Summary
The latest premium DLC pack forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3adds a playable dinosaur operator skin to the game. The skin is available from theCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3in-game store, and is usable in bothMW3andWarzone.
Though theCall of Dutyfranchise is most famous for content that emphasizes a sense of realism and recreation of real-life military hardware and uniforms, recent years have seen a much greater emphasis on fanciful, even silly cosmetic add-ons. The game even celebrated April 20 with the addition of a stoner-themedCall of DutyCheech and Chong crossover bundle, which added a playable “Stoney Sloth” operator skin.
The new dinosaur-themedCall of Dutyadd-on is called the Tracer Pack: CODasaurus Ultra Skin, and contains several cosmetic additions to bring some prehistoric power to the modern battlefield. The pack furthers the long history of multiplayer shooters and dinosaur gags, such asBattlefieldand Dino Mode.

The CODasaurus pack is centered around Sickle, a playable skin for the operator Riptide, who also received a skin from theModern Warfare 3Season 3 battle pass. The skin replaces Riptide’s appearance with a raptor-inspired dinosaur head. In keeping with recent discoveries in paleontology, the raptor’s head also bears a small crown of red feathers. It also sports a backpack containing a dinosaur fetus.
Besides the dinosaur skin, the pack includes blueprints for a pair of popular weapons: The “Dino Might"TAQ Eradicator LMGand the “Pack Leader” Haymaker shotgun. The guns are decorated with dinosaur and reptile-themed embellishments, like scale-patterned furniture and special tracer and dismemberment visual effects. Other cosmetics include a weapon charm, a calling card, an emblem, and a large decal.

Cosmetics
Call of Duty’s embrace of a lighter attitude towards cosmetic additions is entertaining, and allows for much more variety than keeping the game’s aesthetic rooted strictly in the realm of realistic military simulation or real-world historical references. The multiplayer environment is a far cry from the events that happen in the campaign plotlines, allowing a wider range of expression and tone than the story mode allows for in most cases. Further, the addition ofpopular crossovers likeWarhammer 40Kcan excite fans of those franchises and interest them in taking upModern Warfare 3orWarzone(or to spend a bit of cash on expressing their love for the IP). Future crossovers or more inventive skin packs and cosmetics should prove fruitful for the series, if the same level of quality is kept up.
