As the new update for Modern Warfare 3 has been released, numerous fan-requested changes have also been accommodated in this update for multiplayer, Zombies, and overall gameplay mechanics.
The Zombies and Multiplayer mode of the game in particular features a variety of new weapons, operators, and gear.
Addressing the community concerns about the tac-sprint delay, armoury unlocks, and camo challenges not working in Zombies, the update prominently highlights a decreased Tac Sprint delay after sliding.
Initially, some players had confused this glitch to be a design choice by the dev team. However, the developer assured the gaming community that a change was being made. And that fix is finally here, so let’s see what’s different.
In an official announcement, Sledgehammer Games, the developer said, “At Launch, we introduced a delay after sliding to the Tac Sprint refresh time.” Being considerate of the player feedback, in this update the developer improved the movement fluidity without making slide and Tac Sprint repetition the only viable choice for Players.
