Reddit users sharing memes of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Dragon Knight skin posed alongside characters who fought in the Gulf War seem to have reignited a conversation about realism in the series. Call of Duty : Black Ops 6 is the newest in a long line of first-person shooters that commit to simulating war while incorporating blockbuster action movie-styled visuals. Where some titles might limit player expression to weapon skins, Black Ops 6 has been having fun with plenty of experimental-looking Operators.
Skins have been a constant topic of discussion within the Call of Duty series. During Modern Warfare 3's initial release, players voiced frustration over the Null & Void bundle, which came off to some as recolors unworthy of their $20 value. So far, it seems like Black Ops 6's devs have been trying to strike a balance between skins and Operators that seem more realistic and ones that look more otherworldly. Basic Operators like Stone, Westpoint, and Toro offer more of the former, while Black Ops 6 skins like the Goliath Operator lean into the abstract.
