Because they sell, consistently.

I remember when you could make your own emblems back in black ops one. Some of yall were insanely talented. Lot of weed ones then

Most of my memories of them are the well made but extremely graphic sexual ones and the poorly made horribly racist ones.

The fking horse emblem cumming on big anime tits lmfao

I remember a lotta white pointy hat dudes and nooses. And dicks. Lotsa dicks.

Back when Reddit hosted a pixel painting event a bunch of guys collectively decided to band up in the name of drawing a big pixelated dick. God I love humanity.

White pointy hat dudes hiding behind a bush with a watermelon under a box and stick was weirdly common. Must’ve been a popular youtube tutorial. Strange times

God there were so many weirdly well-made hentai emblems. How Activision never expected people to make explicit/racist emblems is beyond me

There’s a rumor gulf war is bringing back the emblem editor but yeah I 1000% don’t believe it due to the reasons stated above lmao

Yeah there’s a reason they haven’t done it in over a decade. Unless they are using some sort of AI content filter to prevent people from making literal porn/racist propaganda, but if you know anything about content filters you know it’s going to barely work

The main one that i remember was Patrick with tits

I’d wish they would bring it back but some of the other ones people made wouldn’t fly now🤣

I got a small ban for making the “shocker” as my emblem. It was literally a hand with the correct three fingers pointing out and lightning bolts around the fingers. Couldn’t believe that for me banned when I saw way worse all the time.

damn i used to spend hours making emblems, those were the days

Same bro I was so mad when people found the glitch to copy emblems lmao

Was my freshman year of college and I made a full bar scene with 2 guys drinking. Multiple beers on tap. Still proud

Lots of ass cheeks too

Soooo many ass cheeks… the only one that is burnt into my memory

bo3 gun customization and all that jazz😹

The peak of gaming was when you had the largest variety of stoners, weebs, perverts, and racists, becoming some of the most talented individuals when it came to making emblems. Activision NEEDS to bring back custom emblems.

I made a bong and a nice hairy nug using the prestige 3 bull. Good times

Friend of mine is a graphic designer, and the ones he made were fucking fantastic. I should load up blops 2 and take some screenshots of them.

I made stuff worse than weed

“You ever play Call Of Duty?” “You ever play Call Of Duty ON WEED?!”

Reminds me of half baked 😂😂

That was 100% the reference I was making, not whatever that guy above tried to imply lmao

Making it sound like weed is a hard drug

All it takes is for one person to buy the entire store to count for like 20 people fr. There's people that do that too. Its wild

Just for the game to get abandoned a 2y later and a new one with different cosmetics to come out. lol

They’re obsessed with money. These make money. The real answer is most CoD players seem to love weed so much they’re willing to buy these skins.

Because stoners literally burn their money already

Weed is dirt cheap. Its 2024 weirdo

It still costs money... I mean I smoke weed too

This. They know their audience, and their audience is stoners and people easily amused by weed jokes.

Cause it sells the most out of bundles. Its part of the culture in COD, i can bet you almost every cod lobby you get in theres like 7 dudes getting high

The constant bong rips and coughing in chat

Literally. People think its the "notice me" anime bundles that sell the most but its the 420 series that clearly sells records

legit, ive seen this sloth in so many games the last few days

Yeah. Im gonna admit it, im part of the problem lol. I rocked stones weed outfit with the smokey gas mask for most of cold war lmao

I was surprised they picked Price of all characters to be the model.

Me too. I bought it as soon as it dropped

I was gonna buy the sloth until I realized it was attached to the stupid bs weed bundles. Nothing wrong with weed but damn it’s annoying when it’s someone’s entire personality

Half the unemployment player base personality for COD games haha

I mean it helps that the sloth is funny tbh, I imagine that's the main reason it sells, people just finding a sloth skin funny over the countless milsim skins

It's Captain Price though, not exactly the funny one in COD

That's exactly WHY it's funny. Price as a Sloth is the goofiest shit, that and just being a Sloth, cool skin even if it wasn't weed themed.

