CoD MW3 tactical stance explained | How to tac-stance & why to use it
It's certainly helped us a lot in Ranked Play during Season 1 (when we're not busy in CoD Zombies, that is) and we'll no doubt make great use of it in Season 2, as well.

What is tactical stance in CoD MW3?
The tac-stance is a move in which the weapon is slightly slanted, and it's especially useful in aggressive plays.
This is because it's a stance that's 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.
The speed of the sights is increased in the stance, too, as is the spread of bullets.
How to use CoD MW3 tactical stance
To use the CoD MW3 tactical stance, you simply need to aim down the sights and press down on the D-Pad or V by default on PC.
Before you can do this, though, make sure the stance is activated in the gameplay settings.
While you're in the settings, you'll also be able to adjust the 'tactical stance behaviour'.
Once you've made sure it's activated, you'll 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.
Check out this handy YouTube video from YTLukeyy for a quick look at how it works and should look in-game:
If you're sliding, however, you'll tac-stance by default - so no need to press anything, just shoot!
