The unique design covers every aspect of the weapon in focus, from an entirely golden scope to the team name being plastered on the hilt of the gun.
“Wait dude this is FIRE,” Call of Duty veteran and Dallas Empire member James ‘Clayster’ Eubanks responded to the post, evidently supporting the movement to get team camos in Modern Warfare.

Known predominantly for his Call of Duty World League trading cards, this isn’t the first time that the designer has created weapon camos in Call of Duty. He ensured that plenty of additional weapon designs will be coming in the near future as more brands are revealed.

“I’ll make better camos with the meta once that is clear,” he stated. With the New York and Los Angeles-based franchises having recently unveiled their respective branding, it’s only a matter of time until each and every brand is unveiled in full.
The London-based Royal Ravens were the focus of another gorgeous camo design.The last time that we saw official esports weapon skins in a Call of Duty title was with Sledgehammer Games’ WWII. Powerhouse brands like OpTic Gaming and eUnited were represented, with fans able to don camos of their favorite teams across all weapons.
Whether Infinity Ward will reinstitute esports-centric weapon skins in 2019’s Modern Warfare remains to be seen. However, if the response to this community design is anything to go off, pro players and fans alike are highly supportive of getting the new franchises in-game.
