[QUOTE="Admin, post: 54183, member: 1"] A skin in Battlefield 2042 is being renamed after it was discovered to have a link to the Russo-Ukrainian War. Now that Battlefield 2042 is in early access, many players are quickly going through everything the game has to offer to see what they can unlock and earn as they play. During their search, certain players have found that specialist Pyotr "Boris" Gukovsky has an Epic skin called "Little Green Man." This upset many, including [URL='https://twitter.com/Waggle_ua/status/1459092319760752650?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1459229380182433792%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pcgamer.com%2Fbattlefield-2042-skin-referencing-the-russo-ukrainian-war-will-be-renamed%2F']@Waggle_ua,[/URL] who asked Battlefield 2042 developer DICE, "are you ok with jokingly putting the Russian terrorists that occupied part of my country?" For those unaware, the phrase little green men was in reference to [URL='https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26532154']Russian soldiers who took part in the annexation of Crimea during the Ukrainian crisis of 2014.[/URL] These soldiers wore unmarked green uniforms and, even though they carried Russian equipment, Russia initially denied they were from their country. Russian President Vladimir Putin eventually confirmed that these "little green men" were Russian, and it turned out they were special forces that were sent into Crimea.
