But what\u2019s the point exactly, and when\u2019s the best time to use it?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is tactical stance in CoD MW3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The tactical stance is <strong>a move in which the weapon is slightly slanted<\/strong>, and it\u2019s especially useful in aggressive plays.<\/p>\n<p>This is because it\u2019s a stance that\u2019s somewhere between shooting from the hip and using the regular sight aim. So if you find yourself too close to your enemies to get into the aim, and too far to melee, the tactical stance is your best friend.<\/p>\n<p>The speed of the sights is increased in the stance, too, as is the spread of bullets.<\/p> <h2><strong> How to use CoD MW3 tactical stance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>First, make sure the stance is activated in the gameplay settings! While you\u2019re in the settings, you\u2019ll also be able to adjust the Tactical Stance Behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve made sure it\u2019s activated, you\u2019ll have an option of two button commands to use the tac-stance: aim and melee, or aim and down. It might be worth trying both of these out in the game, and finding out which one works best for you.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re sliding, however, you\u2019ll tac-stance by default \u2013 so no need to press anything, just shoot!<\/p> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6340295100112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <p><strong>Listen to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/one-more-life-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One More Life podcast<\/a>, subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free newsletter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">follow us on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest gaming intel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
