In the upcoming Modern Warfare 3, Sledgehammer Games, the developers, made some big promises about improving gameplay based on community feedback. They brought back the classic mini-map, adjusted the Time To Kill (TTK) speed, and empowered players to vote on maps. Additionally, they introduced significant movement changes, including the return of slide and reload canceling, along with faster movement speed.
One of the standout improvements that caught the community's attention was the increased speed of mantling, a feature that allows players to climb obstacles. This enhancement was showcased in the preview of a Highrise map remake from Modern Warfare 2. Players were seen sprinting around the map and nimbly maneuvering to previously inaccessible spots.
The community responded positively, with one fan expressing gratitude for the faster movement and mantling. Sledgehammer Games, in turn, assured them that the actual gameplay feels even better than what was shown.
Others echoed the excitement, with one user eagerly anticipating how aiming down sights and transitioning from sprinting to firing would perform.
While the improved movement was well-received, some players expressed cautious optimism about adapting to the new mantling mechanics, especially for those who were fans of the original Modern Warfare 2.
The full scope of these changes will be experienced for the first time in action at the Call of Duty Next event.
