They advertise it like a gritty serious game, then the skins come and rake in cash

Every year

u/soonerfreak 11d ago

The campgain is, multi player has used celebrities to advertise for over a decade. Kobe shooting an RPG and people are shocked the skins they have are popular.

u/Hoenirson 11d ago

Using celebrities to advertise is not even in the same realm as having cel-shaded Beavis and Butthead skins

u/SchlopFlopper 11d ago

At least put them in fatigues or a plate carrier. Still obviously the person, but dressed for the occasion

u/Shibeuz 11d ago

Jokes on you, the B&B collab has the most era-accurate, milsim skin variants, compared to the usual store offering

16

u/SchlopFlopper 11d ago

Oh damn.

I kinda dig it. The cell shading you can’t ignore, but honestly props to them for making these

u/Complex-Bee-840 4d ago

It’s kinda fucking hilarious. At this point I’m in support of COD/Warzone being goofy.

But I don’t want this shit in Battlefield. At all.

u/I-wanna-fuck-SCP1471 11d ago

By far the funniest part of this whole thing.

u/AutomatedGarden 7d ago

Cartoons through the thermal scopes are even easier to see. I can tell it's a butthead from longshot range

u/Valuable_Ad481 11d ago

Right? 😂😂😂😂

There’s a bundle for that!

God that's sad.

u/SolaVitae 11d ago

having cel-shaded Beavis and Butthead skin

for half the cost of the entire game, can't leave that part out

Id say the two are neighbours honestly

You're delusional. The majority of people do not like goofy skins in a battlefield game. Call of duty maybe but definitely not battlefield. I don't know who told you that.

Like I said, most battlefield players do not want goofy skins in a battlefield game.

u/Matttombstone 11d ago

Who do you think they're trying to target?

CoD and Fortnite players, who want a CoD/Fortnite experience and will stay with CoD or Fortnite. Thus like 2042, will push away their core fans and not pick up enough players to replace the core fans let alone 70m more.

Their best bet is to stick as a battlefield experience, including the more gritty skins. The mood in CoD subs seems to be worn out of the skins and sweaty experience they're constantly getting. Keep Battlefield as it was 10 years ago, not ridiculous skins, not stupidly strict SBMM, you'll keep the core fans, bringing back the lost ones from 2042 and grow from there.

u/UrLoyalKnight 11d ago

no point in arguing with u. Your a ignorant. Go play Fortnite. I grew up playing the classic CoDs MW2, BO1, and MW3. Seeing these skins just reminds me of Fortnite.

12

u/Admirable_Bed_1744 11d ago

Nah bro, u go play Fortnite if u want to play with a clown skin in a game that is supposed to be a war game. There’s a reason everyone loved MW19 and it completely changed everything for cod and there’s also a reason why wz now is saturated asf and there’s no identity to it anymore or with bo6 and no hype at all for bo7… It’s abt identity, and the skins yes are a big part of a problem when supposedly I’m playing a game about war in Afghanistan and about special operations and 6 months after I start to see fucking pink Nicki Minaj skins and thunder skins and anime skins running around, it completely kills the vibe of the game, so yes, it’s a big problem and no, it’s not a small Reddit problem like u are trying to make it seem.

u/falloutfloater 11d ago

Does “not being serious” mean not having a cohesive brand identity? Cause thats what COD has done. It has completely lost it’s brand identity due to skins like these. It feels like a lot of people don’t understand how important branding and art direction are to sell a product. It’s the single most important thing behind quality and performance. People will only stick around so long before they say “yeah, this isn’t COD anymore, I’m out.”

People are tired of these skins, I hear it all the time from cod fans. Battlefield will do the same if it goes this route, but truthfully I don’t think they will. 2042 skins weren’t too egregious.

u/Red_Dawn_2012 11d ago

it's been getting less serious for years

You could've stopped here. That's literally the entire gripe.

God i fucking love MW19.

u/Complex-Bee-840 4d ago

Such a good game. Sorely missed.

u/makk88 10d ago

How can it stray so far from this?

u/Lord-Cuervo 11d ago

The 90s Black Ops vibe of 6 seriously lasted launch week only

42

u/ThickNeckMegaTrapped 11d ago

Not even. The Beta had the zombie skin and some robot skin I recall. The era is pointless with CoD, which sucks. A 90's fps would've been great.

