Infinity Ward has renamed its controversial skin “Border War” in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone after the backlash. The developer of Call of Duty changed the name to “Home on the Range” and also changed its description in the game.
The study’s use of skin has been criticized for glorifying the police at a time when protests against police violence around the world continue. It also carries anti-immigration sentiments that some fans have called on Twitter. The Santa Monica-based studio announced the change, which was made through a patch on July 14, with a tweet.
There is now a live patch on all platforms that it fixes:
· Rename the skin and biography of the D-Day ‘Border War’
· A feat where players could pick up the weapons they dropped before the #Warzone infiltration sequence
· A Rytec AMR bug where shots were hitting above the scope in their range– Infinity Ward (@InfinityWard) July 14, 2020
The mask description originally said “show them the mistake of their shapes and make them pay with the D-Day Border Warfare Operator’s Mask” and has now been changed to “play alongside the deer and antelope with the Day D from Home on the Range. ” operator skin. “Nothing else on the skin was changed.
Infinity Ward also removed the OK sign gesture, an in-game gesture that has been culturally associated with white supremacy, earlier this month. The symbol has been replaced by a new one called Crush during the game’s last mid-season patch.
Infinity Ward has made a number of changes within Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone amid Black Lives Matter’s global protests.
