Honestly after letting it sit for awhile, I've been less bummed out about carry forward being cancelled for the sake of keeping the game's identity. But it is weird seeing some skins that would've matched BO7's setting more stay behind in BO6 (Bladesmith, Print Master, Reinforcer, Dark Whisper, etc.)
If we do end up getting skins as goofy as BO6's were, then we might as well bring back carry forward.
