Call of Duty skins have moved so far beyond ridiculous that the line that was once crossed is now nowhere in sight.

Mil-Sim lovers are in constant shamble, as bunnies, Nicki Minaj, The Walking Dead's Rick Grimes, and rats are all darting around the map, not soaking up any objective time, and trying their best to be the top dog, literally.

But now another member of the rodent family is set to arrive in Modern Warfare 3, and it's not the adorable Capybara.

MW3 leaks include a new Pigeon Operator

 

Ahead of Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 Reloaded, popular Call of Duty leaker "HeyImAlaix" has showcased a range of Operator skins that have been found in the files.

Used for the Operator Bantam, one skin contains the head of a Pigeon, rather than a helmet, although the vermin bird is even wearing a hat.

The skin appears to come finished off with some form of mug dangling from its hip, and an un-meta-fied green outfit that will likely mean the skin will be a popular choice in Warzone over multiplayer.

MW3's upcoming Pigeon skin is already getting slated by fans

Joining a range of other furries as Operators in Modern Warfare 3, the Pigeon skin has instantly attracted some hate from players.

"Another cool skin RUINED BY A F**KING ANIMAL HEAD," said one fan on Twitter after the leaks.

A second fan agreed, adding, "True...I was actually planning to buy it. But now running around with a pigeon head is so not pleasing."

Given these skins that are placing animal heads on top of Operators, maybe it's about time we got that iconic T-Rex look, or even a crossover will Toy Story to bring Rex into play alongside Buzz Lightyear, who will easily fit into something along the same lines as the Warhammer 40K skins...

Just not bloody pigeons, they're scary.
