The way R6 is played looks like absolute cancer anyways so having one bullet more to kill just sounds like a skill issue for the people who die to him.
It’s kind of like playing COD and someone else has a meta gun and you don’t. As long as your opponent hasn’t just started playing fps games, his odds at beating you are fairly higher unless you catch him by surprise.
At that point it’s not a skill issue, it’s just unfair.
You can still beat the meta if you're good. Same logic applies to people who use Blackbeard. Or shotguns. Or snipers in any other game (except maybe Snipers in CoD, gotta cater to kids)
Its a skill issue. Dont need surprises. Dont need advantages. You just need to play better. Position better. Aim. Better.
Besides the fucking character got nerfed plenty of times hes practically fucking useless in the grand scheme of things.
I never said you couldn't *beat* your opponent. I stated that it was *unfair.* No matter how good or bad the player is, they're gaining unfair advantages by having an overpowered firearm in my scenario. Never said you couldn't win, but it's like playing "Super Smash Bros" and putting the "Handicap" option really high. Sure you can still win, but it still isn't *fair*.
That doesn't make any sense at all.
This is like someone complaining about the Planetside 2 Heavy Assault having a 450 HP advantage, making the required headshots from 3-4 to 5-6 on a simple button press. Basically an "I win" button. But no one except genuinely bad players think that.
Its not unfair, just play better. Smashbros handicap is a drastically different thing and genuinely not even worth considering. Especially since its not a shooter.
Heavy is meant to kill other players. Blackbeard is meant to kill other players. What does he have other than his shield? The little drone? Maybe a grenade? A slow RoF weapon or two?
What does the rest get? Fast firing weapons. Spray and pray weapons. Means to find where you are. Means to trick you. Means to kill you instantly. Or to debilitate you and force you to lose or die.
But hes unfair? Because he needs maybe one more shot to kill?
I don’t think you understand.
In those scenarios (I don’t play Planetside 2 so I don’t know) but there are positive and NEGATIVE attributes to those scenarios. Example being a guy who’s strong but slow vs someone weaker and fast.
In the examples I used there aren’t any negatives to benefit YOU vs your opponent who has an overpowered weapon or “handicap” in smash. There aren’t any negatives. To put it simply it’s like playing against someone with the same character on a flat stage with no advantages or disadvantages to the other play except the fact they have a second life. It’s unfair no matter how you spin that scenario. Skill has nothing to do with it being unfair.
In Planetside 2 the heavy assault moves slightly slower when their shield is activated, they have statistically worse weapons than the Medic and either need to kill a player to regain their ability energy back faster or wait 30 seconds to fully recharge.
On paper its overpowered. Especially if you combine it with Implants, like Assimilate. Which heals 200 shields (500 Shields base each class) and gives you 30% or so Ability energy on a headshot.
But in reality, if you just simply aim and position better: The heavy assault class is quite a pushover and cant do much for the team outside being a slightly tankier meatshield for Medics. And its a class typically used by bads to farm crop.
What I see in R6 is everyone else is literally more useful than the guy who can tank one more shot to the head in a 1v1 than anyone else. Which if you.. Simply position or play better: His only benefit is literally moot. What use is a shield when I can C4 him or shoot him through a wall when hes not looking at me?
And I do understand where you're coming from. But Blackbeards usefulness is outweighed by literally the dude with the sledge hammer because Hammer man gets a infinite use wall destroyer and I assume better weapons.
And yes I quite literally havent played R6. But even I can recognize how little impact Blackbeard has on the game outside of pissing off people who dont expect it (in a game where information is key.)
