Mastering movement and positioning is essential for gaining a competitive edge. Effective techniques include 'jump shotting' (jumping while firing) to clear cover or disrupt headshot aim, and 'drop shotting' (going prone while firing) to shrink your hitbox mid-engagement. While these are common shooter tactics, Black Ops II places a high priority on map knowledge—specifically mastering mantling shortcuts and parkour routes to bypass traditional chokepoints. Practice using head glitches (using cover so only your head is visible) and shoulder peeking to gather information without fully exposing your player model to enemy fire.
