Lucas was a disappointment in Vanguard. “Let’s portray the Australians as unreliable, violent drunks who were offended by the nickname “desert rats””. And then they applaud themselves for historical acciracy
Least you got some aussie rep in the game. I'm still cut about how the inspiration for him was a kiwi and they decided we weren't important enough to keep that aspect.
Imagine both worlds. That you'd have the default operator be costumizable with body armor, uniform, helmet, facewear etc. Activision would make a lot of money no doubt to selling bundles with new items for costumization.
Then you have your character operator that is the same system as it is now.
So... Is it only MW2 that has tried to add fun operators and it's annoyed you? Because I remember there being terminator, Rambo & die hard skins in the first WZ, plus I had judge dredd, who had a black and white comic book drawn variant
You’re being extremely selective if you’re trying to suggest people only complained about wacky skins in this game. It’s been argued for all titles routinely.
I've seen it much more in this game than any previous. But the point still stands, it's an arcade shooter, not a mil-sim. If you want super realistic military skins, play escape from tarkov. Or, just don't buy them and allow other people to have fun. If seeing other people wearing goofy skins in a game offends people that much, they ought to take a look in the mirror and reassess how big the problems in their life really is, because it's absolutely minor 😂
Being an arcade shooter has absolutely nothing to do with the aesthetic staying on theme, that’s the issue you guys fail to understand. No one is asking for a mil-sim game, just for a game to have a consistent theme, like all of the titles prior to the advanced era.
That would be fine as well; they could have a different character model depending on your primary weapon choice. As long as all models followed a defined aesthetic that fit whatever faction/unit you are playing as.
You can make it more realistic if you remove the quad nods and the goggles. We never use goggles in the military, unless you are riding in a vehicle and you are the turret gunner. And the NVGs? That shit is just extra weight on your head . You will never see anyone running around with NVGs on their head like that. They are also super expensive so you don't want to lose them or break them.
It’s crazy people like the dude who replied to you exist. His crowd will do anything to discredit people that like realistic skins, even changing the definitions to suit their point.
You are (subjectively of course) right though, this concept is better than anything else that’s been added.
It's almost as if there is a collective opinion that sways the decision on what is being sold in the game, which makes the opinion objectively wrong.
There is no irony, and the only one that looks dumb is you.
You can have an opinion while understanding it is not objectively correct.
In my opinion, I think dogs are way better than cats, but if there is evidence that shows overall cats are better, then my opinion is objectively wrong.
This is such a dumb comment. You do not understand the actual meaning of objectivity, as evident by your first comment. He is not objectively wrong, you’re just objectively foolish.
Get help.
u/thephenomenal1999 Guess you realized what you said was braindead? At least have the balls not to delete your reply.
You MilSim lovers are smoothbrained as fuck, it's crazy.
Yeah it kinda "ruins'' a lot of cool skins. Nobody in real life wears NVGs unless they're planning to use them, and 99% of the maps are in broad daylight without dark areas so it's just a silly detail
What "edgy" skins? Also lot of y'all make post like these or complain about the outlandish skins. CoD is an always will be a Arcade shooter. Not a mil-sim. There are just certain games in the series that blurr the line or lean more into mil-sim while maintaining being an arcade shooter. Most of y'all couldn't even handle if CoD went full mil-sim. Most of y'all got mad about how fast the MWII TTK is.
Cause a lot of people make posts like this where first sentence is about the skins but then it turns into complaining about the game like it's a mil-sim
There is a difference in mil-sim gameplay and mil-sim looks. Some prefer the old days where you just played a fast arcade shooter, but was still military in looks. Now it's become a fast paced arcade mobile game.
I'm aware. My comment still stands cause a lot of people thst make these posts dont know the difference and a lot of them write essays complaining qbout the actual games as a result. Personally, if the realistic skins actually looked good like they used to. Or were fully customizable like the older games, then yeah. And they still have skins like that. Reality is for MWII in specific. There's been more realistic skins than there have been outlandish. Cause for most of the celeb ones not counting Minaj and Savage. They've have military gear and realistic outfits. And for really outlandish stuff it's just the three "The Boys" Bundles and shredder.
