In Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, Sledgehammer Games completely redesigned the movement. Operators have the ability to fire while sliding and right away after it, recharge tactical sprint while running, mantle more quickly, and extend tactical sprint. Additionally, slide canceling was back, but not exactly how the fans remembered it. Following a lot of backlash from the slide-cancel delay, the developers seem to have finally given a shot at fixing the issue. Here’s a glimpse of the difference between the features before and after the update.

Players could keep moving at their top pace after slipping when slide canceling first appeared. After doing a slide, it was feasible to keep sprinting after completing it successfully. The animation, however, no longer reset a tactical sprint in MW3, causing a small delay. While this latest update claims to address the issue, CoD fanatics are still not convinced with the salability of the movement.

Not all disagree with the update, some fans responded positively to the fixation as they look forward to more improvements in the movement.
It felt great last weekend, looks even better now.
Alternative to a delay would be like how XD does it, it requires a cooldown and each subsequent attempt reduces effectiveness.
