Call of Duty 2026 aka Modern Warfare 4 is reportedly scrapping the most controversial feature of Black Ops 6
It's 2025 and people have already started speculating about
Call of Duty 2026
. As this franchise has been following a yearly release model since 2005, fans can expect a title in 2026 for sure. We are yet to get any solid news regarding CoD 2025, but rumors are at its peak for CoD 2026.
There has been no confirmation regarding this title, per rumors suggest that 2026 CoD title is going to be a sequel of Modern Warfare III, unlike CoD 2025, which is set in the Black Ops universe. Amidst all the rumors, there has been a new one which claims that in 2026, Activison might get rid of the feature, for which it faced huge criticism in Black Ops 6.
Rumor: There might be no Omni-movement in Call of Duty 2026
Black Ops 6 set a new tone for the Call of Duty franchise. Developers already promised before the release of the game that BO6 was going to mark the beginning of a new chapter for the long-hailed series. And this new beginning started with the introduction of a new movement mechanics called Omni-movement. With this movement mechanics, you can slide in any direction you want, even backwards.

However, tables turned over everyone's head after the release of the game as Black Ops 6 faced huge backlash initially. And center of all the criticisms was this new movement scheme. Fans didn't like this new maneuver system at all. Treyarch later on fixed all the persisting issues in the game and Black Ops 6 went on to become one of the best games in the series. But people still rant about Omni-movement.
Now there's a new report from credible industry insider @TheGhostOfHope which states that Call of Duty 2026 aka
Modern Warfare 4
might not include Omni-movement anymore. However, this is not the final decision from Activision, as the developers might change their minds next year, when we get closer to the game. But for now, there is no plan to feature Omni-movement in 2026's title.
TheGhostOfHope also stated that there has been a leak a while ago which claimed Call of Duty 2026 (MW4) would have the same movement mechanics as Call of Duty 2025 (BO7). But after this report, that leak is no longer legit as well. However, there is a
rumor regarding CoD 2025 that might disappoint the fans
.
Now, what might be the probable reason for the Omni-movement being scrapped away from the future Call of Duty title? Frankly speaking, this was quite obvious. In the name of beginning a new chapter for the Call of Duty franchise, this new movement mechanics absolutely killed the familiar CoD vibe. After Omni-movement, the game became more about movements, rather than gun-fights.
As these are just rumors, this report should be taken with a grain of salt. We still don't have information about Call of Duty 2026, but if Activision gets rid of Omni-movement, then many fans are going to be relieved for sure.

Big believer in law of land, customer-centricity: Amazon India head on regulatory gaze over e-commerce platforms
Amid a growing regulatory scrutiny on online platforms, Amazon India head Samir Kumar has asserted that the e-commerce company is a "big believer" in customer-centricity and adherence to local laws, and is fully prepared to address any findings and ensure consumers remain well supported. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency The comment comes at a time when there is rising regulatory glare on online companies. The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) had issued an advisory to e-commerce platforms to conduct self-audits to detect 'dark patterns' and ensure they are swiftly eliminated. The self-declarations by the platforms will enable fair digital ecosystem along with building trust between consumers and e-commerce platforms, CCPA had said in June. On how the company views and responds to the regulatory scrutiny in the market, Kumar told PTI that Amazon has always prioritised customer focus. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Undo "So we have always believed that first of all, whatever we do, we should make sure that the customers love it. So that's my take on there will always be some of these things that will come our way in terms of making sure here are things that you should be doing, and we'll go and audit our systems and make sure we are doing all the right things," he said. Kumar added, "We have always believed that we put customers front and centre of everything, and when we see issues with our customer experience, we go and spend all our energy in fixing that, and we'll continue to do that in future." Live Events Asked if the company believes that the regulatory lens from authorities such as CCPA or CCI signal a vibrant, expanding market, Kumar emphasised that Amazon is firmly committed to abiding by the country's laws. "We are a big believer in complying with the law of the land, we have always made sure that wherever we operate, we operate in a compliant way. "So that way, whether it's Competition Commission or CCPA, all those bodies are making sure that Indian consumers are not hurt, and we are a big believer in making sure that we take care of our customers," he said. He emphasised that Amazon is fully prepared to address any findings and ensure customers remain well supported. "So I am more than happy to make sure that whatever the finding is, we address them and we take care of our customers," Kumar said. India is expected to be one of the biggest contributors to Amazon's growth in the long run, with the e-commerce giant doubling down on its focus in this market where it is pouring in billions of dollars in long-term investments. India is still not as deeply penetrated in terms of online consumption and therefore presents a "very large opportunity" for Amazon, according to Kumar - who is now helming operations here as Country Manager of Amazon India. Amazon has committed to significant investment in its India infrastructure, about Rs 2,000 crore for 2025 alone. It had previously outlined a broader investment pledge of USD 26 billion by 2030, close to about USD 15 billion of it between 2023 and 2030. Kumar said India is among the fastest growing markets for the company. "And we are a big believer that in the long run, India will be one of the biggest contributors to our growth," Kumar said but did not give a timeframe. India is still not deeply penetrated in terms of consumption, he said, adding while users are online, buying products and watching videos there is a huge headroom for growth when it comes to online shoppers. "...not everyone is shopping online. If you look at just mobile phone penetration, maybe it's in close to a billion people who have mobile phones, but only 100 million plus of them are shopping online. So the next 200 million (that the company is aspiring to reach) are going to be part of that," he said. Kumar believes that as the economy grows, and so does consumption, and as GDP per capita rises, India is poised to have "many more consumers who will value the convenience of shopping online". "We have seen this phenomenon around the world. So we have a very large opportunity still remaining in India... We have 1.4 billion people," he said. The company has set its sights on what Kumar describes as a broader 'Bharat' living in tier 2, 3 cities and beyond. "Let's take a good chunk of that and make sure that they are able to come online, shop online, get the best value, and get the fastest delivery possible. And with that, I believe there's a big opportunity. So beyond the tier one cities, there's a huge opportunity in 'Bharat', which is like tier 2, 3 cities, where we are seeing very deep penetration now starting to happen," he said.