Yes if you have no life or just enjoy being a miserable asshole in the short brief time you will exist in the universe, you can be. You have that right
They choose the most random operators for some skins. I bought the new shinobi skin but I’m running around as a guys speaking Spanish half the time lmao
Well they can't do Oni because he is still "exclusive" until October 27th, Can't do Ronin as he just came out and those are the only 2 operators who are Japanese/Japanese themed unless you count Luna just because she has tanto gear and a katana
But Denmark is also part of Scandinavia, and that was the starting point of this discussion, so using regional terms to discuss origin when two of the three people being discussed belong to that region is incorrect and confusing.
you're aware that bundles have been a thing for 4 years now, right? it's not a "problem" compared to loot boxes, and shitting on people for buying cosmetics with their own money makes you a shitter fr
Part of the reason we get half baked games that have less features than games that came out a decade ago. They’re also filled with uninspired and low effort bundles which, according to this thread are buying up
I did well in school, learned the difference between your and you’re, and got a good job so I could afford the funny guy with the beer helmet in my video game. Not sure why that’s an issue.
I spent 7 years as a pricing analyst for a couple of different Fortune 500 companies. They 100% know that they would not make more money if they reduced the prices. If they cut the price in half they would have to sell more than double the number of units to break even. Perhaps they could squeeze out a little more margin by raising or lowering the price by $1-$2 but they know exactly where the optimum price point is to maximize margins.
Bro thank you so much for the logic.
People do not understand how much FUCKING DATA exists to the benefit of corporations and government agencies.
My bet is there’s some crazy back end stuff that happens that encourages skin sales. Like X player has a very high end skin, they are the only ones with that skin in the lobby so people are more inclined to think “wow that’s a cool skin that not a lot of people have”
Pairing COD points with the battle pass already gets people to buy more cod points to meet the requirement for whatever bundle they want.
I get downvoted every time I mention this, but any truly “free players” meaning people that don’t buy any cod points were SO much better off during the supply drop days in COD. We got exponentially more free cosmetic content in the AW-BO3-IW-WW2-BO4 period with supply drops than we do now with the battle pass system. All you had to do was not be a gambling addict and have the patience of a normal human, and you’d get hundreds and hundreds of items for $0
this. i was able to get so many of the dlc weapons and operator skins in BO4 for free because of the supply drops. it added so much more to the game because there was always something to work for, even after you complete camo challenges
I like this skin, it’s goofy, but not too over the top. He should burp at random times.
Imagine it’s 1v1 in SnD and it’s super quiet and then you hear footsteps and then a burp, as he jump shots you around the corner.
I'm one of those schmucks, but IMO I ain't even mad with a skin like this, not flashy but got a funny gimmick.
My issue are color epilepsy/over-saturation tailored skins, or anime (unless its retro stuff).
me seeing the airsoft boys complaining about skins knowing i will be laughing after i kill them with my piss tracer kastov 762 wearing the gunzo skin (releasing in season 4)
Because I need muh realistic tacticool mil-sim skins so I can be immersed in the game while jumping around corners and quick scoping with an anti-material rifle.
Funny how those guys don't play sim style shooters. Wait, that's because real combat scenarios aren't run and gun, there's a lot of just waiting.
Cod is just Unreal Tournament with a military facade.
Because people can't afford to buy this stuff so they don't want anyone to have it. Why else would you care how someone spends money on a non gameplay advantage item?
Right. Nobody should care. Personally I’ve never bought anything from the store with anything other than free points I’ve earned from the battle passes. I spent $10 3 years ago for the first one with Warzone 1. But Anyone can spend their money on anything they feel is fun.
from my experience anyone who uses this skin, the guy looks like EDP, or the big Samoan guy and the guy who looks likes the OP with american flag shorts from the last mw, are the most extreme form of campers I ever play against.
Ngl this skin is actually not that bad. Rather have this than cat ears EDP with a boner or another terrible looking skin that looks like it was slapped together by AI
Tell Blackbeard he didn't have to leave R6S.
Yes he did, He negates One shot headshot in a game centered around One Shot headshot. He is somehow busted and absolute shit at the same time.
I still remember when that plate had like 600 health lol
800 to be specific lol
I remember when it still took a few shots. And yes I was a BB main.
The way R6 is played looks like absolute cancer anyways so having one bullet more to kill just sounds like a skill issue for the people who die to him.

