With Season 4 Reloaded on the horizon,Activisionfinally confirmed the longstanding rumor thatCall of Dutywould be collaborating with the hit TV series, The Boys. However, following the announcement, players were quick to point out that one of the new skins is likely going to be a big problem.Black Noir, a character from the TV series, dons a fully black suit from head to toe and will be one of the three new operator skins joining the game this week as part of the collaboration. If you’re a die-hard Call of Duty fan, you may remember the Roze skin, which was also a character that was kitted out in all black.

For a period of time during the days of the originalWarzone, the Roze skin was seen as pay-to-win, mainly due to visibility issues related to the color of the skin. This led Raven Software to nerf the skin and increase the overall brightness of Roze in a future update, but not before the community got good use out of it first.
Now, with another incredibly similar skin on the way, players are expecting a case of deja vu, and many aren’t happy about it. One user posted to theModern Warfare 2 subredditsaying, “The Noirest of Noir “Roze” Skin, Been Nice SEEING You!” whilst many of the responses also echoed their frustrations.
Onecomment says, “This is even worse than Roze Skin”, whilstanother said, “I can’t stand Infinity Ward. Clearly didn’t learn their lesson from the Roze skin in 2019. Pay to win. So scummy.” But not all fans were outright against the skin, as some believe that the lighting has been improved significantly since the original Warzone, meaning darker operator skins will no longer be as big of an issue.
“Don’t find black as much as an issue as wz1/mw2019. Could definitely still catch you out in the right places, but so can the greeny brown skins"one usersaid, whilstanother pointed outthat Alex has had an all-black skin in the item store for a month now but the same outcry hasn’t occurred.
The upcoming Black Noir skin isn’t the only controversial addition arriving with Season 4 Reloaded either. Many are saying that Call of Duty is turning into Fortnite as the upcoming collaboration with The Boys will also include new superpower field upgrades.
Whether or not the Black Noir skin and superhero field upgrades will actually be an issue is yet to be seen, but players won’t have to wait long to find out as Season 4 Reloaded begins this Wednesday.
