Call of Duty releases statement explaining the removal of Nickmercs’ bundle
It’s highly unlikely we’ll be seeing the return of this creator bundle anytime soon, as Call of Duty has taken down all marketing related to Nickmercs, ranging from blogposts to the full trailer. It remains to be seen if players will be refunded for having bought the bundle, or if Nick will remain the rarest skin in Modern Warfare 2 moving forward. The operator pack previously cost 2400 COD Points.
The Call of Duty community has been vocal about wanting the return of bundle gifting, support a creator codes, and the likeliness of Scump or Faze Swagg in the item shop. Season 4 releases on June 14th, more information can be found here.