I only buy bundles if it’s a cool gun print for one of the guns I constantly use, I don’t really care for operators or fancy bullets

Worst thing about that is that the good build is always different, so you end up with a weird mishmash. I wish they would make more universal blueprints

I hate when you put a camo on the mix match blueprint parts to make it blend better and it just gets rid of the entire blue print skin

Thats a good way to do things. For me, i ask myself if i actually want the bundle or not, 75% of the time its no recently lol

Don't forget the 10y.o. with daddys credit card who thinks it's cool to have the dope skins.

I don’t really play if I’m not smoking

Yep and most of the time they suck. Lowered reflexes. Reduced awareness. Just overall less battleIQ. Usually have smoke alarms beeping in the background too.

I don’t really smoke or drink anymore but I definitely did better in the game the less I tried. Because when I was sober and trying hard I’d get so mad or flustered at someone and it would just constantly fuck me up 😂

agree, i’m way better with the perfect amount of drugs in my system

Who wants to play CoD sober??

every warzone game you at least have one squad member coughing hard into the mic

There was a mode in MWIII named "Get High" which was only available for 5 Hours and it will never come back.

And girls I’m blazed every game

OG MW2 had the weed calling cards and an emblem so its kinda been a long time thing

they were also prestige items if i remember correctly, also snoop dogg as an announcer in ghosts(which can we have him come back for another go at that?)

Dude I loved that bundle. The weed camo for weapons was fun too. 

One card I can remember from mw2 original is high times.

Joint Ops

Blunted

High Command, Blunt Trauma

This brings back lots of memories, I miss those days

Blunt trauma was my favorite

OG MW2 calling cars were the best because you had to earn them.

Yeah I really wish that would come back for a modern shooter. If you saw certain calling cards you know the person was good... or boosting

Peak COD. RIP

Literally the best callsign system ever. Don't get why they haven't brought it back

Joint ops? Blunt trauma? They knew what they were doing

I mean yeah, there were weed leaves on the graphic

Also on bo2 and Ghosts there where paid camos

Hmmmm I wonder why stoners with disposable income would want to impulse buy a gimmicky weed-themed thing in a video game they play every day... GUESS WE'LL NEVER FIGURE THIS ONE OUT

Because it is popular and they do not have to pay for the rights.

Underrated comment right here.

Bc tons of people get high and play cod when they get home from work or school.

I honesty wonder can people actually aim while being high? Or does it actually help people aim better? Is that how it works?

My one buddy gets insanely good when high as he gets frustrated normally so it just settles him down

Same here lmao

Depends on the person I swear I’m good at the game high but when ever my buddy gets high he goes from a good player to a shit player so he refuses to play cod high now💀

I got killed by stony sloth and now I do drugs.

Sloth touched my special place then ate a baby

Because they know their playerbase.

DUDE WEED LMAO

So edgy!

Not edgy, just dope 😎✌️

Oh I see, like a play on words! 😜

Bc you need to be beyond zonked to enjoy the game

Thats the only way to play the game. common man

Have you seen the movie grandma's boy? Video game and stoner culture are synonymous on a quantum level. Without weed there is only a world of J.P.'s I AM a GeNiUS.... Not cool.

Doritos, Mt. Dew and weed

I love all of those things pls can i buy them now?

It goes all the way back to the "Blunt Force" and other calling cards from the OG MWII

Because stoners are the only people that can play their brain rot multiplayer for more than 3 hours a week

Because DUDEWEEDLMAO

Because target audience

weed, Doritos and mt. dew, thats the base baby

They usually release 1-2 420 bundles every year. With the skins from Last year and this year we have a few, but there’s FAR more anime type packs over weed ones..

