Hilarious Meme Package in Call Of Duty: MW3 Playfully Mocks Update Requires Restart Alert

The latest Call of Duty DLC bundle, "Insert Coin Mastercraft," is now available for Modern Warfare III and Warzone. The centerpiece of this bundle is the Arcade Rhythm submachine gun, which features an animation referencing Call of Duty's famous "update requires restart" prompt.

Activision is embracing the meme and capitalizing on it with this DLC bundle, targeting fans who are familiar with the frustrating prompt. The animation not only displays the prompt but also shows the soldier smashing the A button to advance and then expressing frustration by bashing the weapon. This might hit too close to home for some fans. See the animation in action, courtesy of CharlieIntel.

The Insert Coin Mastercraft bundle, priced at 2,400 COD Points ($20), is inspired by classic arcade games. The weapon features a distinctive green tracer effect, causing enemies to disintegrate into green blocks reminiscent of pixelated graphics from vintage games.

Included in the bundle is the new Operator, High Score, sporting a gaming headset and carrying a skateboard. High Score dons colorful pants, a red jacket, and a yellow headband, capturing the essence of the '80s era. The finishing move, Neck Trauma, speaks for itself. Additionally, the bundle offers a Retro Cabinet emblem and a weapon charm in the form of a miniature arcade cabinet.

The information was leaked in December during the Season 1 update release, and dataminers uncovered it. Additionally, Call of Duty has introduced the new Vortex event, offering sci-fi versions of Rust, Quarry, and Shipyard, along with a one-hit-kill Ray Gun that players battle for control of.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z fan, I find the Hilarious Meme Package in Call Of Duty: MW3 to be a clever and humorous way to address the infamous 'Update Requires Restart' prompt. The fact that Activision is embracing the meme and capitalizing on it with this DLC bundle shows that they are in touch with their audience and understand what we find entertaining. The animation of the soldier smashing the A button and expressing frustration is spot-on and will definitely resonate with fans who have experienced the annoyance of having to restart the game.

The Insert Coin Mastercraft bundle itself is also well-designed and captures the essence of classic arcade games. The green tracer effect and the pixelated disintegration of enemies are creative and nostalgic touches. The Operator, High Score, with his gaming headset, skateboard, and '80s-inspired outfit, adds to the overall theme of the bundle. The finishing move, Neck Trauma, is a nice touch that ties everything together. Overall, I think this DLC bundle is a fun and lighthearted addition to the game that will appeal to Gen Z fans who appreciate humor and creativity.