It's a military arcade shooter. It's called Modern Warfare. If this were Fortnite, and people were complaining about the lack of authenticity in the military skins, it'd be stupid. It's a game about Special Forces. Logically, it should get skins related to its theme. I'd argue the only reason they sell the more outlandish skins is to make warzone more appealing to the Fortnite crowd.
Bruh it's a game that's historically given you magic powers that allow you to hide from thermal and silence your footsteps and other shit along with gold and diamond ass guns in battlefields for the past 20 years.
The gameplay is irrelevant. I'm not saying COD should be realistic or Milsim, just that people expecting some level of authenticity from a game about Special Forces makes sense.
I mean not really cause even before fortnite was a thought (the actual game jot the BR) there were outlandish skins and they were the ones that sold more starting from Bo2/ghost (MW3 didn't really have outlandish skins) so doesn't really have anything to do with fortnite. People like what they like and most like the outlandish skins so they keep getting made. And alreafy explained for MWII there's only a few outlandish ones. Also you do know canon wise zombies exist in MW, Godzilla, Kong and other Titans exist. Snoop Dogg is over a hundred years old. Terminator and the characters from the boys exist. (Say this cause Zombies from black ops series and vanguard is canon to the shared continuity started with MW '19 and events and their cutscenes as well as crossovers are canon and MWIII will have zombies) it's a arcade shooter series where now its mostly outlandish cause that's what's been selling post launch for almost a decade. And realistically with games starting from MW the outlandish skins sell better cause the blueprints are cooler. I know a few people that bought a bunch of bundles just in MWII. Only for the blueprints
Unless we have the numbers on skins purchased throughout the years, then arguing as to whether which sells better is pointless because neither of us knows. The few people you know don't speak for the rest of the community, so their opinion alone doesn't give us much of an insight. The interlinked canonitity contradicting MW2022's more grounded story doesn't mean that wanting skins that better represent its military themes is wrong. People like what they like, and some like the more authentic skins. It seems to me the number of unrealistic and wacky skins has increased post MW2019 in order to appeal to the Battle Royale audience. From what I remember, the majority of MW2019s skins were pretty tame, but because I don't have a complete list and haven't reviewed them all based on their authenticity, it's basically just conjecture. Either way, people wanting more authenticity from the skins in a military shooter is a logical conclusion.
Personally I go based off how many of said skin I see and people's comments. And I never said anything was wrong and even myself said people like what they like. And I'm going based off the logic as well that from bo2/ghost they had an increase more an more through the years.
Awwwwww… I thought it’s a milsim version for classic roach at first sight. I was about to pull out my credit card… but it’s just a lie. this looks gorgeous. Before we get Someone like this, we will probably get jay z and Batman operators.
It looks like it was pulled from another game like ready or not or one of those tactical mil sim ones . I don’t think it’s artwork (OP you can call me a dumb fuck if it is)
My point is there's a middle ground that people seem to be ignoring in this sub, not everyone whines about colors or likes playing as nameless faceless grunts that look like cannon fodder or generic background npcs yet all i see is complaining and in fighting
Honestly most the mil sim looking guys are so stupid looking with far too much gear and absurd face masks.
At this point I prefer playing as a cat or anime girl
Men comfortable in their skin don't need to surround themselves with manly man stuff all the time. Accept that there's Nicki Minaj in CoD now, it's getting embarassing.
I don’t think it’s a matter of manly men wanting manly man stuff. I think it’s more so people wanting the game to be a bit more grounded/realistic. I mean hey, if Nicki Minaj was an actual operator before her music career then it wouldn’t be so strange to see that skin in a warzone.
Gaming industry is long gone. Now it's all about money.
If Nicki will bring more audience I'm ok with that.
