Battlefield 6 is once again facing criticism from players after a new cosmetic prompted accusations that it borrows heavily from one of the shooter genre’s most iconic visuals.
The dispute focuses on Battlefield 6’s Objective Ace skin from the Season 1 Battlefield Pro bundle, which many players say closely resembles Call of Duty: Ghosts’ iconic skull mask.
Despite Battlefield 6’s massive commercial launch and its status as the franchise’s fastest-selling title, the controversy has renewed questions about originality and creative oversight.
What Parts of the Skin Are Players Comparing?
The controversy started after fans posted side-by-side images on the Battlefield subreddit comparing the Objective Ace mask to the Ghosts logo.
Although skull and ghost-themed masks are common across military shooters, players argue that the similarities in this case go far beyond shared themes.
Attention has centered on highly specific design details, such as facial cracks, jawline chipping, and uneven gaps around the eyes that appear in nearly the same locations in both images.
It’s the near-identical imperfections, rather than the skull imagery, that lead many fans to believe the design was replicated.
As the topic spread online, theories emerged suggesting the cosmetic could have been made using generative AI.
Players pointed out that the arrangement of certain flaws appears too exact and illogical to have been deliberately designed by a human.
The theory gained traction because Battlefield 6 had recently faced similar allegations during the Winter Offensive update, when fans accused the game of selling AI-generated store artwork, including a sticker showing a weapon with impossible features such as duplicate barrels and missing components.
Even without official confirmation, the incident made players more wary of the game’s cosmetic process.
How Have EA and DICE Responded?
With no response from Electronic Arts or DICE, the controversy continues, as neither studio has commented on the visual similarities or addressed whether AI played a role in the skin’s creation.
The silence is striking, especially considering past statements from DICE leadership expressing interest in generative AI for future projects. Without clarification, players are left to speculate, which erodes trust.
