How To Lean and Aim in Modern Warfare 2
To lean in Modern Warfare 2, you simply need to aim down your sight with the weapon you have equipped and move either left to lean towards your left side or move right to lean to the right side. This mechanic becomes a bit more prominent depending on the weapon you are holding. So, if you have a Sniper Rifle equipped, you will move a bit slower while leaning than if you were to do with a light weapon.

However, the amount by which your character will lean to either side will be higher when using a bigger gun. Particularly, the head and shoulder will lean more towards the side you are moving.
Leaning Tips in Modern Warfare 2
As leaning is a core mechanic in Modern Warfare 2, you need to be well-versed in how you can use it to take down enemies efficiently. Most players utilize this mechanic when peaking a corner since this will allow you to see what’s ahead without exposing your whole body to potential enemies waiting for you to peak.
As your head and shoulder will be moving when you peak a corner, you will be able to get back into cover a lot faster than if you were to just peak without leaning.
