Modern Warfare 3 launched with plenty of baggage carried over from Modern Warfare 2, and the outdated model of Warzone. Because the overwhelming majority of skins, weapons, operators and extra carry ahead from these video games to this yr’s Call of Duty, issues grew to become clear on day one.
One of the extra egregious was, in fact, visibility of sure skins, or somewhat, lack thereof.
This tends to occur very often with Call of Duty, however the difficulty this time is that it is affecting the brand new recreation, which isn’t one thing you usually have to fret about once you transfer to a brand new Call of Duty. Modern Warfare 3 gamers instantly identified how totally damaged the Gaia (Groot) pores and skin is in conventional multiplayer.
The pores and skin makes the participant utilizing it very laborious to see, as a result of its complete physique is clear. It blends rather well in darkish corners, and could be even difficult to identify in well-lit environments. Players have been calling for the pores and skin to be disabled simply as Modern Warfare 3 launched, as a result of lots of them have been residing with these actual issues in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone.
But Sledgehammer Games has been silent, till now. The staff took half in a Reddit AMA not too long ago, and also you wager one of the crucial well-liked subjects concerned that exact same Groot pores and skin. The excellent news is that the pores and skin is being adjusted, and the even higher information is that till that occurs, a future patch will disable it solely.
“Adjustments to Gaia and Gaia Blackcell Operator Skins are within the pipeline for Modern Warfare 3,” the developer instructed Reddit customers (through GamesRadar). “In a future recreation replace, we’ll disable this merchandise till stated adjustments could be launched to all gamers.”
This tune and dance is all too acquainted to long-time Call of Duty gamers. Everyone remembers Roze, Black Noir and so many different strong black skins. Usually, these skins go on sale and other people purchase them, whether or not as a result of they just like the look or the benefit they provide in multiplayer.
Everyone else screams about them for some time, then they get “adjusted” as soon as they promote most of what Activision seemingly projected for them. In Gaia’s case, the pores and skin has two variants – each of that are half of the present battle cross. Neither is nowhere close to as egregious as a few of these different examples, however they nonetheless exist to incentivise gamers to purchase the battle cross.
Seeing as Sledgehammer Games didn’t say once we can count on the patch that disables the pores and skin, or the one which “fixes” it, we will solely assume the primary will arrive with the beginning of season 1 in early December. Conveniently, in fact, that is additionally when the present battle cross will finish and anybody who missed out on Gaia could have no manner of getting it.
