Battlefield 6 faces claims of copying Call of Duty artwork in new skin

Battlefield 6 has come under scrutiny from players after claims emerged that one of its paid cosmetic items closely resembles artwork from the Call of Duty series.

The criticism centres on the Objective Ace skin, part of the Season 1 Battlefield Pro bundle, which is included in the $100 Phantom Edition or sold separately for $25.

The allegations surfaced on Reddit on January 30, when user ForeGhost1013 shared images comparing the Battlefield skin with the Call of Duty: Ghosts logo. “They aren’t beating the allegations with this one,” the user wrote, pointing to visual similarities between the two designs.

Players highlighted comparable cracks, chips and facial markings between the two images. One commenter wrote, “Looks like an AI copy, why would an artist draw the crack going through the lower face?” Another added, “I think the little empty spot on the upper right eye is what convinced me that it is AI copied.”

While some users noted that skull and ghost imagery is common in military shooters, others argued the similarities were too precise to ignore.

One response stated, “The edges on the lower jaw, the chip over the eye on the left, and the crack running across the cheeks are almost identical. Yes skulls are nothing new, but this one literally looks like an AI haphazardly copied the Ghosts mask design.”

Another player speculated that artificial intelligence tools may have been used in development, suggesting that a generative model could have reproduced the design from training data.

The accusations follow earlier claims that Battlefield 6 had included AI-generated assets in its in-game store. Players previously pointed to a sticker depicting an M4A1 rifle with visible inaccuracies, including two barrels and no trigger.

YouTuber JackFrags addressed the controversy in a recent video, referring to what he described as “AI slop” and suggesting the asset appeared to lack human oversight. He said the situation risked damaging player trust and overall sentiment toward the game.

EA has not commented on the claims, and there is currently no confirmation that artificial intelligence was used to create the artwork in question.
