Fans of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 are enamored at the moment with a brand-new skin added to the game which looks like Jesus Christ. Some feel that Call of Duty is going full Fortnite with its latest skins, but this latest addition would suggest otherwise.
Customization has always been a key part of the Call of Duty experience, but the recent titles in the long-running franchise have really taken it up a level. What started as simple unlockable gun camos in earlier games, has slowly progressed into absurd Operator skins that can really take players out of the experience. However, if gamers continue to purchase them, then Activision will happily provide. It does make sense, though. Many other online games now feature similar crazy customization options, and the Call of Duty franchise didn't want to be left behind by a new generation of gamers. In this context, it's an understandable route for the series to take.
Redditor UnknownBot21 posted the image of the skin, and it certainly has a striking resemblance to how Jesus is typically depicted in a lot of media. The defining features are the flowing brown locks and bushy beard, which this Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 skin pulls off with style. Released as part of the Age of the Viking bundle, he doesn't even look too out of place. It's an improvement over Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 releasing two shockingly similar skins, with the "Jesus" skin at least having its own distinctive look.
Other users in the thread were sure to crack plenty of jokes about the "Jesus" skin, with one gamer claiming that "the p2w ability is walking on water," and the con to the skin is it takes "3 days to respawn." Luckily, the different Operators in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 don't actually provide any advantage to players, and gamers don't have to put down their hard-earned cash to get ahead in the game.
It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Season 4 is soon to launch in the next few weeks, and gamers have high expectations after Season 3. Recently, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 brought back Trophy Hunt for the rest of Season 3, allowing players to pick up the trophies they missed the first time around. Infinity Ward has been dedicated to making sure it's the best game it can be, even if the community hasn't been totally pleased all the time. Hopefully, Season 4 can mark a new chapter of prosperity for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
