How To Slide Cancel in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

To Slide Cancel, the player will need to aim down to sights and jump while sliding to cancel it. To do this, sprint a bit and slide while aiming down to sights at the beginning of the slide. The moment the player hits the jump button, they will stand back up and stop the glide moving forward. This is great for preventing players from overshooting the distance between cover and getting close and personal for body and headshots. It’s recommended to practice this movement while playing with bots to test how effective it can be in a real battle.
