Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 features frenetic multiplayer mode without wall running

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will have a frenetic multiplayer mode that will be the main part of this year’s Call of Duty game, according to Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia. But in a press briefing, Treyarch also revealed a couple of decisions that may prove controversial.

The multiplayer mode won’t have an ability to run on walls, nor will it have “thrust jumps,” or a superhuman ability to jump to the top of buildings thanks to exoskeleton technology. That may have to do with the bad reaction that players had to Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare in 2016, which took the Call of Duty universe into the science fiction realm.
