players are having a blast with the games new mode, ****** Ops Classic. The new mode was released today as part of the game's Season 4 update and brings some radical changes to the gameplay of ****** Ops 7. The new limited-time mode strips out omnimovement, sliding, and simplifies the overall gameplay experience to be more akin to classic ****** Ops games like ****** Ops 1 and 2. Players also can't use things like stims, an equippable that lets you immediately heal mid-battle.

"We wanted to get as close to a classic movement set (****** Ops 2 as a target) as we could, so Omnimovement, Wall Jump, and Slide are restricted in ****** Ops Classic along with some additional feature restrictions," said ****** Ops 7 design director

.

The mode also limits players to maps from classic ****** Ops titles, including Firing Range, Summit, Raid, Nuketown, and more. It's by all intents and purposes ****** Ops as you remember it, save for some changes to the visuals and different weapons.

So far, players seem to be really enjoying the old-school throwback.

Some are noting that the changes are so radical they're having a hard time adjusting to them, because they're so used to the controls of modern Call of Duty. As of right now, it remains to be seen whether or not this will actually drive players to the game. The mode comes eight months after ****** Ops 7's initial launch, and four months before the release of Modern Warfare 4 – which may mean it's too little, too late for some players who bounced off the game in its earliest days.

The movement of ****** Ops 7 has been a hot topic since its arrival, with some feeling like omnimovement and wall jumping overcomplicates the gameplay. More traditional movement, however, focuses on a player's gun skills rather than their ability to dodge bullets by moving around like a lunatic.

Even if this mode doesn't change the tides for ****** Ops 7, the future is looking bright. We recently went

and had plenty of glowing things to say about it. Modern Warfare 4 won't feature omnimovement, and will instead focus on fluid but more grounded movement.
