How To Slide In MW2
In order to dive and slide in Modern Warfare 2, all you need to do is press crouch when sprinting. However, the speed of your sprint completely changes which action your character will undertake.
If you're wanting to slide, pressing crouch when performing a regular speed sprint will allow you to do this. Sliding is one of the most useful movement mechanics in recent Call of Duty games, as it makes your character move unpredictably, and become very difficult to actually hit.
Whether you'll be able to fully slide cancel in Modern Warfare 2 is still up in the air though, but it has certainly been a mechanic that has dominated the game for better or worse.

On the other hand, if you're wanting to pull off a dive, you will need to press crouch when performing a tactical sprint, which is the faster of the two options. If you're unsure how to tactical sprint, all you need to do is press the sprint button (default L3) twice and hold forward on the left analogue stick.
You will only be able to tactical sprint for a short while, and there is a bigger delay between ending your sprint and being able to fire your gun again, but it can be very helpful for getting out of a tricky situation or chasing after an enemy.
Adding the dive to this tactical sprint can allow you to be even more flexible, releasing your inner dolphin with the ability to launch yourself headfirst through windows and door frames.
So, that wraps up everything you need to know about how to dive and slide in Modern Warfare 2, allowing you to be a bit more mobile than before on the battlefield.
