Activision has officially announced the modernized remake of its classic title, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. As part of its development plan, the game will feature the return of the slide-cancelling mechanics. Sliding is a maneuver that has been used in first-person shooters since at least 2004, allowing players to quickly move close to enemies and dodge bullets. In Modern Warfare 3 however, players will now be able to cancel their slides midair with a quick jump mechanic.
The official announcement of the new feature was made during a panel at the Game Developers Conference in March. Developers explained that this new mechanic allows players to quickly move away from danger while still keeping their gun trained on an enemy. This could be a particularly useful strategy in close-quarters combat, as the player can be one step ahead of enemies by quickly switching direction while maintaining aim.
The slide-cancelling mechanic also adds greater tension to the game. By increasing the potential for surprise attacks, the Battlefield becomes chaotic as players must be constantly vigilant for sudden movements.
Developers also noted that game balance will be maintained through the use of an elegant system that rewards skilled players while making it hard for them to exploit the feature. The game will include a range of customizable options such as different speeds and acceleration rates that can be adjusted according to the user’s preference.
This new feature is just one of many changes that have been made to the beloved title. Modern Warfare 3 is sure to bring thrills and surprises with its many upgraded features that will surely make it an eagerly anticipated game when it launches.
