“Let’s keep it real, keep it grounded” — Battlefield 6 devs promise “gritty realism” in contrast to goofy Call of Duty skins, and I’m thanking my lucky stars

Over time, Call of Duty has moved away from its original military look to embrace a more playful and colorful style. This is seen in weapons like neon pink assault rifles that shoot rainbow trails, collaborations with celebrities such as Nicki Minaj and Seth Rogen, and unexpected partnerships with cartoons like American Dad and Beavis and Butt-Head.
