Modern Warfare 2 players have found a new all-black skin that will make the game worse than it already is

If there is one universal truth about Call of Duty players, it’s that they will spend as much money as needed to get even the slightest advantage over their peers. They would rather rage quit than be embarrassed by death.

So when Activision releases a premium skin bundle that will you as hard as possible to been seen by opponents, they will buy it in droves.

A new operator skin designed by Call of Duty eSports team LA Thieves puts players in an all-black outfit, allowing them to hide in shadows for some poor soul to pass by.

The new skin has been labelled as “Roze 2.0” which is a reference to the Roze skin released for the original Warzone and Modern Warfare (2019). At the time, the skin made visibility of players so difficult, developer Raven Software had to increase the contrast of the skin.

But now the skin has effectively made a return. I can’t decide if this simply an oversight by the team when creating the skin for the cunning eSports team, or a blatant choice by Activision knowing full well that it would be a revenue driver.

CharlieIntel has noted that the £8.39 microtransaction is number 11 in the Steam best selling charts, beating hundreds of full games.

Time will tell as to whether Infinity Ward and Raven Software will be forced the skin, just as it did in the previous game.
