If you need a sign that Battlefield 6 does have Name of Responsibility a bit spooked this yr, look no additional than a current replace from the sport that appears to fall according to that launch.
Even earlier than Battlefield 6, there have been complaints that Name of Responsibility was pushing issues too far with its Fortnite-ish crossover skins, which can have began with issues like Michael Myers however have now gone all the best way to Jay and Silent Bob, Seth Rogen, Beavis and Butthead and American Dad. Now, Name of Responsibility is strolling that again by now disallowing a switch of skins between Black Ops 6 and seven to retain a extra reasonable environment. Right here’s what they posted yesterday:
“Operators, Operator Skins, and Weapons from Black Ops 6 will not carry ahead into Black Ops 7.”
“Black Ops 7 must really feel genuine to Name of Responsibility and its setting. That’s the reason Black Ops 6 Operator and Weapon content material is not going to carry ahead to Black Ops 7. Double XP tokens and GobbleGums will nonetheless carry ahead, as a result of we acknowledge your time and development are necessary.”
“This modification applies solely to Black Ops 7. Name of Responsibility: Warzone will not be affected, and all of your Black Ops 6 content material stays usable there.”
The implication there may be that the devs are admitting that Black Ops 6 didn’t really feel genuine to Name of Responsibility and its setting, which I imply, is true. This assertion comes within the wake of this one from DICE:
“It needs to be grounded. That’s what BF3 and BF4 was — it was all troopers, on the bottom,” design director Shashank Uchil informed dbltap. “I don’t assume it wants Nicki Minaj. Let’s maintain it actual, maintain it grounded.”
This can be considered as an awesome transfer by many gamers, however there are others who’re those who purchased these skins who are actually mad that they can not switch once they thought they had been going to. That isn’t one thing Name of Responsibility normally does, however there’s actually some friction there all the identical.
There’s additionally the query of what this may do to income, as these crossovers stored coming for a cause, and that’s that individuals had been shopping for them, nonetheless goofy they might have gotten. And we not know the place “the road” is when it comes to these crossovers. Will there be none? Would Michael Myers have been too goofy? Homelander? Or are we simply speaking about these current excessive animated skins like Beavis and Butthead and American Dad? I doubt that every one crossovers will stop from right here, however we don’t understand how “genuine” the outlets are going to be from right here but.
