  "account": "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is introducing dynamic cosmetic options for certain characters like Ghost. In the recent beta, players have discovered new features allowing them to modify certain cosmetic items on the fly during gameplay. Ghost can remove his mask, revealing another cloth underneath, and then put it back on. Valeria can equip a hockey mask, while Captain Price can smoke a cigar, which remains on-screen in first-person unless removed. This feature can be accessed via the Operator Variant Emote Wheel. The addition of these dynamic cosmetics is likely to be exploited for premium skins. The game's developers have also promised to avoid controversial themes, ensuring no Lady Gaga, Omni-Man, Teletubbies, or SpongeBob appear in Modern Warfare 4. Early reactions to the beta have been mixed, with some players expressing concerns about the game's speed and small maps. However, Infinity Ward has addressed many of these concerns through patches focusing on time-to-kill, spawns, and gunsmith improvements prior to the launch.",
