Treyarch details MP alterations.
Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer will be different to Modern Warfare 2. How? There won’t be any drop-shotting. Instead, you’ll be diving to prone.
“Another [change] is this whole new core movement mechanic called diving to prone. It’s something that we found was very interesting; it’s used best for evasive defensive manoeuvres, but we needed to make sure we balanced that because we understand that drop-shotting is frustrating for some people,” community manager Josh Olin told Inside Xbox.
“So we wanted to make sure that this thing wasn’t going to be used aggressively to grief – to frustrate players. There is a sort of a recovery time after you land and you’ll have to take a half-second to pull your gun back up, so it’s actually a penalty if you try to use it as an offensive manoeuvre.”
