It\u2019s safe to say CoD Vanguard hasn\u2019t had the best run when it comes to CDL cosmetics. First, it was the default team skins in Season 1 that copped a huge wave of backlash. Some pro players even thought the developers were \u201ctrolling\u201d due to their lackluster appearance. Now, weapon camos have been in the spotlight for similar reasons. Since their unveiling in February, many have been critical of the singular weapon design that boasts different colors for each of the 12 CDL teams. Not only were the designs considered \u201coffensive\u201d by H3CZ, but they even put OpTic\u2019s name down wrong in the store, leveling the biggest team in CoD as \u2018Texas OpTics\u2019 instead. As a result, the OpTic owner has now called for Activision to hand over control: \u201cIf they\u2019re not gonna try, let us try,\u201d he said on the latest OpTic Podcast. \u201cI am insulted\u201d Rather than unique designs for each franchise, all CDL teams received the exact same weapon camo with different colors. This is the main point of frustration. \u201cIf Activision gave us the template to do it, not only are we offloading work from them, essentially doing all the work they\u2019re supposed to be doing, but we\u2019re doing them a favor.\u201d With every squad handed control of their own designs, H3CZ believes it would become \u201can immediate competition\u201d. Every single team would be looking to sell their fans the \u201cdopest\u201d designs possible, he argued. I don\u2019t know whats more offensive, the way they titled our camo \u201cTexas OpTics\u201d or the way they designed our camo\u2026 C\u2019monnnnn man. \u2014 OpTic HECZ (@H3CZ) February 18, 2022 Instead, a single design is all fans have this year. As a result, the OpTic owner is already anticipating poor sales when all is said and done with the 2022 season. \u201c[CDL skins] didn\u2019t really sell that much,\u201d he said, impersonating Activision. \u201cNo sh*t, you gave us a f**king acid trip throw up as a skin.\u201d Read more: OpTic Texas CDL Major 1 &#8211; \u201cThank you for buying the skins,\u201d he then said to loyal Green Wall fans. \u201cYou\u2019re not necessarily buying them because they\u2019re cool. You\u2019re buying them because you\u2019re supporting a bigger picture.\u201d H3CZ discusses OpTic\u2019s CDL camos at the 6:50 mark below. Imploring those in charge to \u201clet [OpTic] do it,\u201d H3CZ demanded not only the \u201copportunity to be creative,\u201d but the chance to give their \u201cbest effort for fans.\u201d After creating OpTic\u2019s Halo Infinite skins from scratch, he certainly favors the manual \u201cprocess\u201d over that of the CDL\u2019s. Whether things improve during Vanguard\u2019s cycle remains to be seen. For now, H3CZ and competitive CoD fans alike will have to hope next year\u2019s release is a step up in this department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpTic owner H3CZ demands Activision let CDL teams create their own camos YouTube: OpTic Nation \/ ActivisionOpTic Gaming owner Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez has demanded Activision let Call of Duty League teams design their own in-game cosmetics after an \u201cinsulting\u201d CoD Vanguard drop left a lot to be desired.
