Controversy Sparks as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Introduces Jesus-Inspired Skin

Players of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 are currently buzzing over a new skin that resembles Jesus Christ. Some have speculated that the game is following in the footsteps of Fortnite with its latest skins, but the addition of this particular skin suggests otherwise.

Customization has always been a vital part of the Call of Duty experience, but recent titles in the long-running franchise have taken it to a whole new level. What began as simple unlockable gun camos in earlier games has evolved into outlandish Operator skins that can disrupt the immersion of players. However, as long as gamers continue to purchase them, Activision will keep providing them. It's a logical move considering that many other online games now offer similarly outrageous customization options, and the Call of Duty franchise didn't want to be left behind by a new generation of gamers. In this context, it's a reasonable path for the series to take.

The skin shared by Redditor UnknownBot21 bears a striking resemblance to the typical depiction of Jesus in various media. The skin's defining features, including the flowing brown locks and bushy beard, are executed with style in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The skin is part of the Age of the Viking bundle and fits in well with the game's overall aesthetic. This skin is a marked improvement over the previously released, nearly identical skins, as the "Jesus" skin has a unique look of its own.

The thread also included plenty of humorous remarks about the "Jesus" skin, with one gamer joking that the skin's pay-to-win ability is walking on water while another humorously noted that it takes three days to respawn. However, the good news for gamers is that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's different operators do not provide any advantage to players, and hard-earned cash does not need to be spent to get ahead in the game.

The upcoming launch of Season 4 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has sparked high expectations among gamers, following the recent success of Season 3. Infinity Ward's commitment to continually improving the game has been evident, with the reintroduction of Trophy Hunt for the remainder of Season 3, providing players with a chance to collect missed trophies. While the community's feedback has been mixed, Infinity Ward's dedication to excellence offers hope that Season 4 will usher in a new era of prosperity for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The game is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
