Players are accusing Battlefield 6 of ripping off Call of Duty: Ghosts artwork in a paid cosmetic. The Objective Ace skin, part of the Season 1 Battlefield Pro bundle, has a skull mask that looks suspiciously close to the iconic Ghosts logo.
The skin costs $25 standalone or comes with the $100 Phantom Edition.
Reddit Starts the Fire
Reddit user ForeGhost1013 posted side-by-side images comparing the Battlefield 6 mask to the Ghosts logo. "They aren't beating the allegations with this one," they wrote.
Details Players Are Pointing To
Players aren't just seeing a generic skull. They're calling out specific matching elements: a diagonal crack across the lower face, a chip over the eye, and similar patterns along the jaw.
"The edges on the lower jaw, the chip over the eye on the left, and the crack running across the cheeks are almost identical," one commenter wrote. "Yes skulls are nothing new, but this one literally looks like an AI haphazardly copied the Ghosts mask design."
Some pushed back, noting skull imagery is common in military shooters. Objective Ace does differ from the Ghosts design in places, and one source floated that the similarity might just be coincidence.
AI Accusations Return
The plagiarism talk has brought AI speculation back into the mix. "Looks like an AI copy, why would an artist draw the crack going through the lower face?" one player asked.
Another responded: "I think the little empty spot on the upper right eye is what convinces me that it is AI copied."
One player theorized a generative AI model pulled the design from its training data.
Player and Creator Reactions
Twitter user Enders didn't mince words: "This is blatantly copying the Ghosts logo and their mask designs which are original designs to CoD."
Enders also made clear this isn't about skull masks in general: "CoD also has other characters with skull masks that this IS NOT copying, so it is not an issue of skull masks in general being unique to CoD, but this specific design."
Other players called the skin "blatant," "AI slop," and a "TEMU version" of the original.
YouTuber JackFrags covered the controversy in a recent video. He called the asset "AI slop" and said it looked like no one checked the work before it shipped. The situation, he said, risks eroding player trust.
EA Stays Silent
EA hasn't commented. There's no official word on whether AI tools were used to create the artwork.