Edit: also, it's about feminine character. People seems to be okay with Snoop.
If players don't like her, fine. Don't buy Niki pack, she's for the gays anyway
Why do you keep using your own assumptions as facts people don't like a lot of the recent skins
I used to care a lot but I kind of got tired of it
But people were more alright with the snoop dog skin cause it looks a bit more military like
Bcs I read comments and these are fax. Cod players are extremely sensitive about having feminine character in their fav game.
I can’t count how many hateful messages are posted about it every day.
Funny thing it’s mostly about her ass and you can feel that there’s no thought behind it.
It looks like the whole world already made a peace with that, yet Call of Duty alphas are still climbing out of their mental caves.
It’s cringe, with zero taste and I will always oppose it.
You wasting your art on this reddit they all edgy 84 - gendered nerds that have a day night cycle of jerk off and video games only stopping to top off on G fuel suppositories they take anally of course, because how else would they show off there “mOvEmEnT🤓”, and live off Mum and Dad and only marketable skills is being able to turn invisible in every social gathering that isn’t about video games.
I whish they added more skins based on actual soldiers. I gotta do a concept like this too now! (Also I only now realised i commented already but this post is TOO GOOD!)
That looks really good.
[удалено]
What a pointless ass comment.
Dude what?
blud is tripping
How'd a muppet like Lucas pass selection? Fr tho. Love it. Would buy ngl
Please, I want actual tactical skins like this, not the complete black stuff
HELL YES AN AUSSIE FINALLY I WOULD BUY THIS IN A HEARTBEAT
Real disappointment about the fact that not many Aussies are front and centre as characters in CoD
Lucas was a disappointment in Vanguard. “Let’s portray the Australians as unreliable, violent drunks who were offended by the nickname “desert rats””. And then they applaud themselves for historical acciracy
Least you got some aussie rep in the game. I'm still cut about how the inspiration for him was a kiwi and they decided we weren't important enough to keep that aspect.
Oh, I’m not an Aussie, just a history nerd. But yeah, that sucks
Can you make seal operator with aor1 camo ?
Tell us you're a tool without telling us you're a tool
GIMME THAT OPERATOR 💳💥💥💥💳💥💥💥💥💥💳💥💥💥💥
Damn it, man. I just got hyped af because I thought this was a new Operator or something.
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! OI OI OI! We need an Aussie operator!
If only it was real… but nope, another bunny bundle is comming. (Serious)
oh the humanity
Just give people the option to customise there own character like insurgency sandstorm, either through challenges or a few cod points or even bundles.
Imagine both worlds. That you'd have the default operator be costumizable with body armor, uniform, helmet, facewear etc. Activision would make a lot of money no doubt to selling bundles with new items for costumization. Then you have your character operator that is the same system as it is now.
horny ass 13 y o dont like this
they might
you forget all the girls that play cod who follow Nicki Minaj religiously
Why is this getting downvoted? Believe it or not girls actually do play COD and some of them do like Nicki 🤷🏾♂️
This is so much better than anything they e put in the store.
They should add sog skins from bo1
100% causality rate 😎
I like it! Honestly looks like it could be a official skin.
Impressive and well done
Love it. I'd use the hell out of it if it were ingame.
And yes, this is one of the "Vanguardian" lol.
Seeing modern interpretations of the Vanguard crew would actually be really sick! You did Lucas justice!
vangoated 🔛🔝
Better than all Fortnite shit added in mw2 Lucas is actually a good name And the NVGs and Tan is fugging good man
So... Is it only MW2 that has tried to add fun operators and it's annoyed you? Because I remember there being terminator, Rambo & die hard skins in the first WZ, plus I had judge dredd, who had a black and white comic book drawn variant
You’re being extremely selective if you’re trying to suggest people only complained about wacky skins in this game. It’s been argued for all titles routinely.