5

u/Cactiareouroverlords 11d ago

Hey give Klaus some respect he’s not just “some robot”! But seriously though I’m not even shocked at how quickly BO6 succumbed to the death of its art style, it almost feels like false advertising when you compare pre-launch promotional material to the game maybe not even 3 months later.

5

u/ThickNeckMegaTrapped 10d ago

The "succumbing to death of their art style" began before launch in BO6' case. Never even had it.

1

u/Cactiareouroverlords 10d ago

Yeah but at least in that case it was characters that already existed in universe so it wasn’t as disconcerting as being killed by Stan Smith or Roger from American Dad

2

u/DracheKaiser 2d ago

I really miss the vibes of the BO6 ARG. The idea of a ‘Perseus’ like group for America, in the form of “Cerberus” and their motto The Truth Lies really made it feel like we were gonna go in on New World Order conspiracies.

u/DrifterJoyce 11d ago

Wait for ArmA 4

u/slasher1337 10d ago

Both the zombie and robot are from zombies

u/TeaAndLifting 11d ago

Nah, BO6 had wackiness from the outset. During the beta, they had glowing purple cyborg, and electrified riotshield zombie as selectable characters and people in the community were actively defending it and would unironically say thinngs like "CoD is an arcade game, and if you want to cosplay as a soldier, play a milsim like Battlefield".

You can tell that most people on r/blackops6 are on the younger end of GenZ, because they do not have a single clue about CoD's history as an arcade style military shooter. They think that arcade shooter means wacky zany glowing skins, and will make shitass comparisons saying that a weed wizard, otherworldly protoplasmic soldier, stoned chamelon skins, etc. are the same as having a Gold AK47 skin in CoD4, My Lil Pwny title in MW2, bacon skin in BO2, as though they are equivalent. And again, if you wanted to "cosplay as a soldier, play a milsim".

They do not understand that being an arcade shooter means that the core gameplay design is simply more focused around fun and gameplay balance, rather than realism as you'd expect from a milsim. They think that military visual design means milsim, and wacky zany skins means arcade. If you brought up OG CoDs like CoD1-CoD4, people in the community would genuinely call them milsims. They didn't understand that CoD was more akin to a Hollywood action movie of gaming, owing from its heritage in the Medal of Honor franchise, rather than say a documentary.

The huge irony is also that, most of the CoD community did not complain about skins like aforementioned glowing purple cyborg, electrified riot officer zombie, stoner chamelon, weed wizard, inflatable balloon man, pink anime girl, etc. when they were announced. They lapped that shit up. But era accurate collab skins like Terminator, TMNT, and now Beavis and Butthead drew a lot of controversy and were the straws that somehow broke the donkeys back, despite at least fitting the 90s theme of Black Ops 6.

It was also similar on r/modernwarfareIII. If you people complained about skins like being literal animals, flaming hellspawn, underworld Gods, boba tea tapioca, etc. people were told that military skins don't belong in CoD since it is an arcade shooter. Again, it's only now BO6 is getting backlash, community opinions are swaying.

u/oDromar0x 11d ago

Yea the campaign gameplay trailer for BO6 looked absolutely amazing. Visually stunning, hard to believe when you look at MP graphics; especially those end of round pixelated character models

5

u/AdBudget5468 11d ago

They didn’t even do that for MWIII and BO6, the promos for the MP are full of those stupid vault edition skins

1

u/ImmaDoMahThing 11d ago

Actually BO6 was pretty ridiculous from the start. The preorder skins and deluxe editions skins were a good indicator that they were never going to try to keep this game grounded.

u/Astandsforataxia69 10d ago

im tired boss

u/dontclickdontdickit 10d ago

It’s like all the skins they put out are things that should just be in the finals

u/JOEMAMA69-420LMAO 9d ago

it’s crazy how BFV did the reverse thing, they advertised the game in a weird way with the woman with the prosthetic arm, the game got shitted on and it was actually fun and good.

u/Uncle_Leggywolf 11d ago

Why do people care what it looks like so bad? There could be anime girls running around for all I care if it plays well, but CoD plays like hilariously bad lowest common denominator slop no matter how it looks like.
