'Groot' Skin Controversy Plagues Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Players Demand Removal of Camouflage Skin Amid Claims of 'Pay-to-Win' Advantage
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 players are demanding the removal of the 'Groot' skin, a cosmetic feature that provides an unfair advantage due to its camouflage properties.
- The 'Groot' skin, named after the Marvel character it resembles, was first introduced in Modern Warfare 2 and has been transferred to Modern Warfare 3 due to the games' shared content.
- Players argue that the skin, which turns the player's character into a tree-like creature, is virtually invisible in certain environments, making it a 'pay-to-win' feature.
- Despite a patch in October to improve the skin's visibility, players continue to complain about its overpowered nature in Modern Warfare 3.
- The controversy surrounding the 'Groot' skin adds to the negative reception of Modern Warfare 3, which is on track to become the worst-reviewed Call of Duty game in the series.
