Normally in Call of Duty, mantling small walls and running would stop you from shooting, but now you can keep firing and using other weapons (although your accuracy will be greatly affected, as it should be).ĭucking, running, and sliding have also all been improved in order to make getting away from an opponent bearing down on you a much more frequent occurrence in Black Ops III. When it comes to shooting, it makes for some interesting firefights. So walking, running, and jumping affect what you’re able to do and how you do it. But it’s when shooting is tied with the movement that the multiplayer really shinesīlack Ops III uses a momentum based movement system. At its very base, the movement will feel right at home for fans of Respawn’s latest wall running, a jet pack that can be used in spurts for quick jumps or as a way to soar to new heights, and much improved strafing are all available. Advanced Warfare took advantage by adding jet-powered strafing and double jumps, but Black Ops III takes it up a notch. Running on walls and jet-packing through open windows is too much fun. When these are combined with Black Ops‘ future tech inclination, it creates something that is difficult not to enjoy as it manages to scratch so many itches with its incredibly smooth gameplay.Īfter the release of Titanfall, many players just couldn’t go back to any plain old run-n-gun action. Titanfall‘s slick movement, Destiny’s special abilities, Advanced Warfare‘s augmentations, and a few more interesting elements add some much needed spice to the genre.

Treyarch, the developers of the Black Ops franchise, have had the opportunity to see what other games have introduced to the FPS genre.
