Call Of Duty: MW3 Patch Removes "Groot" Skin That Players Loudly Complained About

The hard-to-see Gaia skin has been temporarily removed.

A new patch is out now for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, and the biggest takeaway is that the update removes the «evil Groot» skin from the game temporarily. Players have, for months, complained that this skin, which is officially titled Gaia but has been referred to as «evil Groot» due to its resemblance to the tree-based Marvel character, was hard to see. Thus, using the Gaia skin gave players using it an advantage on the battlefield, many said.
The Gaia and Gaia BlackCell operator skins are now removed. Developers are now updating the Gaia skin to «improve the visibility,» Activision said. There is no word on when Gaia may return, however.
Gaia debuted with 2022's Modern Warfare II and already underwent a round of adjustments to improve visibility. Now that's happening again after Modern Warfare III players complained.
Beyond this change, the November 30 update fixes a bug that allowed players to appear as if they were in the prone animation while sprinting. It also adjusts spawns on the map Rust so that they no longer spawn in the eyeline of an enemy. Additionally, progression-tracking has been improved for a number of challenges, while the Notifications tray will now properly displaying daily challenge progression.
In other news, Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone's big Season 1 update arrives on December 6, adding new multiplayer maps, the next Warzone map, a very buff Santa, and Timothee Chalamet.
