In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a new achievement has been introduced. It essentially rewards you for humiliating your dead opponents with the notorious “Tea-Bagging” move.
What is this achievement about? In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, there is a challenge called Sweet Tunes. It gives you a cute gun charm in the form of a muffin that listens to music. This item is part of the “Tomogunchi Turbo” bundle. You need to purchase this and equip the “Toy Watch”. Only then do you get the challenge for the achievement.
For this, you just need to “quickly crouch multiple times over different opponents after you have killed them.” It didn’t take long for the first players to realize: “Infinity Ward wants us to tea-bag our opponents.”
Tea-Bagging for Achievement – Disrespectful or Humorous?
What is tea-bagging? This term originally refers to a sexual practice. In games, however, it refers to a rude gesture where one crouches repeatedly over the face of a dead opponent. A detailed explanation of this gesture can be found here:
Tea-bagging is controversial in the gaming world. Some players see nothing wrong with it; it is just a playful gesture among players to let loose in the game and show that they have won.
Others find it extremely tasteless and unsportsmanlike. Especially in professional eSports circles, the gesture is frowned upon and there have been temporary bans in tournaments.
How is the achievement received: Some fans find it funny and refer to the tradition of tea-bagging in Call of Duty games. There was already a “Field Order” with a similar task in Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Other players, on the other hand, do not think much of it. They accuse developer Infinity Ward of rewarding bad behavior and tastelessness. “You encourage tea-bagging and quickscoping. What will come next? Drop-shotting? Are you now endorsing all the terrible stuff?”
Unrefined gestures like tea-bagging are not the only thing that fans of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare are currently upset about. Some players have a problem with the fact that professionals in eSports play other games, like the colorful Fall Guys, alongside their training before the top tournament of the season .
