Call of Duty: Black Ops III
Swimming returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops III multiplayer and in the Zombies map Zetsubou No Shima, with much more freedom than before. The player can swim on the surface or underwater, and may aim and fire any weapon, even when underwater. Equipment, such as grenades, may be used or thrown underwater, although the velocity will be much reduced. Depth is controlled using the jump and crouch buttons. Players will gradually take damage if they stay underwater too long. In multiplayer, holding down the jump button underwater will allow the player to Thrust Jump directly out of the water. Players can "sprint" underwater to swim faster, though, like sprinting, this will lower their weapon.