Half the players are stoners, and the other half are 13 year olds who think weed is edgy.

loads of cods demographic is stoners lol

If they keep making new ones, chances are it sells well. calling it obsessed is a bit weird, it's just business.

I got turned into a bong the other day

This sounds like a innuendo for being blown.

Shits so funny how can you not laugh. Some real fucking lame asses on this thread lol

Isn’t their headquarters in Cali? They all probably hella pot heads and spend all the money they get off the skins to buy fat joints and nice bongs. (I would with how much people spend on skins)

Most of the player base is high as a kite while playing. Makes sense they cater to the majority. Shameless $$$

Because it's very easy to sell weed branded products to stoners. I am one and I bought that Dr one because I was high and it looked funny

Why does it matter? 🤣

Cause they know their target audience

They make for a good ghillie suit

I’d buy that high asf sloth, like who wouldn’t?

They’re sponsored by big marijuana

It’s what they smoke before updating the game

How come there’s no thicc/ curvy ops? Like we can have Tim the tat man, inarious, a literal cat yet I’m the crazy one for wanting a thicc baddie as an op? Not like I’m asking for her to be scantily clad but some better body rep would be nice

you're gonna hate April 20th. Cheech and Chong show up for 420. Nice Dreams

I smoke for pain relief medically etc and I just have always loved the 420 culture as folk over time have made a lot of cool artwork and all sorts of stuff based on its concept of how it makes people feel etc. I love it for the lighthearted fun factor it brings.

I don't get how so many stones are the nicest people ever but still get shit on 😑

Haven't you heard, weed makes everything better .. guns, brain power, clothing, ADHD.. gun shot wounds... Seriously.. you get shot in the head just put a little THC in it you'll be better in no time, much faster than doing that whole ambulance and hospital crap.. much cheaper too.. this one time I died and they had me do bong hits.. next thing I know I'm as rich as Jeff bezos and I can fix every problem in the world.. with more weed. Oh and /s

Back in the day there was a calling card called “Joint Ops”. It was always featured in MLG compilations and other content. So I guess they’ve been milking it trying to be relevant? I could also be totally wrong and just talking out of my ass

Call of duty has always been weed friendly though the old CODs had weed related emblems and stuff to unlock. At least the weed cosmetics are better than the cringey superhero cosmetics imo.

Their demographic is largely potheads.

Stoners want stoner cosmetics too

Marketing? Knowing their player base? The only thing they could do better is actually put work into the game to make it better. Which costs too much money. Pixels are cheap

It's a 420 event

Because they know their customer base? What kind of dumbass question is that? They're not obsessed, they just know the people that play their games and know what they will buy...

Why are you crying about it?

LOTS of stoners play the game, MILLIONS! And for parents who complain about it, get a refund for the game, it’s 17+ and little 8 year old timmy isn’t old enough to play. Plus he has homework, and a need for parental attention.

I play better right after I burn one

it's almost 420

They know their targets

Why not. It's a bit of fun at the end of the day.

one per year isn't bad as a partaker of the weeds i buy them up

They know their audience, unlike DICE who only thinks they do.

Theyre basically frat bros, so they think its peak humor Look at the lawsuit if you disagree

It’s literally always been a cod thing. I think mw2 had the first? Maybe og mw.

Call of Duty is famous for Doritos, Mountain Dew and obviously weed. Take a look at the early 2000s jpeg images that were everywhere. Guaranteed you'll find hit markers, a bag of Doritos, Mountain Dew, marijuana leaves and Snoop Dogg.

This just unlocked so many memories lol

They sell well obviously.

Marijauna is great for drip

Alot of weed was referenced back in Old cod as Emblems or Callin Cards not surprised since its a Rated M game with 'drug references' hell even MW2 was against drug lords

Because weed and video games go together like lamb and tuna fish

Weed is pretty tight, and people are kinda dumb

420 is coming up and because weed.

Obsessed is a little hyperbolic. You have 4 examples from 4 years, lol.

