Entire controversy regarding the Beavis and Butt-Head skins in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 explained
Image via Activision. S eason 4 Reloaded started with a bang with the arrival of so many additions like Casual Resurgence modde, new weapons like the Olympia shotgun, Zombies & Grief mode, and many more. Among all of these, the Beavis & Butt-Head crossover was one of the major highlights of this mid-season refresh. Fans initially liked all the new aspects of this event, like new operator skins, game modes, and many more. But as things stand, fans want Activision to implement some immediate changes to the Beavis and Butt-Head operator skins. Why are fans annoyed with Beavis and Butt-Head skins in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone? It's a serious job for the developers to maintain precise and equal hitboxes for all the available skins in a game, irrespective of differing sizes and shapes of the skins. No matter how big or small the form-factor of a skin, the bullet hitting zone should be symmetrical for any skin. But it seems, that is not the case with the Beavis and Butt-Head operator skins in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Recently a fan named Volanologist2 shared a gameplay video of Black Ops 6 where it's seen that even after firing multiple rounds on the head of an enemy donning the Butt-Head skin, no damage was dealt. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 70歳のエンジニアが高齢者のために開発した爪切りが日本で話題に。 Wmet 今すぐ購入 Undo It's actually pretty frustrating from the player's point of view. This uncanny discrepancy between the hitbox and the actual character model is unfair and can certainly disrupt the gameplay. Umm isn't that a headshot? by u/Volanologist2 in blackops6 Shooter games like Black Ops 6 and Warzone are purely based on precise gunplay, because that is what those games are all about. This criteria is absolutely non-negotiable, but in this case, it seems this aspect is totally neglected. After making the head of the Butt-Head skin large and exaggerated, the developers have failed to match that with the character's hitbox, which is causing all the trouble. Not only that, this asymmetrical character model also nullifies the importance of headshots, which always deals greater damage compared to any other body parts. So, even if this 'meta' continues, then players won't try to hit on the heads of those operator skins, gaining those skin holders an edge over the others. And thus, the Beavis and the Butt-Head operator skins might become a 'pay-to-win' item in the game, unless Activision brings any plausible fix to this issue.

Call of Duty HQ reportedly leaving two modern titles behind
Image via Activision Call of Duty HQ is the default launcher or hub app for the modern CoD titles in the market right now. As of now, this app features Black Ops 6, Modern Warfare II & III, and Warzone altogether, under the same roof. This approach was taken by Activision to make everything seamless for the fans, as players will be able to access all the recent Call of Duty games at one place. However, things didn't go the way it was supposed to as the app is hugely infested with bugs, ads, and UI issues. And that is why, Activision might be omitting some modern CoD titles from the app to make it clutter-free. Call of Duty HQ app is reportedly excluding two popular titles According to credible gaming insider Reality, Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and Modern Warfare III are available outside the main Call of Duty HQ app. Initially, it was mandatory to install that app because from there, those two titles would launch. But the insider has claimed that if players redownload those two games, then they can be played directly, without the help of any launcher. However, this potential from Activision was quite evident, keeping in mind Call of Duty HQ's poor reception among the fans. First of all, the app is a huge storage-junker, and when someone downloads all the games in this launcher, then it gets out of hand. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Undo Secondly, the HQ app is clubbed with so many titles that its complex UI makes everything confusing for the fans. Not only that, because of the huge load on the single app, the server of Call of Duty HQ often finds it tough to maintain all the games at once, often resulting in server outages. On June 25, fans faced a similar situation where servers of several titles went down and out. Another reason for this chaos is because of different developers for different sub-series in Call of Duty. For example, Warzone and the Modern Warfare series are mainly developed by Infinity Ward. On the other hand, the Black Ops series is taken care of by Treyarch. So, it is obviously going to be tough to stick all the items in a single place by different development teams. Opening a game from a certain launcher is itself a tedious job. First, you have to open the Call of Duty HQ app, then load a list of the available games and find the one you want to play from there. At last, launching the desired one. All of these could have been done in just a double-click on a separate icon on the desktop. So, now it's clearly understood why Activision is taking this potential approach to remove two of the most popular games from the Call of Duty HQ app. However, it can go the other way around too. Recently, many classic CoD titles got updates out of nowhere after more than a decade. So, were those updates implemented to club those titles in the HQ app? Only time will give the answer.
