in PS you can jump stand and duck but how about a PRONE position. I was playing firearms half-life when i got this idea. PRONING (laying on your stomach) can be good for making your shots accurate and even hiding. also if prone is added make sure the player can crawl while proned

hey I think that that wouldnt be a bd idea. it would be good for us snipers so it would be harder to hit us. It would also be got for cloakers because they could get threw areas even less detecive.

The Dev's already said this wouldnt happen, as it takes away from the fast pace nature of the game. Or something like that...

Whoa! Your totally right! We cant let those damn cloakers be cloaked! That would totally ruin my point and click grunt tactics!

Long ago they said there would never be prone, but then again they said there would never be artillery either :)

In all honesty it's really a different game now than they had invisioned it. That's not a bad thing either hehe

Did I say it was? I didn't think I did.

Sorry to say I canceled my subscription pre-lodestar and pre-recerting update. I am probably gonna give it another shot here shortly. Besides, I miss killing you guys...

Please don't let there be a prone postition. Means I'd have to turn off Flora and play the game on an ugly setting.... :(

Well , I have two sides to this matter. One , I think its a good idea because I have always loved Prone. Two, it would ruin the game because I feel prone really doesnt have that much more of an advantage towards it , other than i better CoF and a smaller target for someone to hit you.

You should have flor off as it is it puts you at a disadvantage, they should make it locked(as in all players have to have it).

Why do we need prone? crouching is fine, its just makes you slower and much easier to snipe anyway.

I missed Prone when I started playing. (Feels like all other fps's got it) But I've grown to play without it.

Another thing I really miss is damage locations, like the arms, legs, torso, and head. And on tanks; the turret, the threads, front armor, side armor, back armor, and top armor (all with different armor strenght), etc.

Hey Grey if stuff like this were to happen (I know I'm being Captain Obivous with this) LAG. this game would be unplayable unless you got some outrageously priced alienware computer. Plus the top of the line connection.

Changing it so flora was always on for everybody would have nothing to do with your connection but yes it would up the requirments for having playable FPSs quite a bit depending on how much flora there was (I've never actually turned it on myself since until I get my new machine I get about 11-17fps on minimum settings :p ).

I seem to remember one of the Devs saying there was no prone because they didn't want the game to have to be renamed SniperSide back in the Beta, but that was a loooong time ago so I'm not really sure.

Prone would be cool as long as it took a couple seconds to switch between it and standing. Firefights shouldn't be fought by a bunch of guys running, diving to prone and firing, instantly getting back up to go over X place, yadda yadda. For that extra accuracy and lower profile you need to sacrifice the ability to get the hell out of dodge when the time comes, in my opinion.

Oh, and if they add prone I demand an MG42, as seen in Day of Defeat.

i agree about prone. i should be in-game. they give PS a military feel. anyone whom has ever been in the military knows the prone position is the most basic rifle firing position there is. it provides the most accuracy makes you a smaller target(harder to hit).

they should just give a disadvantage to being prone. speed. you should be able to high crawl, BUT, slowly-surge should work with this, but not make it too fast, just at about a walking pace. w/out surge on, you should be crawling slower than walk.

aiming: make it so you can only aim 45 degress or so to your left, right, and up. your CoF should get smaller, though.

also, they should give it a delay of getting up from the prone position. it should be an almost immediate action to go prone, but to get up should take...i don't know 1.5 sec or so.
