From a colorful-looking slug to Bill Skarsgard’s take on The Crow, therelease ofCall of DutySeason 5 Reloadedwill once again divide the community and include a plethora of controversial operator skins. AfterCharlieIntel postedthe new skins on Twitter, users quickly mocked the new operator bundles, with one saying thatCall of Dutyis a “joke.” Twitter user HunterTV also said that they “need Treyarch’s cosmetic team back,” which is a reference to the upcoming release ofBlack Ops 6, which will be handled by Treyarch Studios.
This isn’t the first time thatCall of Dutyfans have been outraged by new operator bundles, and it likely won’t be the last.

As for all theWarzonefans, Rebirth Island is getting a new game mode known as Supreme Resurgence, as well as new battle royale contracts for players to complete.
