Yes, it’s real, Gundam is coming to Call of Duty

While the increasingly bizarre operator skins in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 have been divisive, I’ve been a fan of them. It makes matches more fun when my nemesis is Snoop Dogg or Discount Bobby Flay, but none of that matters now. Gundam is coming to Modern Warfare 3, and Raven Software has direct access to my wallet.

I fully support Gundam cosplay in Modern Warfare 3

Announced today on the Call of Duty blog, three tracer packs are coming alongside a Gundam-themed event in Season 4. The packs include operator skins for OGs RX-78-2 and the Zaku II alongside a more recent Gundam, the Aerial.

There’s not much information outside of that, but I’m desperately hoping the exclusive mode pits the Principality of Zeon against the Earth Federation via the RX-78-2 and Zaku II operator skins. I wouldn’t mind seeing Suletta going up against her own ghosts, but there (sadly) isn’t any word on a Gundam Calibarn operator skin.
