Call of Duty fans have delivered their verdict regarding Activision's decision to remove slide cancel in Warzone 2, and the result does not go in the developer's favor. Some days ago, the popular Call of Duty news handle ModernWarzone created a poll on Twitter stating,

"Are you happy Call of Duty and Warzone removed slide cancelling this year?"

Almost 45,000 users participated in the poll, and 64% were not happy with the decision made by the developers. While the advance movement mechanism had been controversial for a long time, some fans criticized the 64% who did not like Activision's decision. Here is what the community has to say about the situation. Here is what the community has a say about the situation.


Warzone 2 fans are still divided on the removal of slide cancel after almost a year of its release

Slide canceling began as an exploitation by some pro players in 2020 but soon became popular among regular Call of Duty players. Over time, it created a skill gap between the more casual players and those always looking for the win. The release of Warzone in the same year only added fuel to the fire.

However, due to its repeated usage, the skill gap expanded rapidly. Finally, in 2022, the developers removed the mechanism by releasing a new engine in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.

However, the community did not like the decision, and the recent verdict clearly shows they are not over it. A user named ww criticized the ones who voted for yes and stated they would be happy with anything Call of Duty has to offer.

Another user named OS BENZO pointed out that the slide canceling was a broken mechanism and "was never intended to be used in the way that it was."

A user named The Neusance pointed out that the main issue resides elsewhere. The developers removed a movement mechanism but did not replace it with anything else in Warzone 2. Furthermore, sliding has no meaningful contribution to Call of Duty anymore.

While the voting result clearly shows a winning side, the comment thread on the Twitter post suggests that the community is still divided. With a new game coming this year, fans only hope Call of Duty will listen to the community and do justice this time.
