“It Feels Perfect to Be Honest”: Fans Have Mixed Reactions to the Latest Movement Update in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has brought back an old feature from the Call of Duty franchise. Well, post the first week of the beta run, the developers have already started to show some improvements in the gameplay catering to the fan demand. In one such similar episode, gamers have spotted an impressive difference between this famous feature’s reintroduction a rework in the second week. But the new update has rather left the fans divided! 

Following the patterns of previous big Call of Duty releases, Modern Warfare 3 marked its arrival for a beta test run on PlayStation for the first week. While a lot of fans couldn’t get over the interesting innovations made in the upcoming installment, a few criticized the game for some of its features. Among all these callouts, one major feature was addressed and improved a few hours ago. Is the update worth it? 

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 reworks on slide-cancel feature 

In Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, Sledgehammer Games completely redesigned the movement. Operators have the ability to fire while sliding and right away after it, recharge tactical sprint while running, mantle more quickly, and extend tactical sprint. Additionally, slide canceling was back, but not exactly how the fans remembered it. Following a lot of backlash from the slide-cancel delay, the developers seem to have finally given a shot at fixing the issue. Here’s a glimpse of the difference between the features before and after the update.

Players could keep moving at their top pace after slipping when slide canceling first appeared. After doing a slide, it was feasible to keep sprinting after completing it successfully. The animation, however, no longer reset a tactical sprint in MW3, causing a small delay. While this latest update claims to address the issue, CoD fanatics are still not convinced with the salability of the movement.
