Key Takeaways

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players call for more realistic operator skins to be added to the game.
  • The debate around unrealistic skins has been dividing the Call of Duty community ever since 2014’s Advanced Warfare.
  • Players argue that Black Ops 6 should take a more grounded approach to operator skins, while others believe they just don’t sell well enough and are “boring.”



Call of Duty‘s divisive operators have once again found themselves at the center of controversy as Black Ops 6 players call for Treyarch to take a more realistic design approach with new skins. Realism in Call of Duty has been a hot topic for many years now, and while Black Ops 6 players were hoping 2024 would be the year that saw the return of more grounded designs, recent additions to the in-game store have left fans disappointed.

The argument for and against unrealistic operator skins in Call of Duty has been raging on for years now. While titles such as 2020’s Black Ops Cold War and 2023’s Modern Warfare 3 are just some of the most recent entries to include outlandish operator skins, they weren’t the first to do it. Call of Duty‘s unrealistic skins can be traced all the way back to 2014’s Advanced Warfare, which allowed users to play as a gingerbread man. But over the past four or five years, Call of Duty‘s operator skins have become increasingly more bizarre and players seem to have had enough.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Want to See More Realistic Skins

Black Ops 6‘s new shark bundle seems to have pushed players to their limits, as multiple posts have appeared on the game’s subreddit expressing disappointment with the game’s lack of realism. Reddit user Sniperking187, for example, showed multiple images of what kind of operator skins they were hoping to see in Treyarch’s latest shooter, while user Fit-Personality-1834 argued that Call of Duty‘s unrealistic skins have no place in the series, even if they have been around for the past ten years.

While both posts have thousands of upvotes, not everybody appears to be so concerned about Black Ops 6‘s operator skins. Reddit user Isaackym said, “These are the most boring skins. They don’t sell well that’s why they don’t put them out.” Others appear to be sick of having the same conversation every year, with user DahHorse saying, “These posts have been made every single year since Advanced Warfare. It’s been 10 years gang. This stuff isn’t going away.”


Not only is this debate reignited year after year, it’s not even the first skin controversy since Black Ops 6‘s release. Earlier this month, Treyarch released a vibrant new bundle that included a fluorescent green dragon skin, sending fans into a frenzy. The skin was quickly mocked by players due to its stand-out design and lack of realism, but the backlash from the community clearly hasn’t made Activision rethink its approach to new bundles, as a shark skin was released just one week later.

Continued controversies surrounding operator skins don’t seem to have affected the franchise though, as Activision recently confirmed that Black Ops 6 is the biggest Call of Duty game to date. According to the game’s publisher, in the first 30 days of launch, Black Ops 6 has the most amount of total players, hours played, and total number of matches in the series’ history, making it a record-breaking release for the studio.
