Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is drawing increasingly heavy criticism from its community for pretty much instantly dropping the somewhat serious nature of its multiplayer skins for the absurd, unrealistic cosmetics that dropped yesterday with Season 1. Instead of standard military men and women seen in the campaign, Treyarch has released a new set of skins that can dress you up as a black and green dragon, a monster out of a horror movie, or give you a sort of orange crystal as your face.

This is a complaint some parts of the community have expressed for years now, with previous entries letting you dress up as the likes of Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj, and even Jigsaw from the Saw franchise. However, given there's been such a quick turnaround from the serious set of launch skins in Black Ops 6 to yesterday's Season 1 release, the outcry has been exponentially louder.

Here are three of the skins that fans are taking issue with most:

Much of the game's Reddit page is covered with criticisms for the new skins, with some fans even asking Treyarch for a toggle that removes them from the game. The Blackcell skin — which is a purchasble extra on top of the new Battle Pass — is even being compared to the outfit soldiers wore in the infamous PS3 game Haze.

Other posts on the Reddit page with hundreds of upvotes complain about the "horrendous" skins, each of which cost in the double digits. Perhaps the best post of all inserts the worst skin of them all into a historic military picture, reading: "One from the history books. Gulf War circa 1991."

The thinking at Treyarch and Activision will presumably be that standard military outfits won't sell very well, so they have to get creative in order to catch a potential buyer's eye. The response from the game's hardcore community is that the developer is instantly ruining any sense of realism in online matches, as every other part of the experience takes itself pretty seriously.
