Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 fans are upset that the new Hunger Pains operator skin requires users to purchase two separate bundles that combine for a massive number of COD Points. Neither of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 bundles contain particularly exciting items, either.
Fans have become periodically frustrated with Call of Duty's in-game skins over the years, like when this season's Rick Grimes skin drew criticism for its voice acting not sounding similar enough to Andrew Lincoln on The Walking Dead. Fans might also remember the recent controversy with Call of Duty's Gaia skin, whose tree-like appearance created significant frustration among players who were unable to see it on certain maps. While CoD's newest skin controversy isn't as wide-ranging as the Gaia issue, some fans are quite disappointed.
Reddit user conrat4567 posted a thread titled «The Japanese food bundle is egregious,» as other fans commented with similar opinions. Unlocking the Hunger Pains skin, which depicts a woman wearing modern, Japanese-themed clothes, requires users to purchase the Wagyu bundle for 1600 COD Points and the Instant Noods bundle for 1800 COD Points, totaling 3400 Points or about $34. This is a huge ask for one skin, as Call of Duty's skin bundles usually cost between 2000 and 2400 COD Points, with stand-alone skins sometimes being available for as low as 1400.
The two bundles don't contain any additional operator skins, with Wagyu offering two weapon blueprints plus a decal, sticker, XP token, and charm, while Instant Noods gives another two weapon blueprints plus a decal, sticker, charm, and emblem. Despite the high prices, the bundles might be tempting choices for fans of Japanese culture, as all the items depict it in one way or another. However, most fans were dismayed with Activision's strategy, urging others to «vote with your wallet.»
A saving grace of the Instant Noods bundle is that it includes the Flavor Blaster blueprint for the SOA Subverter, one of the new weapons added with Call of Duty's Season 2 Reloaded update. Alternatively, the SOA can be unlocked by completing five weekly challenges from Season 2 Week 5.
Fans of Call of Duty skins might be excited to learn that they can unlock a flashy Ghost skin for free if they participate in Warzone Mobile's Operation: Day Zero event. The event launches alongside Warzone Mobile's release on March 21 and also rewards fans with two weapon blueprints, an emblem, and more.
