What is Tactical Stance in Modern Warfare 3?

According to Sledgehammer Games through a Twitter post, Tactical Stance balances mobility and accuracy in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. The new Stance can be toggled on at any time during matches and is designed to improve maneuvering and an aggressive playstyle.

Check out the confirmation for yourself in the Sledgehammer Games post below.

Activision explains Tactical Stance further on the Call of Duty website, explaining how it is the perfect middle ground between hip-fire and aiming down sights. Tac-stance will be crucial for players entering cramped hallways and small rooms, helping to clear opponents in the path.

Tactical Stance does have a downfall, where it trades precise accuracy for improved mobility and handling. It has the potential to be more challenging for new players to land shots when using Tactical Stance, but it should be an excellent tool for veterans at the game.
