This is the best worst idea in videogames I've seen in a very long time: Treyarch says Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will give players the ability to talk directly to the people they're holding hostage and using as meat shields.
The meat shield, for those not familiar with the maneuver, works like this: A bad guy is stunned or wounded but still on his feet, so you grab his shoulder, spin him around, put your arm across his throat, and march him forward into the gunfire that would otherwise turn you into a sticky mess. Here's a great example of the move from the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger flick Total Recall, which I will link but not embed because it's pretty bonkers in the way that only '90s action movies are. (I will also note that the guy in this case isn't so much bad as just really unlucky.)
