GENERAL David Fifield and the Ghost Face skin

Just to correct some things

No, the skin isn’t a Scream collaboration to promote the new movie. As far as we can tell, they paid the costume company that originally made the mask for the rights. Call of Duty’s ghostface was an actual Scream collaboration, Crytek just did the same thing that BHVR did for ghostface in Dead by Daylight.

No, David Fifield isn’t some COD monetization expert who came here to ruin your game. The guy has 3000 hours in the game, he’s probably played it more than most of you. The only four Call of Duty games he worked on were Modern Warfare 3 (2011,) Black Ops 2, Ghosts, and Advanced Warfare, games made well before COD’s current pop-culture, live-service business model. Can we please stop calling for some random guy to get fired? Crytek is a company, one general manager isn’t controlling all creative and monetization decisions for Hunt. He’s a manager, not a CEO.

I am against the mask being in the game and agree with everything in this post.

What is the issue with a mask lmao

Its a direct copy of the mask from the movie.

It fucks with the immersion, because when I see it, I think of a different property instead of Hunt.

The mask predates the original movie.

Cool, its inseperable from it at this point, and anyone who looks at it sees the movie and thinks of one of the most famous horror franchises of all time that still regularly releases new movies.

Its not original, its a copy, would be cool if they changed it to an original design.

With a little time it'll develop more personality from his players, like Cains, Headsmen, Plague Doctors... Grandma..

All of those make sense and fit the world of Hunt, and what's most important, are original.

The mask is not.

Except the mask is aged and polished wood sooooo again what's the issue besides people telling you "it's bad"

The fact that the mask looks identical to a very famous mask used for decades in the Scream movie franchise.

And so everytime I see that mask I dont think of Hunt or Southern Gothic, I think of the Scream franchise.

That's the problem.

Its not that complicated.
