Slide Cancelling removed from Modern Warfare 2
In a recent Reddit post, u/camanimal referenced FaZe Swagg and Zooma’s claim that slide canceling might have been scrapped from MW2. The user’s claim supports the community’s concerns as most players are unsatisfied with slide canceling.
The user also pointed out how slide canceling abuses cameraing to get an illegal advantage due to CoD’s poor net codes. However, slide canceling’s absence will create a slower gameplay environment making pre-aiming dominant and, in turn, punishing rush playstyles.
The majority of the comments in the thread seem to agree with the author, as they think slide canceling going away will make the game fresher and encourage intelligent plays in the long run.
