Sledgehammer Games, the lead developer of Modern Warfare 3, is taking action against a notorious exploit known as “snaking” in the game. This glitch allows players to sprint while appearing in the prone animation, giving them an unfair advantage. The developers have acknowledged the frustration of gamers and are actively investigating the issue.
Snaking is a technique where players use crouch and prone animations to slide back and forth behind cover, gaining valuable information about enemy positions. This technique has been present in previous Call of Duty titles but has gained popularity due to its use in competitive play. However, a new version of snaking, referred to as “Snaking 2.0,” has emerged in Modern Warfare 3. This version allows players to move at sprinting speed while in the prone position, which was not intended by the developers.
While Sledgehammer Games has allowed players to snake in the past, they cannot tolerate this new exploit. The developers have not provided a specific timeframe for when the issue will be fixed, but it has been acknowledged as a known issue on the public MW3 dev Trello board. It is unclear whether fixing this new exploit will also affect the original snaking technique.
Players are relieved by the news of Sledgehammer Games taking action against the snaking exploit. The chaotic nature of Call of Duty gameplay does not need the added frustration of players sliding around on their bellies at high speeds, clipping through objects, and firing weapons.
