Button to Slide in Black Ops 3 Xbox One

Right, that's the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 campaign done. Did you get it? Nope? Don't worry, you're not the only ones. But you can forget all about the "frozen forest" and those dodgy DNI chips for now, it's time to get stuck into some multiplayer.

Faster and more agile than ever before, Black Ops 3's super soldiers can run along walls, jump, boost, swim, vault and slide through maps without breaking stride or sweat. Need help mastering the new moves and abilities? These tips will turn you into a stone cold killer in no time.

1. Put away that itchy trigger finger, start off in Freerun

Activision

Whoa there partner. You probably can't wait to jump into a map and start shooting everything that moves, but you'd be better served checking out Freerun first and mastering your new skills.

Freerun teaches you how to chain together different moves - running, sliding, swimming etc - before challenging you to bag the best time on an obstacle course. You'll be glad you did it when you win your first wall-run duel.

2. Mastered stealth moves? Let's use them

Activision

Once you've got the moves down, look for opportunities to use them to your advantage in the maps - either as a way to get the jump on your opponent, or to avoid getting killed.

Don't be a sitting duck for those snipers by casually running out into an open courtyard, try wall running around the side instead. See that second floor window? Forget the stairs, jump up and surprise whoever's waiting inside. Oh, if you do accidentally walk off the edge of the map, just double jump backwards to avoid death and spare yourself any blushes.

3. Choose your Specialist and skills wisely

Activision

The generic soldiers of past Call of Duty games are out, replaced by a new breed of charismatic Specialist soldiers with a variety of unique abilities. Choosing your Specialist is key to victory, and if you're new to the game, we'd recommend Battery, whose Kinetic Armour will deflect body shots.

Outrider's Vision Pulse, which reveals enemy locations within range, is a decent ability if you're a slightly slower and more methodical player, while Ruin's speed up ability and Prophet's Glitch - which takes you back to a previous location - are handy for escaping hairy situations.

4. Learn the art of killing in Team Deathmatch

Activision

You're not likely to get many kills if you're scratching your head trying to figure out the rules, so forget Uplink or Safeguard for the time being, master the art of killing by jumping into a Team Deathmatch or two.

It's a kill or be killed experience where the only objective is to rack up the most points, which makes it ideal for learning the maps and trying out those new skills. You'll certainly want to avoid something like Search & Destroy, where there are no respawns and no chance to build any momentum.

5. Move, move, move!

Activision

Speak to anyCall of Duty pro and they'll tell you that it's important to hit and run, not only to rack up more kills, but to avoid giving away your position on the map. This is especially important inBlack Ops 3, where the new movement system means that enemy soldiers can literally drop in from anywhere.

If you think about maps as having two or three tiers, then try moving upwards and downwards from area to area. Moving around will make you harder to kill, and coming in from different levels will surprise other players.

6. Don't be afraid to get a little wet

Activision

Forget what they say about swimming with the fishes in those old Mob movies, taking a dip in Black Ops 3 might just save your life.

You wouldn't necessarily realise it to look at them, but each pocket of water - no matter how small it seems - usually has tunnels that connect to multiple different areas. This makes them particularly handy for giving an enemy the shake, or for surprising a straggler.

7. Stay close to your teammates

Activision

Even thoughCall of Duty: Black Ops 3 is a team-based game, it's rare to see groups of casual players running in packs. But with all these new skills at your disposal, you'd do well to stick close to a higher level player when you start out.

Not only is there a good chance they'll protect you from getting shot - and you'll be more aware when danger's afoot - but you might just discover new routes through the maps and innovative new ways to use your skills.

Black Ops 3 is out now on PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
