Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been a largely successful reboot of a stand-out title for the franchise. While some fans have noted areas for improvements Modern Warfare, the game has been a commercial success and is attracting plenty of players. A nod to the Netflix series Tiger King is now available in the form of a bundle and it has some striking similarities to the program. Most notably, the banner of the bundle seems to be replicating the visual style of the series.
The Tiger King documentary follows Joe Exotic and his big cat enclosure revealing the dangers of keeping cats as well as the erratic behavior of Joe. With these elements in play, the show became one of Netflix's biggest documentaries and online communities have mimicked the scenes from the show countless times. Many fans of the documentary will now be keen to replicate the appearance of the Tiger King in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
The Fire Claw 3 bundle is available now on the Modern Warfare store and costs 1100 CoD points. It includes a tiger painted 'By the Toe' Legendary AUG Blueprint, a rare 'My Dominion' spray, and the 'Big Kitty' charm. These themed items will be a hit with big cat lovers and those who believe aspects of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare have been based on the people that the Tiger King documentary follows. It seems that the developer, Infinity Ward, is playing into this fan base with the heavily inspired banner and it will be interesting to see if fans of the documentary respond positively to the unofficial nod to the series.
There have been a number of Tiger King tributes in games, but this is perhaps the clearest nod to the series from a developer. Many will hope that an official collaboration happens at some point, but there may be legal issues as well as reluctance from Infinity Ward to partner with some of the questionable characters that feature in the documentary. Nonetheless, players can get as close as possible to creating a character who would fit in the documentary with this bundle.
A constant stream of content in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has gained fans and kept players entertained. Many will wonder how Infinity Ward will continue to surprise players and there are already rumors about new maps and game modes. An effective way to keep players engaged, if they are willing to pay, are bundles that nod to popular culture like the Fire Claw 3 bundle.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