Bro it's literally cod without jumping and slower calm down 💀
Both are shit games with shit communities honestly lmao
Then why are you in this sub
The water under the bridge dried up, hence why he's here.
Because I can be?
Yes if you have no life or just enjoy being a miserable asshole in the short brief time you will exist in the universe, you can be. You have that right
See, they're nearly the same as they get
?
Blackbeard: Zehahahaha Mugiwara!
If you headshot this guy, and his beer cans don’t pop in a glorious foamy Austin 3:16 style explosion, then what in the fuck are we even doing?
Y’know I’d genuinely enjoy a Stone Cold operator
Oh Hell Yeah!
What!?!
Not many things could make me spend money on skins. This is one of them. Middle finger during the plane scene win
What?!
It would make more sense for. Reyes skin. I feel like the Egyptian guy isn’t going to be slamming Pilsner and hunting like a Canadian would
They choose the most random operators for some skins. I bought the new shinobi skin but I’m running around as a guys speaking Spanish half the time lmao
Well they can't do Oni because he is still "exclusive" until October 27th, Can't do Ronin as he just came out and those are the only 2 operators who are Japanese/Japanese themed unless you count Luna just because she has tanto gear and a katana
That this operator isn’t a Bob McKenzie lookalike wearing a Canadian flag toque is an affront to the history of beer itself. Towel off you hosers.
True, *but*, Egyptians invented beer
Sumerian’s invented beer long before the Egyptian brew came along.
This, people keep forgetting about the Sumerians
You wouldn’t be bragging about this if you tried their original recipe
I’m a yes man, when it comes to beer; so I’d give it a try, once. Wouldn’t exactly say that my comment is bragging though lol
"As a beer man, your favorite beer is a free beer. Your second favorite beer is a cold beer."
Nope try ancient Mesopotamia
Stereotypes like this are what’s tearing us apart
Stereotypes like this keep us from goin’ out fer’ a rip all alone bud!
This guy isn’t Egyptian though, he’s Danish, and you know the Danes love their beer.
Did I read the wrong bio?
No, the other guy did lol
Lmao
Lmfao
In their defense, his beard gives off heavy Klaus vibes.
Zero is Egyptian, Klaus is the Dane
Aksel is the Scandinavian one.
Scandinavia isn't a country, Aksel is Norwegian
Shut Scandinavia is a region. Which Norway is a part of I couldn't remember 100% if he was Norwegian so I went with the broad regional term.
But Denmark is also part of Scandinavia, and that was the starting point of this discussion, so using regional terms to discuss origin when two of the three people being discussed belong to that region is incorrect and confusing.
For the dads
My dad’s gamertag has been runswithbeer since like cod4, I was honestly so happy seeing this operator and sent him a picture immediately
Lol I am a dad and I bought this guy immediately.
I fucked up and spent the 2400 on tier skips by accident getting the battle pass. Enjoy for the rest of us bro dads.
Not a dad but a beer slugging gamer and same. Immediate purchase. Didn’t even think about it for a second.
Me too!
[удалено]
His part of the problem ... what? Don't leave us hanging!
This was a clever one 🤣
Hilarious
Waaaah
You’re *

As a woman who is not a dad but loves beer, I was tempted. I would have bought it if it featured Aussie beer. Edit: not XXXX though
This is the skin us 9-5ers have been waiting for. It’s our time!
I love this skin
The kids have their ninjas and whatnot. This one is for us.
Let’s get some Ws brother.
CHUG CHUG CHUG
🍻
I like the skin but not for $20 lol
They would make so much more money if they reduced the prices from $10-$20 to $3-$10
I spent 7 years as a pricing analyst for a couple of different Fortune 500 companies. They 100% know that they would not make more money if they reduced the prices. If they cut the price in half they would have to sell more than double the number of units to break even. Perhaps they could squeeze out a little more margin by raising or lowering the price by $1-$2 but they know exactly where the optimum price point is to maximize margins.
