Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 obviously understands this as it has been bringing a ton of content lately, including the recent EURO 2024 bundle with its ‘Tournament Favourites’ bundle. 

It brought a slew of new content to the game, including new operator skins, weapon blueprints, and finisher moves, themed around the popular soccer tournament. 

While the current Copa America coincides with the European tournament, a season 5 finisher move inspired by Copa America is a great homage to the eponymous soccer tournament.

The leaked animation for the rumored Copa America-inspired finisher has already sparked a debate among players. The animation in question shows the operator as he delivers a quick kick to the enemy’s knee from the side. This causes the enemy to fall to the ground and the operator then launches the enemy into the sky with a powerful football/soccer-style kick. 

Some fans are very excited about the potential new finisher saying it would quickly become a favorite move and everyone would start using it. 

Moreover, another player added that this would be Kong’s finisher move if he was a football player.

Nevertheless, some aren’t exactly thrilled about the move and would love to see the enemy’s head off, instead of them disappearing into thin air. 

The social media buzz behind the leak only says that fans want more content in Call of Duty games as one fan posed the question of whether the soccer player bundles of Modern Warfare 2 will return.

While the opinions are mixed, if turned true, Copa America finisher can be a nice addition to the game.
