In 2023, Call of Duty released its third installment of the iconic Modern Warfare story by Infinity Ward. This time, we witness the thrilling adventures of Captain John Price, Sergeant John "Soap" Price, and the beloved character Lieutenant Simon Riley, known as "Ghost." Alongside the captivating conclusion to the narrative of Task Force 141, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 introduces exciting multiplayer mechanics and game modes, such as the intense 3v3v3 game Cutthroat. Notably, this installment also introduces the very first zombies mode in a Modern Warfare game.
Among the numerous changes in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, one of the most significant is the introduction of the Tac-Stance. This innovative feature revolutionizes the way players aim and handle their equipped weapons. By including the Tac-Stance, players now have a vast array of tactical options and play styles when facing enemies and pursuing objectives on the battlefield. Here's everything players need to know about this game-changing addition.
What is Tac-Stance?
The Tac-Stance feature allows players to switch to an alternate fire mode while aiming down sights with their weapons. By activating Tac-Stance, players can engage a focused hip-fire mode that enhances mobility and improves target acquisition at close range. When using Tac-Stance, players won't look through the traditional top rail sights of the weapon but instead utilize a slanted hold that optimizes the use of laser attachments. This enables players to quickly transition from actions like sprinting, sliding, or diving to aiming and shooting.
Moreover, Tac-Stance introduces a new set of advantages and disadvantages for weapon attachments. The spread and sprint to fire time of Tac-Stance can be customized with specific attachments, allowing players to strategize and create loadouts that defy the typical conventions. This means that long-range weapons can now be effective in close quarters combat. This enhanced version of canted optic or hybrid optic options will bring forth a whole new era of weapon customization and loadout tactics never seen before in a Call of Duty game. Players should make sure to prepare themselves before heading into battle.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is available in via early access starting November 2 on PC, Playstation, and Xbox. Its full release is scheduled for November 9.
