Modern Warfare 3 snake movement will be removed in new update

Sledgehammer Games, the developer behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, is actively looking into the snake movement or "Snaking 2.0" exploit causing disruptions in the multiplayer. The developer and the official Call of Duty Updates social media account responded to the community's concerns, acknowledging the issue and assuring players that an investigation is underway to remove it on the new update.

To keep players informed about the progress, the development team shared a link to the Call of Duty Trello board, where the current status of the exploit is set to "investigating." The transparency from Sledgehammer Games reflects a commitment to addressing player concerns promptly and maintaining a fair gaming environment. The snake exploit has been identified as a concern exclusive to PC, providing a temporary relief for PlayStation and Xbox console users.

The exploit is an evolved version of the original snaking method, quickly becoming a nuisance, especially for console players in crossplay matches. This technique allows keyboard and mouse users to glide across the ground in a prone position at sprint speeds, affecting matches and leading to prompt action from the development team. Imagine you're almost on a killstreak only to have someone exploit the snake movement across the map and abruptly end your progress. No wonder why most players want to remove this disruptive technique.

While fans were surprised by the prompt response, others shared their experiences with the snake movement exploit, showcasing its impact on gameplay. Even the official Sledgehammer Games account joined the conversation, emphasizing the need to address the issue.

The recent developments highlight the developer's proactive approach to maintaining the integrity of Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer experience. Beyond addressing the exploit, Sledgehammer Games also teased upcoming content, including new maps and the return of Gunfight in Season 1. The studio engaged with the community in a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" event, revealing plans for fan-favorite maps like Shipment and introducing quality-of-life updates, such as a Stamina Bar and tests for non-disbanding lobbies. As the team continues to work on improvements, players can expect a more refined and enjoyable gaming experience shortly.
