****** Ops 6 Players Are So Frustrated That They’re Willing to Pay For A Feature That Already Exists in COD Mobile

It’s been a long journey for The Call of Duty franchise as it has gone from a grounded military shooter into a more vibrant, arcade-like experience. As the newest entry into the franchise, ****** Ops 6 has brought plenty of good things back to the franchise and players are enjoying the game so far. But it does have issues.

One thing that players have a problem with is the increasingly extravagant cosmetic skins in newer CoD games. A growing number of players are frustrated with the over-the-top cosmetic skins flooding their matches, and some have even expressed a willingness to pay for a feature to disable them entirely.

The Skins in ****** Ops 6 Are Too Obnoxious

For years, Call of Duty earned its reputation as a semi-grounded military shooter, with its realism balanced by an arcade-style approach. However, recent entries, including ****** Ops 6, have seen a surge in whimsical skins that feel out of place.

The backlash against these skins isn’t new. Fans have been vocal about their problems with such cosmetics, arguing they cater more to microtransaction revenues than to player experience.

I was really hoping they didn’t make them over the top

One Redditor sarcastically noted that even the wealth of historical empires wouldn’t be enough to persuade Activision to remove these lucrative cosmetics.

Interestingly, Call of Duty: Mobile already addresses this issue with a simple solution: players can opt out of downloading additional resources for the game. This makes it so the game doesn’t download the files for most cosmetic skins and enemies appear in default outfits.

While not perfect, this feature significantly reduces the visual clutter many console and PC players are desperate to avoid. Fans are left wondering why a similar option isn’t available in ****** Ops 6, especially given its popularity on mobile platforms.

Remember when they said they weren’t gonna do carry forward because they didn’t want to break immersion, but here we are

The extravagant designs have also impacted gameplay performance as players say that the over-the-top effects take a hit on their frame rate. While some players use the bright ****** of these designs to spot enemies easily, the overall consensus is that they’re annoying.

The Community Just Wants an Option to Not See Them

Many players have also compared it to games like Fortnite, Overwatch, and Valorant, where quirky and colorful aesthetics are better integrated into the art style. In ****** Ops 6, these over-the-top elements feel weird against its traditionally grittier tone.

They all *****, where are the normal and mil sim skins?

This clash of styles has led to calls for a more customizable experience, where players can enjoy the game in its intended aesthetic without unwanted distractions. Because of this, it’s not just a matter of immersion or gameplay balance to some fans.

For long-time fans of the franchise, there’s a deeper concern about how the franchise’s identity has evolved. They claim that Call of Duty has strayed too far from its roots in pursuit of microtransaction-based monetization strategies that are common today.

Despite any community concerns, it’s unlikely Activision will add a feature to disable skins anytime soon. As fans have said, the financial incentive to sell skins far outweighs any motivation to address player complaints.

But considering that CoD: Mobile has this feature, albeit unintentionally, could be a reason for hope.
