Imitation is said to be the highest form of flattery as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare fans cosplay characters from both the modern game and previous installments. These Modern Warfare fans have put careful time and energy, and sometimes budgeting, into dressing up as their favorite characters.
This selection is only a small portion of a much larger cosplay community. Fans of the game continue to evolve their outfits with every skin and character release creating realistic depictions of fan-favorite characters.
This first cosplay is of Bale in his Sokoly skin from Season 1. The fan is dressed in full tactical gear with the image shot inside of what looks like a pipe or tunnel. In the comments, he reveals that he is wearing a Defender 2 Body Armor for his plat carrier and a Russian Smersh harness rig.
A clever fan has put together a budget cosplay of Wind River Talon Operator from the Modern Warfare Season 4 battle pass. His jacket and shirt at a close to perfect match but, as the comments were quick to point out, he is missing the gloves. Fans were happy with the cool factor of choosing Aviators over Oakleys, complimenting the decision multiple times. Although there are some minor inaccuracies, the cosplay is pretty on point to the operator.
This impressive cosplay appeared in the community and impressed fans with its realism and attention to detail. Dressed as Nikto from the Nikto operator pack, this fan went hard into the fine details. From the authentic flight suit to the carefully detailed paint on the vest, this cosplay wins major points for being as close to character model as possible.
Another Reddit user has come up with a clever cosplay of Ghost from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This cosplay shows the signature mask covering the lower half of his face and lightweight gear. The attention to detail with the patch placement and extra tools and bags gives a realistic feel to this unique interpretation.
As the Modern Warfare community continues to grow, fan love for the title becomes more apparent. With it still being very early in Season 4, there is no telling which skins will impress fans enough to become the next big cosplay.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
