The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta is underway, with new Omni-movement options that fans are quickly mastering.
Activision’s Treyarch and Raven Software have introduced more acrobatic movement to the game, set to debut on October 25. The closed beta preview started yesterday for pre-order customers, with an open beta scheduled from September 6 to September 9. The gameplay was showcased at the recent Call of Duty Next event in Washington, D.C.
I’ve had the chance to experience multiplayer combat in the game, and while I’m still learning the nuances of Omni-movement, I’m excited by the gameplay. The tutorial provided in the beta has been helpful in improving my skills.
Maps like Derelict and Skyline have been engaging, particularly in modes like Hardpoint, Domination, and Team Deathmatch.