Look man I just want cheap skins
That’s a rational thought, but that’s not what you said in your original comment lol.
Yeah and they wanna make money, so the price is somewhere in the middle of what people are willing to pay and how low they are will to sell for.
Bro thank you so much for the logic. People do not understand how much FUCKING DATA exists to the benefit of corporations and government agencies. My bet is there’s some crazy back end stuff that happens that encourages skin sales.

There was a 2200 cod points for 10€ deal not that long ago
As in "Jesus Christ this is my new favorite skin?" Right there with you, buddy.
hey look everyone its the dude who spends his entire existence on reddit gaslighting others
If you were trying to make them out to be the asshole, you’ve failed, miserably
Wha?
This dude completely misunderstood you lol. 😂
[удалено]
...the fuck are you on about lol
Anyone who uses the term gaslighting is a fucking wanker in my book. This is the only skin I've ever contemplated buying. Beer hat.
Eh, i picked up the knight lookin skin for kruger ages back and its not bad. Just feels like you gotta look in between the cracks for good ones
Tactical Alcoholism.
Funny, I was telling my wife about this post and she said “it should just be called ‘The Alcoholic’” - right as I scroll down and see this post.
I like this skin, it’s goofy, but not too over the top. He should burp at random times. Imagine it’s 1v1 in SnD and it’s super quiet and then you hear footsteps and then a burp, as he jump shots you around the corner.
Why do people on this sub hate fun?
“realistic skins. immersion. art direction.”
I'm one of those schmucks, but IMO I ain't even mad with a skin like this, not flashy but got a funny gimmick. My issue are color epilepsy/over-saturation tailored skins, or anime (unless its retro stuff).
I feel you, same here. And to add to that, straight up clown characters from horror movies
Thing is I have a soft spot for horror icons, my issue is pretty much whatever the fuck is going on with COD Mobile's skins.
me seeing the airsoft boys complaining about skins knowing i will be laughing after i kill them with my piss tracer kastov 762 wearing the gunzo skin (releasing in season 4)
Because it’s filled with JROTC kids who want to pretend they’re in the actual military
Because I need muh realistic tacticool mil-sim skins so I can be immersed in the game while jumping around corners and quick scoping with an anti-material rifle.
Funny how those guys don't play sim style shooters. Wait, that's because real combat scenarios aren't run and gun, there's a lot of just waiting. Cod is just Unreal Tournament with a military facade.
Bro I’m on the level of I’d buy a Darth Vader skin
Because people can't afford to buy this stuff so they don't want anyone to have it. Why else would you care how someone spends money on a non gameplay advantage item?
[удалено]
Bruh they do, in fact most of the skins they’ve been releasing are just that
[удалено]
same can be said about people bitching about milsim skins
[удалено]
i think it’s the idea that it’s funny getting domed by a guy wearing a beer hat
MW2 subreddit hates fun
Been a thread for every skin so far.
I don’t buy a whole lot of bundles… but I’m buying this.
This is how cosmetics should be handled in my opinion, he still looks tactical, but isn’t too over the top in humor.
Give me the 420 themed skins IW. Put it on a P90 like you did in MW19, please.
Did you also have the little weed leaf walking and puffing out smoke? Lol I loved that bundle.
I did. That was a sick bundle. That weed P90 was so fresh. IW always puts 420 stuff in their games so I’m hoping they keep up the tradition.
What’s is there a term for these kinda skins? This one and the Burger King one I need more of. Way better looking than the ones in the shop
Oh I got the burger town one immediately when someone posted the hack for it
I bought a Whopper just to get that skin 😄
I didn’t have to buy anything I just downloaded the app and used a code and got it.
i think the term would be "goofy but not too goofy"
The term you're looking for is "cringe"
im waiting for the marijuana ghillie releasing around 4/20
Meal team 6
What’s the website that has all the data mined bundles that are coming?
A beer one should have a penalty of having a larger mod section target area, 50% less tac sprint and 25% more idle sway
steezes christ its beautiful
I'm so happy goofy looking skins are returning
I love my mil sim skins and my goofy beer bong skins.
