On 6th December, the first season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will go live. While it includes a ton of new maps, weapons, and items for players to add to their loadouts, the Assassin Vest is already generating a lot of stir among players. When Modern Warfare 3 was released in November 2023, critics had mixed feelings about it because of its brief campaign mode.

The players are complaining about the Call of Duty skill-based matchmaking system. It appears that the expectations have been lowered as the game's first season is going to be released in December. To directly address the concerns, the developers have now issued a statement. The dissatisfaction of gamers with the upcoming Season 1 extends beyond the SBMM system.

The Modern Warfare 3 community is already concerned about the new Assassin Vest which comes with benefits that allows players to easily create camps in secret locations to defeat their enemies. The tactical jacket, which was shared by CharlieIntel on Twitter, gives  benefits to players like becoming immune to enemy radar effects and UAV strikes, as well as kills not displaying skulls. Due to the motionless nature of the camouflage, gamers are only visible when they are within the line of sight of another player. But there is a disadvantage.The vest is unable to disable Field Upgrades, which means that if an emergency arises, players are unable to call for help or utilise reinforcements.

The vest will be available to both Modern Warfare 3 and Season 1 of Warzone and some players are dissatisfied at how Activision is approaching the wearable. Fans are using social media to accuse developers who camp out and watch the action happen all around them. In some comments The Assassin Vest is compared to the notorious Ghost perk which has similar effects but applicable only when the player moves. The opinion of IvPhantomIx was shared on twitter by some players which said that the Vest is simply overpowered.
