ACall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3multiplayer bug sees the operator skins of four players combine in a pre-game lobby to form a strange looking figure.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s holiday-themed CODMAS event just recently concluded, but its Zombies-inspired Vortex multiplayer mode is still live, which brings map reskins of Scrapyard, Rust, and Quarry.
A big part of the live service platform thatCall of Dutyhas become over the past four years are the operator skins players can earn or purchase, then equip for display in multiplayer matches.Call of Dutyhas gone buck wild with bringing in crossovers from the film, gaming, and television worlds withCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, collaborating with Amazon’s hit seriesThe Boys, along with Spawn,Diablo,Evil Dead, and more.Modern Warfare 2even added Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, and 21 Savage in celebration of 50 years of hip-hop last year.

It seems a bug inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s multiplayerlobby screen has caused a strange mashup of different operator skins. On Reddit, forhead123 posted an image of an entity in a four-player multiplayer lobby made out of each player’s operator. Since all four operators are clipped on top of one another, it’s difficult to tell exactly which skins they are. The most prominent one features a sort of ancient Roman warrior garb with purple-eyed hound heads on its shoulders. Judging by the silver legs of this abhorrent creature, it seems one of these operators is fromModern Warfare 3’s Vault Edition, likely Warden based on part of her tactical helmet which is visible on the figure’s head.
The exorbitant prices ofCall of Duty’s operator bundleshave often been subject to criticism in the community over the past several years. One commenter under forhead123’s Reddit post joked thatCall of Dutyshould call this unholy operator mashup “The Monstrosity” and offer it for 2800 COD Points in the in-game store. Another comment pointed out that this abomination resembled Bloodhound from EA’s multiplayer FPS competitorApex Legends. In support of this observation is the figure’s gas mask coupled with some sort of round halo over its head, evoking Bloodhound’s iconic mask and headpiece.
This random multiplayer menu bug doesn’t seem like a widespread or common issue, though it certainly seems like it’s most likely to happen with parties of multiple players. AsModern Warfare 3’s Vortex modewraps up on January 17, players will undoubtedly begin to look ahead to what’s in store next for the gameduring the rest of the Winter with Season 2.
