MW3: What is Tac-Stance?
The worldwide reveal blog post for MW3 included the introduction of Tac-Stance, a feature that provides a tighter bullet spread than normal hip firing and quicker mobility than ADS.
Tac-Stance is described as the “perfect middle-ground between hip-fire and aiming down sights,” and players might find this familiar. When sliding and shooting, Tac-Stance is automatically used, so mastering it in regular combat situations might require some practice.
Sledgehammer Games have also described it as a “balance between mobility and accuracy, allowing for evasive maneuvers and aggressive engagements.” It could be a must-have in every MW3 player’s skill set when taking on the upcoming Ranked Plays.