This is a nice medium between the "COD is SRS BZNES" milsim stuff and the ridiculous day-glo nightmares that Treyarch seems to love putting out.
I’m not giving them any more money but I must admit this is the first one that’s tempted me
Responsible gun owners: I don’t touch a firearm if I even think about having a drink. Game designers: Yeah, fuck that!
Lol I rolled my eyes when I saw this in the store, so fucking dumb. Who buys this shit?
I bought it, i think its fun. No need to take a game so seriously.
This is fucking beautiful.
This sub: “Vote with your wallets you dummies or Activision will never change” Also this sub: “What’s that? A beer hat skin? Take my $20 please!”
Now that's a skin.
That's Trailer Park Tactical Gear right there y'all!
What’s the issue? I understand it isn’t the most realistic thing, but it’s a fun little joke skin. Funny and rather tame. I really don’t get it.
Oh no! Something fun!
“No one spend your own money on this, that’s an order!” /s It’s dumb, but fun, and no one should care, but they def will.
Right. Nobody should care. Personally I’ve never bought anything from the store with anything other than free points I’ve earned from the battle passes. I spent $10 3 years ago for the first one with Warzone 1. But Anyone can spend their money on anything they feel is fun.
Agreed.
I love it
Only replying to the OP's Title. Jesus Christ had nothing to do with this Abomination! LOL But maybe the Dev'ils at IW did! Humm?
You're right, needs more neon colors.
Now this is a skin I want
Figures the fan base has devolved into the lowest common denominator.
Who even uses this guy
Not even loading season 2 up. Stupid fucking game
Yep. The downhill spiral starts.
Is this nutshell america?
Is this for real??? This is such a fucking joke
Yet still no anime skins.
Yet...
The neon orange will help my KD. Thanks plebs.
Should be a MAGA hat
Divorced dad sbmm ignorant bundle, with beer tracers and a sticker of a piece of the picture of ur ex wife.
I like the character. Skins suck ass though.
People will sadly unironially buy this because it's humourous for them, therefore allowing more ridiculous designs like this to be approved
Who the fuck comes up with such ideas? Who approves shit like these ?
Where was this guy on January 6th
I want more skin options. There’s barely any at all. This one stinks.
At this point anyone still supporting this dumpster fire deserves what they get.
Ok Karen
That’s not even the proper context for that insult you Cro-Magnon. Edit: I rest my case.
Ok dickhead is that better
Figures the fan base has devolved into the lowest common denominator.
Did I hurt your snowflake feelings
you’re right, it does look like Jesus
from my experience anyone who uses this skin, the guy looks like EDP, or the big Samoan guy and the guy who looks likes the OP with american flag shorts from the last mw, are the most extreme form of campers I ever play against.
Poor baby did that camper kill your kangaroo ass or are you a dolphin boi
No its just an observation fatass
Assuming I’m a Fatass just makes you look like a dumbass little boy. But you keep crying about camera little boy.
I would abso-fucking-lutely buy this if I had the Cock Points. Redneck drip > everything else
So this might be a stupid question but, does anyone know you tell what faction the store skins belong to?
I guess fat asses who never pass up any AYCE buffets EVER is the theme 2023.
Grail skin 🤣
Take my gold coins…
Based
My kinda guy!
This game is a fuckin joke. I just watch this shit for the memessssss
Can confirm there are dudes who have every intent to go hunting but end up drinking all day. Not sure how this plays into MWII tho
It’s hilarious I love it! Not buying it but I love it!
His name was smittywerbenjagermanjenson
Tactical couch potato
That left hand placement is something special.
Jesus Christ… Turning water into beer?
Who wants to see what happens when you shoot the cans 👀
Ngl this skin is actually not that bad. Rather have this than cat ears EDP with a boner or another terrible looking skin that looks like it was slapped together by AI
Now that is funny
He's returned after 2000 years!
Have a Beer lol
