In the final update, a skin in the new Battlefield 2042 will be renamed after users pointed out that it had much in common with the Russian army during the annexation of regions of Ukraine in 2014. One of the games-characters, that is Russian-born Pyotr Boris Guskovsky, has a skin that you can unlock called Little Green. It seems like it could just be a joke, since the skin is green, and Boris is a very small boy. So thanks to the combination of the name and the Boris nationality, it was quickly found to be a reference to the Russian Annexation of the Crimea, a historically Russian territory, but now in the recognised international borders of Ukraine. A major and more conflicting aspect of the conflict (which in some areas continues), was the use of unmarked forces, no national flags or no other identifying marks on their uniforms and vehicles, and entered Ukraine and took numerous strategic locations, including the Crimean parliament. While using Russian equipment, their lack of insignia allowed Vladimir Putin to briefly claim they were actually local insurgents, and therefore it wasn’t an open annexation of foreign territory. Russia would finally admit that these men had actually been elite special forces, but by then, the damage had been done and Russia would end up taking the Crimea from Ukraine, aided by pro-Russian supporters in the region, and a sham referendum in the region was held after the seizing of its parliament. If this not a new person named The Green Men became, then you can understand why the Ukrainian gamegoers play the game for the first time and discover the skin of the man a little angryly. In response to that post, an official Battlefield account tweeted that while the skin itself would remain, it would be renamed: “At the time, we’re at battle”: “I would like to say that something is the same, more so!” Today you helped us know what name we used to say on a skin in Mastery, where he gave the name ‘bentire’. It references a real world issue in intention and isn’t reflective of our teams values. Well, change the name in a future update, and please let it become a word of the future. The same weekend that the Ukraine accused Russia of massing 100.000 troops on the front of the border.
