How to Slide Cancel in Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2

Activision has introduced a variety of movement to Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, including dolphin diving, swimming, and ledge-hanging while removing slide cancel. And although slide canceling has been nerfed, it is still possible to do in the game if you try.

Slide canceling lets you move faster than other players and dodge bullets during gunfights. Activision changed it to make it less effective in Warzone 2 by making it slower compared to Call of Duty: Warzone and Vanguard, aiming to discourage players from taking advantage of it.

Though you won’t gain a significant advantage over other players by performing a slide cancel in Warzone 2, it can still be useful in a fast-paced shooter like this one, where every second counts. But keep in mind that it’s not a straightforward action, and you’ll need to practice a lot before you master it.
