Slide-canceling is back, and here's how you can perform this movement for yourself.

By S.E. Doster on

Modern Warfare 3 brings back Call of Duty's slide-canceling movement. This is an advanced movement used by high-skilled players to slide and avoid enemy fire, essentially throwing off their opponents' aim and making themselves hard to track. While the movement doesn't feel quite as overpowered and broken as it did in Modern Warfare 2019, it's still a powerful movement mechanic to utilize. If you are looking for how to perform this sweaty movement for yourself, our guide will help you out.

Similar to the original version of slide-canceling in previous games, to slide cancel in Modern Warfare 3 you'll want to rapidly press the crouch button twice and jump while sprinting with your designated thumbstick or button. The rapid combination of the three inputs will create the slide movement and then quickly cancel the animation, resulting in more fluid movement that is challenging for your enemies to track you.
