the first time in many months. This decision comes even as the streamer has continued to feud with Activision for pulling his skin. Notably, he claimed he likely wouldn\u2019t even stream MW3 over the controversy and even called the devs \u201crats\u201d for releasing a skin similar to his. However, Nick\u2019s supporters are on board with the return to Warzone. Fellow streamer TimTheTatman, who asked for his Operator to be removed in solidarity with Nick, posted a video of him teaming with his friend, commenting \u201cwe\u2019re so back.\u201d FaZe Swagg was excited too, posting a gif of WWE\u2019s Undertaker emerging from out of a coffin. It\u2019s unclear what exactly caused Nick to change his mind on CoD, but he wouldn\u2019t be the first one to go back on his word. Notably, Dr Disrespect vowed to stop playing Warzone until NICKMERCS got his skin back and an apology from Activision, but has since played the battle royale on stream. Expect to learn more about why NICKMERCS is back to playing Warzone tomorrow when his stream kicks off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
