What is Modern Warfare 3 Tac Stance?

Modern Warfare 3 Tac Stance is described as a compromise between hip-fire and aiming down sights. Sledgehammer Games has shed some light on how this particular movement mechanic behaves in the heat of battle:

• The operator unshoulders the weapon and holds it in a canted firing position.
• You can toggle in and out of Tac-Stance dynamically while aiming down sights.
• Tac-Stance trades precise accuracy for improved mobility and handling.
• Some spread to your firing will occur, best described as a middle ground between full ADS and hipfire.
• It is designed to be used in aggressive, close-quarter combat situations.
• By default, you fire in Tac-Stance while Sliding.
