The "Bad Biker" skin for the Bantam operator in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has a disturbing graphical glitch that's stopping players from purchasing it from the in-game shop. Although more than a month has passed since the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, a few bugs and glitches still affect the game's multiplayer and Zombies content.
Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 is well underway with a variety of new maps, weapons, multiplayer playlists, and Zombies content. Sledgehammer Games also promised maps from 2022's Modern Warfare 2 will be added over the course of multiple updates and seasons. Like Modern Warfare 2, each season of Modern Warfare 3 will bring its fair share of unlockable and paid cosmetics as well, such as new operator skins and weapon camos - though one new skin is not as appealong as it normally would be.
Modern Warfare 3 player Darkfawful2 was going to purchase the Bad Biker skin for Bantam, but the player decided against buying it due to a disturbing bug that removes the operator's head except for his eyes. This strange bug may not be seen at first glance due to the biker helmet's dark tint. However, zooming into Darkfawful2's screenshot shows the operator's eyeballs floating in the empty helmet. This bug seemingly avoided the round of fixes made in the latest Modern Warfare 3 update, and some players are unhappy that paid skins can potentially be affected by this issue.
Darkfawful2 is disappointed with the Bad Biker skin's bug, but some Modern Warfare 3 players believe the visual oddity could lead to some funny moments in multiplayer matches. For example, snipers could be surprised by this strange glitch if they zoom into Bantam's helmet in a Modern Warfare 3 match. Others in the Reddit thread appear to be in agreement with Darkfawful2, since some of Modern Warfare 3' s other skins are controversial. Criticism of Modern Warfare 3's microtransactions seem to be prevalent as well.
The Bad Biker skin is just one of multiple skins with strange flaws in Modern Warfare 3, however. The new Ares bundle in Modern Warfare 3 is historically inaccurate, since the bundle includes an operator skin based on the Roman Empire instead of Ancient Greece. These inconsistencies are just one of the problems that Modern Warfare 3 players have with the game, with some arguing that the newly added cosmetics lack the care and quality that fans deserve for the price being charged in the in-game shop.
