In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, a lot of time is spent figuring out the novel movement system. This makes sense, omni-move is a major addition to the game that offers a lot of skill expression, not to mention being a lot of fun. But with the good comes the bad, and it looks like the infamous move technique is back and better than ever.
This technique squirms. Snooping is the act of quickly switching from a crouched position to a lying position behind cover, which allows you to see from behind cover without exposing yourself to fire. He was already powerful in the previous Call of Duties, but given the extra mobility of omni-motion, you can move at surprising speeds while swinging.

You can see this technique in action below, courtesy of Twitter user The Rotation. They published a miniature gameplay fragment showing the score 1:1 between the two players. The point of view we get is of the victim who cannot see the other player. Meanwhile, as seen on the kill cam, a player sneaking behind cover has a clear view of the opponent and can quickly take a shot the moment they leave cover.

Snagging has proven so problematic in the past that it has had an impact on the professional game. At the end of 2023, the CDL (Call of Duty league) decided to immediately restrict this technique (thanks esports.net) This was done through a “gentlemen’s agreement” because the snake ban is actually quite complex to enforce. Was this player going crazy? Or did they just stay mobile behind cover? Were they lucky? Did they do it by accident? This is a complex call. However, there is freedom in Blops 6 multiplayer matches, so take advantage of it as much as you want.
