Modern Warfare 2 brings big changes to the movement: CoD-Pro explains the innovations

Modern Warfare 2 is slated for release in October this year. The new game from Activision probably brings some innovations in the movement.

Santa Monica – Modern Warfare 2 is a highly anticipated game for fans of the series. In order to stand out from its predecessor, the “Call of Duty” offshoot gets some innovations in the movement. The changes should affect both the main game Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. The CoD Pro Swagg was allowed to lend a hand to the game even before the official release. In a stream he now revealed the changes to the movement in Infinity Ward’s first-person shooter.

How to play Modern Warfare 2: In addition to various leaks about Modern Warfare 2, a CoD Pro is now also speaking up. Faze Clan member Swagg had the chance to test Modern Warfare 2 ahead of its official launch on October 28, 2022. Within a video with fellow Faze Santana, the streamer reveals: “I’ve played Modern Warfare 2 and it feels just like Modern Warfare 2019”. But apparently not everything in the gameplay has stayed the same, because the CoD-Pro has noticed a few changes in the movement. Swagg talks about the changes in Modern Warfare 2 at the end of the video (07:13 minutes).

Dolphin Dive is introduced: A new feature in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 is the introduction of the Dolphin Dive. This is a movement mechanic in which the player can move very quickly to the ground. This feature was previously available in Call of Duty: Black Ops, Black Ops 2, Call of Duty Online and Call of Duty WWII. In Warzone, however, players have so far been denied this mechanic. However, according to Swagg, that appears to be about to change.

Slide canceling in Modern Warfare 2: Another big change could be slide canceling. Because when Santana asks his colleague whether it will still be possible to cancel slides in the sequel to Modern Warfare, he reacts a little reluctantly. “Not the way you think”. However, he does not tell his fans exactly what Swagg means by his statement. But it has been rumored for a long time that Infinity Ward might even remove Slide Cancel from the game entirely.

This is Slide Cancel: With this movement mechanic, the slide is combined with the tactical sprint. This will drastically increase the player’s movement speed. Also, a target that slide cancels can be hit significantly harder than a player who is running normally. Especially in Warzone, canceling the slide was one of the most popular features in the game. You will find a comprehensive guide to movement and the slide cancel in Warzone. Almost every player has moved across the map with this trick. However, players in Modern Warfare 2 no longer want to see other mechanics such as “Bloom”.

New mechanics in Modern Warfare 2: Swagg remains excited to see what other movement changes will be coming to Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. Because the slide cancellation was only really known by Warzone, before that the mechanics of Call of Duty fans were hardly used. So Warzone 2 may bring new mechanics that will completely redesign the gameplay.
