There is no doubt that Call of Duty Black Ops 7 has to be one of the most exciting announcements at the recently concluded Xbox Games Showcase 2025. This announcement trailer also confirmed the return of David Mason, face of the Black Ops series.
However, the hottest topic regarding this upcoming CoD title is surely its movement mechanics. Black Ops 6 stunned everybody with its never-seen-ever movement scheme called Omni-movement. Now, the successor is believed to do the same, but will it bring back one iconic maneuver technique from the past?
Call of Duty Black Ops 7 won't have wall-running
Activision has recently stated that Call of Duty Black Ops 7 won't feature wall-running or jetpacks. This has been confirmed by the senior director of communications at Activision herself, Stephanie Snowden, in a new episode of COD Pod.

Wall-running is something we prevalently saw in older CoD titles like Black Ops 3, Advanced Warfare, and others. We have seen how the Omni-movement divided the CoD community in two halves. Some players found it pretty awesome, whereas a large chunk of the fanbase felt it killed the original Call of Duty vibe by prioritizing movement over gunplay. But before this wall-running was the most talked-about movement mechanism in this franchise.

Now, Omni-movement will likely be featured in Black Ops 7 as well. That is why fans also thought wall-running might make a return as well, keeping in mind its capability to sync with the Omni-movement.
Not only that,
there were even prominent leaks all around the internet
when players started wall-running in Black Ops 6, which actually wasn't even a part of the game. Many people thought Activision might have added this feature in BO6 to try it out so that it can be added in BO7. But that's not the case.
Snowden also confirmed that despite being released right after Black Ops 6, the upcoming title is set 30 years before Black Ops 3. After hearing this, the omission of wall-running makes a lot of sense as BO3 actually featured it. However, there has been several rumors from credible industry insiders that despite the absence of wall-running, Black Ops 7 might feature wall-jumping.

Priyanka Chopra's mom Madhu Chopra opens up about her daughter's marriage to Nick Jonas and life as Malti Marie's grandmother: ‘I'm just very glad they let me in'
Priyanka Chopra 's mother, Dr. Madhu Chopra , recently shared heartwarming insights into her daughter's marriage with Nick Jonas and her own cherished role as grandmother to Malti Marie. In a recent chat with actress Debina Bonnerjee, the proud nani spoke about family dynamics, respecting parenting boundaries, and the special bond she shares with her granddaughter. 'Priyanka is an adult, her decisions are always well thought-out' Talking about Priyanka's decision to marry American singer and actor Nick Jonas, Madhu Chopra said the family always had faith in her daughter's judgment. 'Priyanka is now an adult. Nobody can touch her. In the family too, we think her decisions are right. We have supported her since she was a child. She takes every decision with a clear mind,' Madhu shared. She added, 'We never had a doubt that Priyanka is making a mistake. She is not impulsive. She knows that the consequences are hers. It's a good thing that she got married to Nick. I am very happy about that.' 'Becoming a nani is the best promotion in life' When asked how she feels about being a grandmother, Madhu lit up with joy: 'The best promotion in life is that — to become a nani. I love it.' She expressed her gratitude for being involved in Malti Marie's upbringing, saying, 'I thank God every day that the children are keeping me involved in their lives. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologist: Throw This Bedroom Item Away (Here's Why) Blissy Learn More Undo Many nuclear families don't want grandparents around, thinking they'll interfere. But my children include me with a lot of love.' 'Grandparents are the rule-breakers, and that's needed' Madhu reflected on the unique role grandparents play in a child's life. 'Children need a little time to cheat — they need rule breakers. That's what grandparents are for,' she said with a smile. She admitted that while parents set the rules, grandparents are often the ones who bend them — lovingly, of course. 'We maintain our boundaries. It's the parents' right to raise their child their way. I had my time to raise my children. Now, I'm just here to offer support, warmth and security.' Priyanka's Heartfelt Birthday Post For Her Mother Madhu Chopra 'Children raised by grandparents are more secure' Discussing the bridge between traditional upbringing and modern parenting, Madhu said, 'It happens with the heart and the mind. The heart makes mistakes, the mind corrects them.' She stressed the value of having elders in the home: 'Children raised by grandparents are more secure and grounded. Parents today are career-driven — they give quality time, but someone needs to be around for the child's comfort.' She added, 'It's the cycle of life. If we do good, we get to be part of our grandchildren's lives. I'm just very glad they let me in.'

