Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 (2026) reportedly dropping Omnimovement

For those who don't know, Omnimovement in Call of Duty refers to the ability for players to sprint, slide, dive, and move in almost any direction with much more freedom. It was introduced properly in Modern Warfare 3 in 2023, allowing smoother movement and helping in fast-paced combat. This mechanic has been praised by many gamers, and removing it could be a risky move.

While the reason has not been officially confirmed, it could be because Omnimovement raises concerns about balancing issues. While a majority of the players like it, some suggest that fights are decided more by movement tricks than actual aim or strategy. Thus, the developers could be looking to bring a more grounded and tactical feel back to the game.

For now, it's important to note that there is no official release date or confirmation regarding Call of Duty 2026. Since the game is still likely in development, there is a chance that Omnimovement could still return later. Currently, the developers could simply be experimenting with other mechanics and working on other important aspects of the title.
