Sledgehammer Games has announced plans for the temporary removal of one of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's most problematic operator skins, as the skin's visibility issues need to be addressed.

The Call of Duty developer hosted a Reddit AMA for Modern Warfare 3, and one popular question from players involved the ongoing visibility issues of the Gaia "Evil Groot" operator skin that transferred over from Modern Warfare 2.

The Gaia skin is from Modern Warfare 2's Season 6 battle pass, and it previously received an update to help improve visibility in MW2 and Warzone, but the transparency of this tree-like character still makes it hard to see in Modern Warfare 3.

Due to these visibility issues, Sledgehammer Games announced that adjustments are in the works for fixing the standard and BlackCell versions of this battle pass skin. "In a future game update, we'll disable this item until said changes can be released to all players," the developer said in response.

In other Modern Warfare 3 news, the developer announced updates to multiplayer, including spawn changes and the addition of a stamina bar. Players can also level up faster this weekend with a Modern Warfare 3 double XP event starting on November 22.
