Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's infamous Gaia skin will finally be disabled and updated, revealed developer Sledgehammer Games. The cosmetic's controversy stems from how it makes the user's character model extremely dark, rendering it tougher to shoot at than the game's other skins (via GamesRadar+).

In a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA), the developer stated that "adjustments to Gaia and Gaia Blackcell Operator Skins are in the pipeline for Modern Warfare 3. In a future game update, we'll disable this item until said changes can be released to all players."
