Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is almost knocking at the door. This highly anticipated installment from one of the most popular franchises is going to be released on October 25, 2024.
However, unlike previous times, the stakes are a lot higher. This upcoming title is going to bring a lot of changes, which will be the first time in the franchise. The biggest overhaul change is going to be the movement mechanics of the game. But fans might not take this change in a well manner.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 – New Gameplay Footage Leaked
Recently, new leaked gameplay footage of the upcoming title has surfaced on the web. In this video, we can get a glimpse of the ultra-fast movement mechanics of the game—sprinting, jumping, sliding, and strafing all around. The highly anticipated title is going to have brand new movement mechanics called Omnimovement. Now, what is it?
This new mechanic will allow you to sprint and slide in any direction, no matter which direction you want to go, even backward as well. This movement is the sole reason that the upcoming title won’t face any difficulty in crossplay lobbies, unlike Apex Legends.
In this new kind of movement, you will be able to dive, go prone, or slide in any direction. Not only that, you will also be able to slide in the direction you jumped in when landing from a jump. So, basically, you can move literally however you want.
For instance, you can make your own movement combos to dodge the bullets of your enemies, like quick back paddles, fast side strafes, or successive jumps, slides, and jumps that too in different directions each time.
Previously, it was Tac Sprint that made players move super quickly. But after the arrival of Omnimovement, we might not need Tac Sprint anymore.
Fans Don’t Like the Movement Mechanics of Black Ops 6

The new leaked gameplay footage has sparked the excitement even more. On the first look, the ultra-fast movements seem quite fascinating. But fans might not be accepting this movement, drifting away from typical Call of Duty aesthetics.
This dedicated fan thinks a Call of Duty game shouldn’t look like this. According to him, the best game of this franchise is Modern Warfare 2 (2022).
This fan has stated that an ideal Call of Duty game should have slow movement and tactical shooting experience, not this rapid movement like BO6. Despite being a “COD OG,” this leaked gameplay gives this fan anxiety.
Another fan too thinks a Call of Duty game shouldn’t be like this.
It looks like Call of Duty is trying to change itself way too much.
Despite being excited for the game, a fan didn’t like the movement of the game at all.
Now, this fan thinks this fast movement is surely going to be nerfed.
Bringing about changes for exploring new opportunities and aspects is always a great effort. But if that change is deviating from the core element of the franchise, then it’s quite inevitable that the franchise is going to suffer. And that is exactly what Black Ops 6 is doing.
