Call of Duty Black Ops 6: Gameplay guide


Black Ops 6 brings three major gameplay changes:


Omnimovement : Black Ops 6 introduces a new movement system called "omnimovement," which allows players to sprint, dive, and shoot in any direction. This feature opens up new tactical possibilities and promises to redefine skill expression in the Call of Duty franchise. With this feature, players can now sprint backwards and sideways, dive to the left or right and backwards and even shoot while in midair during a dive.

Human Shields : Instead of executions, Black Ops 6 introduces a new "hostage" mechanic where players can grab an enemy from behind and use them as a human shield. While not a game-changer, this adds a fun and potentially humorous element to multiplayer matches.

Sniper changes : In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, snipers have been significantly buffed, with any shot to the torso or above resulting in a one-hit kill. This change addresses the long-standing balancing issue of snipers in the franchise and could potentially redefine their role in multiplayer. While it remains to be seen if this ability is too powerful, it has the potential to make snipers a more formidable force on the battlefield.
