Treyarch are on the case, though

Although new mechanicssuch as sprays and emoteshave only just been added to Activision’s latest blockbusterCall of Duty: Black Ops 4, it hasn’t taken long for wily players to figure out a way to exploit them for nefarious needs.

As exemplified in this clip, posted on Reddit,Black Ops 4players quickly realised that, because the camera pulls out into third-person for the duration of an emote,this can give you a quick opportunity to freely control the cameraand check out your surroundings, including round corners and over walls.

Developer Treyarch are aware of the problem and are working on an update to lock the emote camera to first-person once engaged in battle. So ,if you want to see yourself, pulling off a fist-bump, taking a knee, or busting a sweet two-step, you might have to wait until you’re back in the lobby.
