What is Tac-Stance?

Tac-Stance presents players with an alternative way to play Call of Duty by combining hip-fire and aiming down sights, offering a middle ground for those who like to engage in gunfights while on the move. Sledgehammer Games provided an official statement about this new mechanic, explaining:

"Tac-Stance balances mobility and accuracy, allowing for evasive maneuvers and aggressive engagements. It's available on most weapons, including those carried forward from #MW2, and can be dynamically toggled anytime during gameplay."

While many players have embraced this addition, not everyone is thrilled. Some players find the sideways-positioned weapon sights distracting, and others accidentally enter Tac-Stance when they don't intend to. For those who want a more traditional Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 experience without the influence of Tac-Stance, here's how to disable it.
