CoD MW3 tactical stance explained: How and why to use it

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of Call of Duty under my belt, I must say that the introduction of the tactical stance in Modern Warfare 3 was a game-changer. Having played since the early days, I can attest to the strategic advantages this move brings to the table.

Experiencing a major shift in gameplay mechanics after 17 years, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 unveiled the tactical stance. Here’s a breakdown on what it is and how to effectively utilize it: The CoD MW3 tactical stance explained and demonstrated for use.

If you’re a fan of Call of Duty, rest assured that this new feature is a worthwhile enhancement for the game, and it can be used if you wish, but it’s not mandatory.

If you haven’t jumped on the Call of Duty bandwagon yet, you can give it a spin with Call of Duty 6: Black Ops 6, free of charge, by subscribing to Xbox Game Pass.

But no matter, the tac-stance exists in the here and now, so let’s get to it!

What is tactical stance in CoD MW3?

In other words, the tac-stance refers to an action where the weapon is positioned slightly higher than hip-firing but not quite at the level of aiming down the sights. This position can be beneficial during aggressive gameplay scenarios.

If you’re in a position where you’re not quite close enough for a direct fight but also can’t aim properly due to being too far away, the tactical stance becomes your most useful tool. This stance allows you to fire shots faster and more accurately compared to regular hip-firing, giving you an edge in tricky situations.

The speed of the sights is increased in the stance, too, if you decide you need more accuracy.

How to use CoD MW3 tactical stance

To engage the tactical stance in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, simply point your gun at a target and then tap the left directional pad (D-Pad) or the letter ‘V’ key on your keyboard.

Before you can do this, make sure the stance is activated in the gameplay settings.

While in the settings, you’ll also be able to adjust the ‘tactical stance behaviour’.

After confirming that it’s been activated, you’ll be given a choice between two command buttons for using the tactical stance: one for aiming and melee, and another for aiming and going prone.

As a discerning gamer myself, I’d recommend giving both options a spin to determine which suits your gaming style most effectively. Happy gaming!
