Call of Duty titles often feature numerous mechanics to master to gain the upper hand over the opposition. For 2023, there are plenty of Modern Warfare 3 movement changes on their way in a bid to increase the pace of play throughout a Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer match.
Ranging from Tac Stance to a host of adjustments to mechanics from previous releases, there's a strong possibility movement mechanics will be just as important as mastering the extensive gun list and new Perk system.

Slide cancelling was first featured in 2019's Modern Warfare and quickly became a staple mechanic. Infinity Ward opted to remove it in Modern Warfare 2 but Sledgehammer Games has decided it should return.
All of the Modern Warfare 3 movement changes are designed to improve the "general responsiveness" of your in-game Operator. Let's hope the increase in pace creates plenty of high-octane action in the beta when players load into the game for the very first time.