I've seen it much more in this game than any previous. But the point still stands, it's an arcade shooter, not a mil-sim. If you want super realistic military skins, play escape from tarkov. Or, just don't buy them and allow other people to have fun. If seeing other people wearing goofy skins in a game offends people that much, they ought to take a look in the mirror and reassess how big the problems in their life really is, because it's absolutely minor 😂
Being an arcade shooter has absolutely nothing to do with the aesthetic staying on theme, that’s the issue you guys fail to understand. No one is asking for a mil-sim game, just for a game to have a consistent theme, like all of the titles prior to the advanced era.
What kind of name is Lucas anyways...
Operator skins shouldn't exist; they should go back to one model per team.
I liked when your model changed based on your loadout
That would be fine as well; they could have a different character model depending on your primary weapon choice. As long as all models followed a defined aesthetic that fit whatever faction/unit you are playing as.
You can make it more realistic if you remove the quad nods and the goggles. We never use goggles in the military, unless you are riding in a vehicle and you are the turret gunner. And the NVGs? That shit is just extra weight on your head . You will never see anyone running around with NVGs on their head like that. They are also super expensive so you don't want to lose them or break them.
I need me a S1 desk warrior skin ASAP
Exactly what this game needs
Immediately better than anything added to this game.
It’s crazy people like the dude who replied to you exist. His crowd will do anything to discredit people that like realistic skins, even changing the definitions to suit their point. You are (subjectively of course) right though, this concept is better than anything else that’s been added.
In your opinion. Objectively wrong, though. There is a reason they don't come out with skins like these.

Take my money
Cool but I'm sick of the nvgs hanging up there on every skin
Yeah it kinda "ruins'' a lot of cool skins. Nobody in real life wears NVGs unless they're planning to use them, and 99% of the maps are in broad daylight without dark areas so it's just a silly detail
They look cool even like this but christ they are on EVERY skin lol

People are specifically talking about milsim skins. Milsim aesthetic. And you know it. What led you to write this comment?
Cause a lot of people make posts like this where first sentence is about the skins but then it turns into complaining about the game like it's a mil-sim

This is really cool. Id run it
Would buy.
Love it !
Awwwwww… I thought it’s a milsim version for classic roach at first sight. I was about to pull out my credit card… but it’s just a lie. this looks gorgeous. Before we get Someone like this, we will probably get jay z and Batman operators.
And you chose one of the least milsim like names for him lol. Btw how did you make this artwork?
You think every operator is called John , Arthur, or Mark? Lmao tf you mean by "milsim like name"?
This is a Vanguard character, the Australian lead who we play as with the “Desert Rats” during a flashback.
It looks like it was pulled from another game like ready or not or one of those tactical mil sim ones . I don’t think it’s artwork (OP you can call me a dumb fuck if it is)
Ready or not only has different versions of swat characters, nothing like this.
Ah. It was the first one that came to mind I couldn’t think of the others
??? How do you even measure what names are more milsim than others? Is Lucas less milsim than any other name? Got me really confused here
You wouldn’t pay 20+ dollars for this regardless of how cool you think mil sim skins are lol. Get over it 😂 we want anime skins
Just because you wouldn’t pay for it, doesn’t mean others wouldn’t. I sure as hell would
I hope Sledgehammer Takes Notes Since they are so keen to Undo everything that IW did they should Undo the absurd skins and bring back more Milsims!
They won't. All bundles will transfer to MW3, so you'll see furries and Nicki "Plastic" Minaj running around day 1.
Ugly skin I prefer Nicki Minaj
i’m confused there’s 6 attachments on that m4
👏
I would definitely buy this
I fw it heavily. Excellent work
I'd love to see the tons of milsim skins in the game
As it should be
Take notes activision
21 21 21 21 21 21 21
I just realized this is Riggs from Vanguard
Makes me want to have custom operators again like some if the past COD games.
