Call of Duty League returns with ‘headless’ players

The Call of Duty League has returned after its holiday break and is still showcasing new issues. this time removing the heads of players.

Since switching back to YouTube Gaming before the start of the season, the CDL has not had the most outstanding production. The first two days were riddled with issues like players being duplicated and even a referee joining the game at one point.

These aren’t the only issues that the CDL has been facing either. A cease and desist was issued to popular co-streamers Scump and The Flank, preventing them from watching or showing the games on Twitch.

Yet another bug has surfaced with the CDL’s return, this time by removing enemy players’ heads with the overlay.

Call of Duty League makes heads harder to hit

During the first match of the day between Atlanta FaZe and Los Angeles Guerrillas, the casters began noticing that the heads on the overlays were not showing up.

At first, they thought that it could be due to the new team skins that feature hoods. But, upon further inspection, it became clear that the players were, in fact, headless.

“No, they’re headless bro,” said Maven. “They’re headless. That guy did NOT have a head, I am 100% certain. That man had his head shot off but didn’t even have a head before it was shot off.”

The issue is likely due to the CDL’s use of skin and weapon overlays in the game. Instead of forcing the players to equip their team skins, they use a stream overlay to convey which team is which.

After the holiday, the CDL introduced team-themed operator skins, which would be shown on stream during the third week of qualifiers. However, it seems like the overlay isn’t exactly perfect by taking off the heads of enemy players.
