I’ve been  black ops 6 bot lobbies fan since Modern Warfare 2, and I can’t believe what I just saw with the latest gun inspect animation. It’s not even a flex anymore—it’s like a circus act. My operator literally tosses the gun in the air, spins it, poses like he’s auditioning for an action movie, and then does a slow clap. Seriously? In the middle of a warzone?

I get that CoD has leaned more into flashy cosmetics and over-the-top bundles in recent years, but this takes it too far. There’s a line between cool and cringe, and this crossed it at full sprint. I’m all for personalization and style, but the inspect animation should still feel grounded in the setting. We’re supposed to be elite soldiers, not TikTok influencers on the battlefield.

Even worse, the animation lasts like 8 seconds! Imagine trying to flex mid-match only to get clapped because you're locked in this theatrical display. And let’s not forget how loud the inspect is—other players can actually hear some of these animations. Stealth? Dead.

I’m not asking for realism to the level of Arma, but maybe dial it back a bit? Give us stylish, confident, even playful gun inspects—but don’t turn them into a joke. This new inspect just feels like it was designed to go viral, not to enhance the in-game experience. Devs, please consider toning it down in the next patch or giving us a setting to toggle “extra” animations off. Anyone else feel the same?