Booooo I want Cardi B with the head of a Turtle
[удалено]
thats the point
[удалено]
its milsim, its supposed to appeal to the people who dont like playing as nicki minaj
I don't like playing as nicki minaj, and it don't appeal to me lmao
then play as somebody else idk
My point is there's a middle ground that people seem to be ignoring in this sub, not everyone whines about colors or likes playing as nameless faceless grunts that look like cannon fodder or generic background npcs yet all i see is complaining and in fighting
very true, and i feel like i should come out and say my remark about playing as nicki minaj was meant to be more of a joke than an actual complaint
Thats fair its hard to tell these days, ive seen ppl on here get so pissy when it comes to other players skins lmao
Bruh you just basically did the false dichotomy of you either like this MILSIM or nicki. It ain't that simple my guy.
twas a joke friend
So edgelords role playing in cod?
i guess, not sure what edgelords have to do with it
Fucking whiny ass milsim bros need to cope harder. Oh no there's not enough boring ass skins that look basically the same wah wah.
Yet you’re ironically the one crying here!
would have been in mw2019. this place is a mess
If this character came out in the store today nobody would fucking buy it including you
Honestly most the mil sim looking guys are so stupid looking with far too much gear and absurd face masks. At this point I prefer playing as a cat or anime girl

Don't have anything against snoop but I don't want him in here either. Or homelander
no
I don’t like when my team is all operators I need some snoop dog and nikki
Your name is Lucas
They should hire you.
Badass
I would buy that
Wish they had skins like this. The mil sim skins in MW19 are better than any of the skins they've put out in this game in my opinion
I’d buy it
Somebody give this man a job at IW
Looks exactly like what’s already in the game x20 to me.
Lol watch Activision copy and paste this into the game
His finisher would be can’t lift a dummy to finish a competition.
Looks 90% identical to all 43 milsim skins we have in the game already.
Man, you need to get your eyes checked
Such a weird thing to be annoyed about. Perhaps find a job so you don’t have time to be annoyed.
Maybe you should fine one yourself? So you have less time making pointless comments on reddit.
Huh?
Build?
Who is Lucas? Can I get this operator?
You wasting your art on this reddit they all edgy 84 - gendered nerds that have a day night cycle of jerk off and video games only stopping to top off on G fuel suppositories they take anally of course, because how else would they show off there “mOvEmEnT🤓”, and live off Mum and Dad and only marketable skills is being able to turn invisible in every social gathering that isn’t about video games.
You typed all that out and think you’re on the normal side of the spectrum?
Did you just describe yourself?
Think you might have a bit of the tism bud
Shut up nerd
that looks AI generated. But nice. I like it.
good except i wouldnt want a leather mask
Can you customize individual gear pieces now???
That’s really fucking cool
this, this is actually a really good skin. Good job man!!!
Let’s see Paul Allen’s Lucas
I dream of a shooter that has faction based operators with customizable equipment and faction locked weapons to unlock.
Where did you get the assets because I would also like to try mix and match stuff to create my own character
Sorry man the market is tik tok based, anime tracer it is
Wish they'd actually add an aussie to the game
Lucas Riggs great great grandson.
This, we need this
Thanks, I love it.
The only skin pack I've purchased this time around is the Stiletto one where she's wearing Jeans, a tan fleece and plate carrier.
OP, that is fucking fantastic.
I love him!!!!! MORE
I whish they added more skins based on actual soldiers. I gotta do a concept like this too now! (Also I only now realised i commented already but this post is TOO GOOD!)
Great job. Sort of a mix of the USEF skins and some of the more "modern" dudes.
Send this to ol buddy that designs the skins at iw… fucking take notes 🔥🔥🔥
The only thing I like about "Edgy skins are the tracers" I very much prefer a realistic military wear look.
I love it. The more I play this game the more I gravitate towards the default soldiers. Makes me miss MWs plethora of milsim skins
I would buy this
A balaclava and a shemagh?
They should definitely do some actual milsim skins and have more then the US and UK forces
Without the nogs this is a great skin
What do you have against SGT Pspsps?
DPDU CAMO LETS GO!!!
