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.
