The Border War skin seemed to allude to the situation on the border between the United States and Mexico.

Continuing with various measures Activision and Infinity Ward have taken to eliminate all traces of racism from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone, the studio announced yesterday afternoon, via Twitter, the modification of an outfit that used to be called Border War, and that seemed to allude to the tense dynamics that exist on the border between Mexico and the United States.

As you know, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare includes several characters or operators, available to occupy in multiplayer, with no playable features beyond cosmetic distinction. Thus, the charm lies precisely in unlocking or buying themed appearances for the operators, one of which is the Texan D-Day who, in addition to various military attire, can wear civilian police suits with a ranchero hat. Among these costumes is the aforementioned Border War, whose description read: “Show them the error in their actions and make them pay with the Border War skin for D Day.”

Now the skin is named Home of the Range, and its description reads: “Play alongside the deer and the antelope with the D-Day skin, Home of the Range,” where “Home of the Range” would be a game. of words conformed by a stanza of the hymn of the United States and, as much the rangers of Texas, as the shooting ranges or shooting range. Infinity Ward did not elaborate on the reasons for the change, merely listing it among several other tweaks contained in a recent patch.

As part of the protests over the death of George Floyd, Infinity Ward pledged to take steps to attack racism in her community. Days ago we reported that the study had withdrawn a controversial gesture, and there have also been waves of vetoes that could be related to racist IDs. Meanwhile, the game is going through Season 4 multiplayer.
