Call of Duty's U-turn on absurd cosmetics is proof that Battlefield 6 competition is a really good thing


Competition is a good thing in video games, especially where Call of Duty Black Ops 7 and Battlefield 6 is concerned.

The reason why these have become so popular is multifaceted but to put it quickly and simply it's because they make money, and because it pushes Call of Duty further towards the cosmetic goldmine that is Fortnite. It's a return to form for the series judging by early previews ( including ours), has proven incredibly popular in open betas ahead of launch, and is confirmed to be staying true to a military aesthetic. Why would it, with Call of Duty Black Ops 6 nearing the end of its lifecycle one of the reasons buying those cosmetics was still a good move is because you knew they would cross over to the next game.