'War 2' box office collection day 4 (Live): The Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, Kiara Advani starrer crosses the Rs. 150 crore mark, while Rajinikanth's ‘Coolie' closes in on the Rs. 170 crore on Sunday
Three powerhouse performers of the Indian entertainment industry joined hands for one of the biggest spy thrillers of 2025 - 'War 2'. With the star power of Hrithik Roshan , Jr NTR , and Kiara Advani , the vision of director Ayaan Mukherji, and a gripping tale packed with high-octane action sequences, the movie became the talk of the town right from the word go. Released on August 14, the film did live up to the expectations with an impressive opening. However, after smashing collection on August 14 and 15, the movie's business slowed down. Yet, as we speak, the movie has crossed the Rs. 150 crore mark. 'War 2' box office collection day 4 update Released a day ahead of Indian Independence Day, 'War 2' opened with Rs 52 Cr across all languages in the domestic market, according to Sacnilk report. Released in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, the movie made Rs 29 Cr, Rs 0.25 Cr, and Rs 22.75 Cr, respectively. Thereafter, it benefited from the Independence Day festivities and earned Rs 57.35 Cr. If we break it down, then the film made Rs 44.5 Cr in Hindi, Rs 0.35 Cr in Tamil, and Rs 12.5 Cr in Telugu. However, from day 3, i.e., Saturday, the movies saw a drop in business. With a dip of more than 40 percent, it collected Rs. 33.25 Cr (rough data) across all languages. And on day 4 past noon, the movie has collected Rs. 8.89 Cr, taking the tally to Rs 151.58 Cr. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo Tough competition from Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' 'War 2' isn't the only big release that made it to the theatres this Friday; it clashed with Thalaviar's action drama 'Coolie.' Trade reports show that on the opening day, with the collection of Rs. 65 Cr, 'Coolie' outshone 'War 2,' but on day 2, the latter had the last laugh. Nevertheless, on Saturday, the tables turned one more time, and despite a drop of around 29 percent, it collected Rs. 38.6 Cr. As we speak, it is still leading the race, with a business of Rs. 9.91 crore on Sunday, day 4, bringing its total to Rs. 168.26 crore. 'War 2' Review 'Hrithik Roshan brings gravitas to the screen as the roguish yet poised Kabir. He impresses as a high-octane action hero and in the film's emotional moments. Junior NTR matches his energy and intensity, holding his own as a performer and in executing the action sequences. Kiara Advani makes her presence felt despite limited screen time, though the use of stunt doubles in an early fight scene is noticeable.
