The multiplayer experience inCall of Dutygames has changed a lot over the past few years. Initially, things like skins and calling cars were more military-themed, a serious tone that worked perfectly with the game’s theme. Thanks to games likeFortnite, the idea of wild skins has now been normalized. Fans have complained that these “outlandish” skins are too much and are ruining the game.
Despite so many complaints, one Treyarch developer has made it clear that they are not stopping any time soon. The developer admitted that releasing such skins does break the rules but they want to continue to do so to maximize fun for players.
The “outlandish” skins inCall of Duty: Black Ops 6are not going anywhere
TheCall of Dutyfranchise was initially known for its “realistic” nature, however, with the introduction of some wild operator skins, the game started to look more likeFortnite. Players are able to play as rats and cats, or celebrities such as Nicki Minaj, Lionel Messi, and 21 Savage.
Black Ops 6’s Weapon Update Will Make Snipers More Lethal but Treyarch Could Face Fortnite’s Problem
In a recent interview withDexerto, Miles Leslie, the Associate Creative Director at Treyarch, talked about these “outlandish” skins, explaining that they are not going anywhere,
Fun always comes first for us – Of course, we want to stay grounded in the DNA that makes a Black Ops game unique when it comes to core gameplay, but we also like to break the rules if it’s going to maximize fun for players.
By introducing wild skins, Treyarch tries to make the game “fun.” The idea of realism is only limited to the campaign, but multiplayer is where they can go wild with their ideas.
Players should expect to see some more wild operator skins soon
Further in the interview, Leslie explained that it’s valid to add these wild skins because theBlack Opsseries itself carries an outlandish theme. He said,
When it comes to cosmetics, the Black Ops series naturally lends itself to some pretty outlandish themes when you consider we’re the birthplace of Call of Duty Zombies and all of the crazy mindf**kery that comes with the storytelling in our games, so we like to have fun there too. The team has already delivered some of my all-time favorite Operator Skins, and we’re only in the first season.
Players should certainly expect to see some more wild collaborations in the future as these skins are the only way developers are able to express their creativity. Recently, theSquid Game 2xCall of Duty: Black Ops 6collaboration was revealed, leaving players wondering ifdevelopers are getting desperate.

All these skins also allow Activision to generate revenue. In fact, Activision has been holding apatentthat allows them to match players who have expensive skins with low-ranked players to encourage people to buy more skins. There is no proof that this has been applied to the game, but this shows that the entire system is designed to manipulate the players.
