A new mechanic called ‘Omnimovement’ will also be added into the game.

Veteran COD players may be excited for this welcome return—making a comeback from past iterations is the traditional score streak system, which the most recent Black Ops, Cold War, deviated from. Scores will now again reset when the player is knocked out from combat. Another interesting addition to the game is the dedicated melee weapon slot, which eliminates the need to give up a secondary weapon to hold a knife, a feature that Scronce shared that the Treyarch team is excited for.