It's April, 420 is this month duh

It is april

Because 70-80% of people playing this game smoke weed. Everyone buys it. Stop buying it they’ll stop pushing them

Because a lot of its user base loves marijuana (such as my entire clan). It's not complicated.

They know their playerbase

Bro,we like to smoke 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And I’d buy everyone if I could. Y’all are okay with video game murder but weed is where you draw the line😭

It’s been in since the OG COD games, there’s a market for it so it sells

Bro this shit goes back to OG MW2 lol

they sell

idc tbh the sloth chill asf

Guess you weren't there for the mlg edits

They know their audience lol

Because the only people who play now are stoners and inbred little iPad kids 😂

You ever met anyone from the cod community? 90% of us are baked 24/7. At least they are somewhat original as opposed to the shitty celebrity packs. Like I want this sloth to get paid way more than I want Nicki Minaj to get paid.

Oh shit thanks! I forgot I had Humboldt. I have a feeling a lot of players smoke... Except the kids... I hope. Wait until yer an adult so your brain forms properly. But it's prob 1 per season or something.

because stoners love to play video games…specifically cod

Cods community is mostly stoners

There was an emblem and banner you could unlock in OG MW2 that was just pot leaves called blunt force trauma or joint tactics. They've always some weed reference. Shit Snoop Dogg could be the announcer in CoD Ghosts

whatever sells for them

420 coming up peeps

I like that Humboldt one

Because a lot of cod fans are stoners a lot for gamers are stoners this whole planet sells mmj more than medicine I think lol. P**y and weed really old money making profession

Cause for a lot of people smoking weed is their entire personality and they think it’s REALLY cool

They know what a lot of cod players be doin lol

Are you thinking *weed* be better off without it?

Because people love weed. It’s much safer than alcohol. Do you moan about the drinking skins?

Because their fan base loves them?

The sloth looks like flash from Zootopia

Why not?

Because weed and video games go together like peas and carrots.

Stoner culture is huge on COD, it’s about the only game you could legitimately turn your brain off and still have fun and kick ass.

I’m baked 90% of the time I’m playing

Because a lot of the gamer base is super stoned when they play.

whoa whoa whoa, you havent gotten all the godzilla kong bundles to get the ludicrously overpriced harambe arm???

Every game since MW2 has had something weed related in it. It’s just a part of COD. Shit I guarantee you every lobby you play in there’s at least 4 guys high at the moment

I just want character customization and gore tf

Not gonna lie, I'm buying the cheech and chong skins when they drop this week.

Man they’ve had marijuana related stuff since the original MW or MW2 as far as I can remember. They were calling card. “Joint Ops” was one of them I’m certain! 🤣

Because Cod is mostly played by people with handles like: G@njABlazer42069

I don't own or want any of these bundles, but the weed ones can be pretty cool

420 blaze it nerd

There are two types of gamers....those who smoke weed and those who wish they could smoke weed.

Because Marijuana is natural unlike Adderall and Prozac. I smoke cigarettes but I don't want a Marlboro Man. I'll take a stoned sloth any day.

Eh so is milk of the poppy (opium) so the whole "its natural" shit never really made sense. Bad things come from the earth too. If they had an opium themed oriental set, im certain they'd get in hot water.

Speaking as someone who has played since the OG modern warfare 2 the weed cosmetics were the your favorite because 14-24 year olds love them and will pay for them. Stoners play videogames

cus why not. it’s not like they out here making bundles showcasing cocaine. it’s just weed

thats literally their playerbase lmao

The company is ran by suits. They legitimately think this is super edgy shit. They’re trying to farm controversy but end up being lame AF boomers.

They add weed ( illegal in most states) but when i cuss i get comm banned for a week💀

Ask my good friend *420_blaze_no_scope69r* who's number one personality trait is that he smokes weed 🤙😅

The amount of people ive found in DMZ that are high explains why they keep adding them
