The three main Call of Duty games available right nowâModern Warfare 2, Warzone 2.0, and Mobileâare gearing up for a new season of content, which will include all the usual additions: blueprints, skins, weapons, and the like. Tucked in this May 10 content drop, however, is a rather unique operator skin for the Phoenix Sunsâ 6 foot 10 inch power forward, Kevin Durant. And folks are wondering how that will work, exactly.
Season 3 Reloaded is Call of Dutyâs upcoming content drop. Featuring a new 6v6 multiplayer map, some extra handguns to play with, another DMZ experience, and more, Reloaded seems set to inject some new life into the shooter. But you might be (rightfully) wondering how Durant, the controversial 13-time NBA All-Star and two-time NBA Finals MVP, is joining the game and what he might look like.
Heâll get a limed-time store bundle when Season 3 Reloaded lands on May 10, replete with a âReap Thisâ assault rifle blueprint and the âEasy Moneyâ sniper rifle blueprint. A price for this bundle hasnât been revealed yet, but special operators like this tend to run $20. But those details arenât whatâs on folksâ minds. Nah, people are wondering just how tall the tall NBA man will be in a game mostly comprised of allegedly short soldiers.
Wait, COD operators are 4ft 2in tall?
According to a TikTok posted by Call of Duty YouTuber chasenoface, every operator in the first-person shooter is apparently under five feet tall. Extrapolating some figures based on the average height of a door frame (about 80 inches) and the distance from your eyes to the top of your head (around five inches), chasenoface did some math to discover that operators are just 4 feet 2 inches tall.

This led Twitter fans to ponder how Durant will look in the Call of Duty games, particularly next to these seemingly short kings and queens. Remember, Durant is nearly seven feet tall in the real world, so how is Activision going to adjust him to fit in this world? Will he be a Slenderman-esque figure, towering over everyone with an impossibly narrow hitbox? Will he go through a shrinking machine to drop to the same diminutive height that all the other operators reportedly are? Your guess is as good as mine.
âIs his character going to be a foot taller than the normal characters?â Twitter user Jay_Slide asked
âListed at what height?â wondered BrahmsTheGreat.
âMf gon spawn peek the entire time,â tweeter aiahsey said
âWill KD be shrunk down to the size of a normal human or are they gonna put a 6â11â guy in a shooting game because either way thatâs hilarious,âquestioned KENS5 staffer Tom Petrini.
He signed with the Germans in the early 40s bc he liked their chances https://t.co/h1EKbvTfpz

And considering Durant has switched teams a few times throughout his NBA career, folks are memeing the same thing happening in Call of Duty. There are also jokes mocking his shooting percentage, which is actually pretty good
âEvery time you die, you respawn on the team currently winning and you tell your team that this is the hardest road,â said Twitter user Rex_Madman.
âSomeone said he might request a trade to Battlefield,â yannyson1 said with a bunch of crying emojis.
âI played a couple rounds with him but we kept coming in 4th so he left and joined the winning team,â joked egid_io.
He needs to focus on answering the CALL OF his DUTY in game 3 https://t.co/LRpw448ziv

Kotaku reached out to Activision for comment.
Either way, Iâm laughing my head off at the prospect of a giant walking around a battlefield full of tiny people. Iâm also cracking up at the thought of seeing small guns in his big hands. Itâs more likely that heâll be proportioned appropriately when Season 3 Reloaded launches on May 10, but the image of a tall man in a small game will never leave my mind.
