Will Call of Duty Black Ops 7 have wall running?
Image via Activision. 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. Black Ops 7 Teaser Secrets EXPLAINED + BTS of How Finishing Moves are Really Made | COD POD Ep. 006 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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover the best investment opportunity. سالك Learn More Undo 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.

Why GTA 5's final mission and ending choice still haunt players in 2025
(Image via Rockstar Games) When GTA 5 dropped in 2013, it gave us something no GTA had done before: a choice. After dozens of hours playing as Michael, Franklin, and Trevor, the game hit us with a question we didn't see coming: Who dies? Even over a decade later, this one decision still messes with players. Let's break down why. Three Choices: Kill Trevor, Kill Michael, or Choose 'Deathwish'? By the time you hit the end of GTA V , Franklin's caught in the crossfire. The FIB and Devin Weston want loose ends tied up. That means taking out either Trevor (the wildcard) or Michael (the old friend/mentor). Or, you can go full chaos mode and take everyone else out instead. The 'Deathwish' option felt right, but Rockstar didn't make it easy. No matter what you picked, it wasn't clean. There was weight to it. GTA 5 Ending A – Kill Trevor (Get Gold in GTA 5 Something Sensible) Option A - Kill Trevor Choosing to kill Trevor was like putting down a wild animal. The dude was unhinged, unpredictable, and constantly dragged the crew into chaos. From torturing people to murdering without blinking, he was clearly the biggest threat. But here's the thing: Trevor was loyal . In his own twisted way, he cared. So when Franklin pulls the trigger (or lets him burn alive, no less), it feels like a betrayal of someone who, despite all his madness, never truly sold out. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo GTA V: Franklin Kills Michael (Optional) Option B - Kill Michael Michael was complicated. A washed-up criminal trying to fix his broken family, chasing movie dreams, and holding a dark secret from the past. Killing him feels wrong , but also understandable. He manipulated Franklin, used people to save himself, and let Brad die for nothing. Still, when you watch him fall off that tower—after everything you've been through together—it's cold . The scene leaves a weird silence. Like the game wants you to sit with the guilt. GTA V Ending - Choosing Option C: DEATHWISH Option C - Deathwish Let's be real: Deathwish is canon for a reason. It's chaotic, cinematic, and gives you that Avengers Assemble energy. Franklin says screw the FIB, saves both his friends, and together they take down every enemy—from Haines to Stretch. It's the wildest ride and gives each character their final moment of growth. Trevor gets his revenge. Michael finds redemption. Franklin takes control. Why It Hit So Hard Most GTA endings were pretty cut-and-dry. Kill the bad guy, fade to black. But GTA V made you feel something. Franklin's loyalty, Michael's trust, Trevor's insanity—it all came crashing down in one moment. You spent hours pulling heists, escaping the cops, and messing around in Los Santos. Then suddenly, you had to decide who lived. It wasn't just about them; it was about you . That emotional punch still lingers. And for many players, it'll never stop haunting them.

Brad Pitt talks about new film 'F1', shares reason behind his new buzz cut
Brad Pitt recently talked about his latest look at the New York City premiere of his new movie 'F1' and shared why he has brought back his iconic 2004 buzz cut, reported People "I just finished a job," Pitt teases. "It's for a character we did." Pitt completed his shaved head look on the red carpet with a navy blue double-breasted suit, a crisp white shirt and a satin pocket square. He was first spotted rocking the dramatic cut while driving around Los Angeles last month. Pitt was joined at the premiere by his girlfriend Ines de Ramon, and the couple made a rare appearance on the red carpet, reported People. De Ramon was seen in a sheer halter top and a long, feathered skirt. She accessorised the look with a white Chanel purse. Earlier, Pitt opened up about his favourite memories from filming the movie, in which he plays a Formula 1 driver called Sonny Hayes who is getting back in the driver's seat after nearly 30 years, reported People. "I got a lot," said Pitt, adding, "I got a lot, but every time I got in the car, these tracks are just like hallowed ground. Silverstone. The spa in Belgium was the most memorable. Abu Dhabi. We really got spoiled." The star also shared what it was like having to switch from driving at super high speeds in the movie to driving in everyday life, reported People. Brad Pitt Throws SHADE At Tom Cruise At 'F1' Premiere: 'He's Off His Meds' "There's a strange calm in the car when you're hitting everything," he says. "You're hitting your breaking points and hitting your turning points. It's such a piece. I can't even describe it. Yeah, it's incredible." According to an official synopsis, Pitt's character Hayes was Formula 1's "most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career." "Thirty years later, he's a nomadic racer-for-hire when he's approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes ( Javier Bardem ), owner of a struggling Formula 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to Formula for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world," the synopsis continues. "But as the engines roar, Sonny's past catches up with him and he finds that in Formula 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone," reported People. The film also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles and Samson Kayo, while Lewis Hamilton is one of the producers. 'F1' is in theatres on June 27.