Incubation Nation: Where ideas reign and entrepreneurs rule
Jaipur: Rajasthan has over 6,165 startups registered with the Department of Information Technology and Communication (DOITC), many of them getting a leg-up through incubation centres mushrooming across the state. The incubation centres—established by govt, private institutions and universities, are contributing to strengthening the state's startup ecosystem. Additional director, DOITC, Tapan Kumar, said, "Our vision through initiatives like iSTART is to transform Rajasthan into a fertile ground for entrepreneurship. We're supporting startups with structured mentoring, seed funding, incubation centres, and access to a wider market. The state is not just creating jobs, it's creating job creators." Of 4,356 approved registered startups, 828 have already been funded with a disbursal of Rs 40.95 crore. The growth has been inclusive in nature, with 2,194 women-led startups breaking stereotypes and building legacies. \The ecosystem also nurtures 139 graduate-run ventures and 109 startups led by students, signalling that innovation is being seeded at the academic level and harvested early. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Godrej Majesty | Luxurious 3 & 4 BHK Homes at ₹2.39 Cr* Godrej Majesty Learn More Undo Together, these ventures have created nearly 40,000 jobs and attracted Rs 1,005.42 crore in investments. Some examples of home grown startups from Rajasthan include skincare brand Minimalist, DealShare, and e-commerce platform Frontier Market, all of who received early-stage support under the iSTART scheme and unicorns in the making. "We built our first drone prototype using the 3D printer at the incubation centre and tested flight simulations with their VR setup. The mentorship we received helped us avoid early-stage mistakes, and the Rs 5 lakh seed grant gave us the boost we needed to take off," said Nitiman Mathur from Kapexa. "I'm not from a tech background, but with their support, I was able to build my startup's website and app from scratch—even without any technical knowledge," shared Saurabh from KishanBill Agritech. Universities: The Silent Accelerators The unsung hero of Rajasthan's startup success story is its university ecosystem. From Jaipur to Udaipur, institutions are offering co-working spaces, seed grants, mentorship, and technical support—often at negligible costs. "Universities are the earliest touchpoint for entrepreneurial ambition. By offering support with minimal barriers, we're helping students dream bigger and execute faster," said Mahavir Pratap Sharma, startup mentor and key ecosystem enabler. Private incubation centres are also conducting regular mentoring sessions, offering legal and technical hand holding, and connecting startups to industry experts and venture capitalists, making innovation accessible by lowering infrastructure and advisory costs, and raise capital through angel networks, internal grants, and pitch events on campuses and startup conclaves. From students in Tier-2 towns launching tech apps to women entrepreneur starting sustainable brands, Rajasthan's startup ecosystem is proving geography is no barrier when vision meets support, and redefining the state's identity as a land of kings to a land of creators.

India hits new high in QS rankings with 54 entrants
India is the fastest-growing higher education system among the G20 NEW DELHI: India has recorded its strongest presence yet in the QS World University Rankings 2026, with 54 institutions making it to the list - a significant jump from 46 in 2025 and 45 in 2024. This 390% increase from just 11 ranked universities in 2014 makes India the fastest-growing higher education system among G20 countries and the fourth most represented nation in the rankings, behind only the US, UK, and China. At the top of the Indian pack is Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, which climbed to a joint 123rd position (alongside Georgia Institute of Technology, US) - its best-ever showing. In 2025 and 2024, the institute stood at 150 and 197, respectively. This steady rise is backed by strong scores in Employer Reputation (50th globally), Citations per Faculty (86th), and Academic Reputation (142nd), highlighting its growing stature. While IIT Bombay slipped to 129th this year from its all-time best rank of 118 in 2025, it remains in the global top 130 and continues to score highly on Employer Reputation, ranking 39th in that indicator. IIT Madras recorded one of the most dramatic improvements in 2026 - leaping 47 places to reach the 180th spot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo This is the first time it has entered the global top 200. Other top-performing Indian institutions include IIT Kharagpur (215), IISc Bangalore (219), and IIT Kanpur (222). Among non-IITs, Delhi University (328) and Anna University (465) featured in the top 500. The inclusion of eight new Indian universities in the 2026 edition - more than any other country - signals a broader institutional momentum. However, India's rise has been uneven. Despite improvements in research strength and academic reputation, challenges remain in areas critical to internationalisation. The International Students Ratio remains a key concern, with 78% of Indian universities seeing a decline in this indicator. No Indian institution ranks in the top 500 for attracting international students, which affects diversity and global exposure on campuses. Similarly, the Faculty-Student Ratio presents a structural bottleneck. OP Jindal Global University is the only Indian university in the global top 350 for this metric. Moreover, as against 12 Indian universities in top 500 in 2025, there's one less in the latest rankings. Globally, Massachusetts Institute of Technology topped the rankings for the 14th straight year, followed by Imperial College London (2nd), Stanford University (3rd), University of Oxford (4th), & Harvard University (5th).
