The Return of a Beloved Movement Technique in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

Oct 25, 2024 3:32 PM

The latest movement system in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has reintroduced an infamous technique known as "snaking," which allows players to switch quickly between crouched and prone positions behind cover. This method provides an advantage by allowing players to maintain vision on opponents while minimizing exposure to gunfire. The addition of omni-movement enhances the effectiveness of snaking, letting players execute the technique with astonishing speed. Players have shared gameplay snippets highlighting the power of this technique, and while it has been banned in previous competitive play, it remains legal in standard multiplayer matches. The community is left to ponder whether they will embrace or avoid this controversial movement method during their gaming sessions.

What is 'snaking' in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6?

Snaking is a movement technique that involves rapidly toggling between crouched and prone positions to gain visibility on opponents without being exposed to gunfire. This technique allows players to quickly shimmy behind cover, offering a strategic advantage in combat situations.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, continues the renowned franchise's legacy by introducing new features like the omni-movement system. The game builds on previous titles, emphasizing fast-paced action and strategic gameplay. Snaking, while previously controversial for its impact on competitive play, adds depth to the tactical options available to players in Black Ops 6, inviting both excitement and debate among the community.
