Call of Duty has taken a bold step forward and applied the live service structure, which features crossovers with other popular franchises. The game used to be about the spoils of war and its negative impact, but this specific collaboration fits the bill perfectly, and the fans are loving it.
Bethesda Game Studios’ Fallout is a beloved fan-favorite series, and the gaming community will take any form of content. The collaboration between major gaming companies will likely unite fandoms and celebrate this crossover.
One Funny Fallout Feature Is in Call of Duty
Many other live-service games like Fortnite and Call of Duty started rolling out cosmetic items inspired by Fallout, and the recent live-action Prime Video adaptation deserves partial credit for the surge of popularity. Game developers will need to do extensive research and reintegrate certain features that stood out to the gaming community and bring them back in a cathartic way, and Activision did it right.

It may not mean much to the average player, but hardcore fans of the series will most likely appreciate the developers for bringing back this deep-cut and iconic meme and getting a good laugh out of it. Game developers are doing everything in their power to appeal to the other group of fans and to assure them that this crossover event will honor both series.
Perhaps the developers should consider redirecting their efforts to make more content inspired by Fallout rather than using old cosmetic items for in-game operators like Ghost in Skinny Jeans. This crossover will allow the developers to shed some light on both franchises and give the fans a worthwhile experience.
Call of Duty Players Did Not Dislike That Kind of Easter Egg
Unfortunately, not everyone is a fan of crossovers or collaborations, especially if the developers are making ridiculous cosmetic items that could break what little sense of realism and immersion the game has left to offer. The themes and setting of both of these franchises go hand in hand; the world has been left in ruins after the catastrophic chain of events of dropping bombs during a nuclear war that shook the world to its core.
Perhaps Activision and Bethesda Game Studios thought it would be best to make this crossover work despite the different settings, timelines, and whatnot. Players can come up with different head canons, believing both game series come one after the other and they are bridging the gap between events.
Small details can make a massive difference, and including the meme is a testament that the developers are observant. Not everyone will get or appreciate this reference, but it is still there regardless.
Perhaps Activision will start to make more creative Easter eggs and references as the collaboration event is ongoing and for players to discover.
