Call of Duty Seemingly the Measuring Stick Of Other FPS’, At Least in 1 Aspect
Call of Duty and Valorant are two of the most popular FPS titles in the world. Despite huge differences in gameplay and mechanics, there are some similar reasons why these two games have reached the top.
Be it intense battles, intricate maps, or unique weapon skins, there’s no match between these titles. However, there is one aspect that the Riot Games shooter might need to learn from Activision Blizzard.
Valorant Needs to Learn How to Inspect Weapons from Call of Duty
Call of Duty has recently announced its arrival on Xbox Game Pass. Along with it, this popular title has also launched the all-new Season 5.
In this season, there is a new Tracer Pack called the Down from the Skies Mastercraft Ultra Skin. This bundle contains a superb-looking skin of the XRK Stalker Sniper Rifle, called the Celestial Core.
So far, everything was good, but hell was let loose after players noticed the inspection animation for the sniper. This is arguably the best weapon inspection animation the franchise has ever made.
In this animation, the whole gun is dismantled in several parts rotating around an orb, making a spectacular scene. As the animation nears an end, all the parts are enclosed again.

Valorant too brings out some of the craziest weapon skins in the world, like the Elderflame, Gaia’s Vengeance, Reaver, and more. However, this Riot shooter falls short of Call of Duty in weapon inspection animation.
There’s no denying that the popular 5v5 shooter also features some cool weapon animations, but the one for the Celestial Core XRK Stalker leaves every other FPS very far behind it.
Activision Is Still Making Mistakes in Bringing Bundles
Call of Duty might be the best when it comes to making weapon animations, but it is making some huge mistakes bringing out paltry bundles, that don’t fit with the typical vibe. Recently, the company has launched another bundle named Sock Puppet Tracer Pack.

For 2800 COD Points, the aptly named Sock Puppet Tracer Pack includes two silly sock puppet skins, one named Socky for the Bantam operator and the other named Sock It To ‘Em, for Raptor. Sock-themed weapon blueprints for the STG44 and the Lachmann Sub are included in the pack.
The problem for fans is that this franchise is based on a heavy and serious army tone with an intense environment. The game has sometimes gone for the lighthearted approach by collaborating with Dune, The Boys, Fallout, and many more.
However, this bundle has hurt the emotions of many fans who take the game seriously. Exploring new ideas is good, but forgetting the root and going for some unrealistic and trifling bundles is something many players think is a bad step for the company.
