Black Ops 6 Season 1 off to rough start with “really stupid” item everyone hates

by

As a long-time Call of Duty fan who has witnessed numerous iterations of this iconic franchise, I must admit that my excitement for Black Ops 6 Season 1 is slightly dampened by the less-than-impressive Operator skin reveal. Having grown up with the gritty, tactical aesthetics of the original games, it’s a bit disheartening to see what seems like a step away from that authenticity.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is an outstanding addition to the long-running Call of Duty franchise. The game’s campaign is top-notch, and multiplayer remains enjoyable as always. It’s been available since October 25th, but it’s set to merge with Warzone starting from Season 1. We don’t have much longer before the merger, but the initial reception for the first revealed Black Ops 6 Season 1 Operator skin has been less than favorable, with some critics describing it as rather unflattering or even silly-looking.

The debut date for Black Ops 6 Season 1 is set for November 14th. On this day, Black Ops 6 will take over from Modern Warfare 3 by merging with the Warzone battle royale. Prior to the arrival of Season 1, a recent update has effectively neutralized an overpowered movement technique. For those considering purchasing a PS5 Pro, Black Ops 6 is included in the collection of enhanced games that come with the console.

As a die-hard fan, I can hardly contain my excitement as we’re just a week away from the arrival of Black Ops 6 Season 1! Although the specifics are still under wraps at this point, I must admit that the initial Operator skin unveiled doesn’t exactly blow me away.

Black Ops 6 Season 1 Operator skin “looks really stupid”

According to the latest update from the main Call of Duty: X account, we now have the launch date for Season 1, which is set for November 14th. Additionally, they’ve unveiled a new Operator skin as part of this season’s content.

As a gamer, I’m pumped to dive into Season 1 of Sev! Not only does it bring back familiar faces, but it also unveils a fresh, classified map called Area 99. This new battleground is rumored to be modeled after the enigmatic Area 52, and Activision has hinted that Area 99 is a “top-secret government weapons facility hidden in the arid expanse of the Nevada desert.” Can’t wait to explore its secrets!

Before Activision made an official reveal, the main artwork for Black Ops 6 Season 1 got leaked on the game’s subreddit. This sneak peek showcases the Sev Operator skin, and it seems that fans aren’t too thrilled about it.

In response to the Sev Operator skin on Reddit, numerous players expressed their disapproval with phrases like “This is really ridiculous” or “It’s exactly the kind of skins that typical Call of Duty players would appreciate”. Some comments were particularly critical, calling it “awful” and “reminiscent of someone working at Starbucks in the 2020s”.

The general sentiment among the comments is that the skin’s style seems out of place for a ’90s-themed war game. Many users have expressed their dissatisfaction, stating they expected a more authentic ’90s aesthetic, and one comment specifically referred to it as reminiscent of designs from Concord School.

In general, opinions on the attractiveness of character skins differ, but most agree that such skins are not suitable for war games from the 90s. This has led to an increase in complaints about Warzone, as many gamers feel that excessive and frivolous skins are undermining the serious tone of Call of Duty series.

Some remarks include “Warzone should depart” and “Warzone sullies the series.” However, it’s important to note that this is just one cosmetic item, and I hope future ones will be more fitting and aligned with the theme in Black Ops 6.
