In the landscape of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, a rather disconcerting graphical anomaly plagues the “Bad Biker” skin for the Bantam operator, rendering it unobtainable for players through the in-game shop. Despite the game’s launch having transpired over a month ago, residual bugs and glitches persist, impacting the multiplayer and Zombies aspects of the gameplay experience.
The ongoing Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 introduces an array of fresh content—new maps, weaponry, multiplayer playlists, and enriching Zombies content. Sledgehammer Games, in their commitment to the game, pledged to include maps from the 2022 title Modern Warfare 2 across multiple updates and seasons. Mirroring the model of Modern Warfare 2, each season in Modern Warfare 3 promises an array of unlockable and purchasable cosmetics, ranging from operator skins to weapon camouflages. However, one such newly introduced skin, the “Bad Biker,” falls short of its appeal due to a distressing graphical glitch.
One keen-eyed player, Darkfawful2, refrained from purchasing the aforementioned skin for Bantam after discovering a disconcerting bug within it. This glitch, obscured by the dark tint of the biker helmet, renders the operator devoid of a head, save for a set of floating eyeballs encased within the empty helmet. Surprisingly, this unusual bug managed to elude the recent patch released for Modern Warfare 3, stirring discontent among players who are dissatisfied that a paid skin is afflicted by such a glaring issue.
Despite Darkfawful2’s disappointment, some players speculate that this visual quirk could lead to amusing moments in multiplayer matches. For instance, unsuspecting snipers might be taken aback by this peculiar glitch should they zoom into Bantam’s helmet during gameplay. Yet, within the Reddit thread, a consensus appears to align with Darkfawful2’s sentiments, resonating with criticisms of other controversial skins within Modern Warfare 3. The discontent extends to the realm of microtransactions, with players expressing dissatisfaction with the perceived quality and value of the newly added cosmetics available for purchase in the in-game shop.
The “Bad Biker” skin’s glitch isn’t an isolated incident, as it joins a roster of skins within Modern Warfare 3 plagued by peculiar flaws. The recent Ares bundle, for instance, faces criticism for historical inaccuracies, featuring an operator skin supposedly inspired by the Roman Empire instead of Ancient Greece. These inconsistencies serve as just one facet of the issues stirring discontent among Modern Warfare 3 players, many of whom argue that the game’s newly introduced cosmetics lack the meticulousness and quality that fans deserve, especially considering the prices charged in the in-game shop.
