Call of Duty World Champion Scump has a very unpopular opinion about the mechanics that drive the gameplay of recent titles. In a recent Optic podcast on YouTube, Scump spoke about jumping and slide canceling mechanics in CoD titles and how, in his opinion, they reduced the skill level of the game.Hipfire Podcast@HipfirePClip of @scump confirming that the slide cancel is back like in MW, and also adds it's his year!#CallOfDutyBlackOpsColdWar #CoD11:23 AM · Sep 9, 20201Clip of @scump confirming that the slide cancel is back like in MW, and also adds it's his year!#CallOfDutyBlackOpsColdWar #CoD https://t.co/4rZrjZ0vNTFor those unaware, slide cancelation is a movement mechanic that has become popular since the 2019 Modern Warfare was released. Players cancel the slide mechanic midway to aim faster than their weapon's standard sprint to fire speed.This gives them an advantage while engaging in gunfights with enemies, retracting from gunfights if need be, and re-engaging from a better power position quickly.Chance@LastChanceFPSWarzone TikTokers in a nutshell:20-20 Sense Slide Canceling YYing 360's Weapon Inspecting Stims & Throwing Knives Unlock Tool The degenerates of the CoD playerbase... twitter.com/Counterforms_/…‎ً@Counterforms_What really ruined the perception of CoD is Warzone kids YYing and sliding everywhere for no reason on MW search and Rebirth.

While pros cannot play a game without slide canceling, it also makes the games quite toxic for casual players who are yet to master the art.Furthermore, many times, the visual representation of a slide cancelation is not perfect and confuses players while playing Warzone or Vanguard.Dylan@DMTheoryI wonder what comp cod would be like without sliding or slide canceling.6:09 AM · Apr 12, 20201715I wonder what comp cod would be like without sliding or slide canceling.Scump believes the more movement mechanics are added to Call of Duty titles, the less the skill gap becomes.The more variables, I feel like lessens the skill gap. Slide canceling and jump mechanics, it creates unpredictability… He could slide cancel you and you could not expect it because he has so many things in his arsenal that he can use. It’s unpredictability, which makes it less skillful.Scump and co-podcaster Dashy also mentioned Jetpacks and high jump mechanics from the previous Call of Duty titles, Black Ops 4, and Advanced Warfare.These mechanics ruin the chances of a straight gunfight contest between players and add tons of dimension, which Scump believes is the main reason behind a dropping skill level in the game.Optic Scump actively participates in this year's CDL edition and can be found slide canceling his way to victory or defeat on every CDL Major night.
