Modern Warfare 2 players slam removal of Y-Y reload canceling ActivisionY-Ying used to offer advantages, but it devolved into nothing more than a habit for CoD veterans. Modern Warfare 2 shockingly removed the legacy feature, and players aren\u2019t happy. A Y-Y refers to players canceling a reload and switching to their secondary weapon. The mechanic used to help players deal with idle sway, canceled reloads, and helped keep their fingers warm, constantly swapping between weapons. The Modern Warfare 2 Open Beta went live today for Playstation players who pre-ordered any edition. Players get their hands on four core 6v6 maps and one 32v32 Battle Map for the Beta\u2019s first weekend. Players are in for a rude awakening booting up Modern Warfare 2 for the first time and finding out you can no longer Y-Y. Someone should probably check in with CDL pro \u2018Kenny\u2019 who infamously Y-Ys at any given opportunity. Modern Warfare 2 removes Y-Y reload canceling CharlieINTEL posted a clip on Twitter explaining why reload canceling no longer works in Modern Warfare 2. \u201cThe saved state for a magazine is when it is removed, meaning you cannot cancel the reload after that point. It will force you to finish it regardless.\u201d Essentially you have to complete the entire reload animation before switching weapons. Y-Ying allowed you to change weapons without completing the animation. The change seems minute on paper, but Hector \u2018HECZ\u2019 Rodriguez, OpTic Gaming CEO, joked that CoD is dead after removing the Y-Y. One CoD player responded to CharlieINTEL\u2019s Tweet, saying, \u201cthis has gotten me killed like 7 times, but I\u2019m going to adapt to it.\u201d A second user added, \u201cthey are removing everything that the community liked.\u201d The Modern Warfare 2 Beta does not accurately represent the game\u2019s final build, so some features are subject to change. Infinity Ward created a Reddit Thread for players to voice any concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
