Any news on Prone?

[DviddLeff]

Not seen it mentioned, wondering if I missed a confirm/deny anywhere?

[SKYeXile]

hopefully its off sucking a dick with BFRs

No prone.

Combat is faster than PS1, no use to lay down and chill. :>

[xcel]

I don't see a problem with prone... I think it would be a nice addition. Other than that, no I have not heard anything about it... Hopefully soon though.

Yea BF3 is coming out this year, have fun with it.

[Dreamcast]

Make it a skill for snipers, they are the only ones who really need it.

[Bruttal]

yeah i really think the only people who need prone and i do think it should be in the game but only for snipers but i don't want no runing diving into prone shit either

I agree with this.

[SKYeXile]

ah can you imagine how lame it would be? for indoors fighting? trying to bust into a lobby or backdoor with prone people camped in there.

Could just not let people prone in doors silly.

thats just silly, lets just not have it, no need to clone every tactical shooter out there when there are plenty of good scifi ones like, halo, tribes, unreal and quake to clone.

[Bruttal]

yeah but where a hybrid to begin with. we have both military and scifi aspects to our game. ridge sniping makes so much sense, i don't see how you wouldn't want it in areas

[SKYeXile]

you can already ridge snipe with just displaying your head, you crest the hill so only the top half of your cof targets over the hill, make snipers choose a spot wisely, rather than mash prone and setup shop anywhere.

[Clyras]

I agree, I think it would definitely be better off without prone. I really don't fancy the Call of Duty like jumping around corners and proning or just generaly proning when someone is seen, its such a spoil. I think the current stand or crouch model works fine.

[BorisBlade]

You guys realize with this new terrible idea of instant death like CoD, indoor fights are gonna be miserable. You thought you died fast now when 100 people camped a door or hall, now imagine doin it with no armor and see how much fun that is.

Prone is the least of my concerns, and is actually a good thing if done right. Such as havin a slow animation to get into and out of prone where you cant shoot while gettin up or down. Make em a sittin duck if prone. With the advantage of a little better aim and lower profile. The faster deaths are gonna be much more of an issue you will see than anything else.

Hear, hear!

Hopefully the TTK won't be too low. I'm sure it'll get changed before release if it is.

Also keep in mind, battles aren't going to be centered around bases in PS2, but areas of land.

[Elude]

Lol prone a skill, I do that shit every night.

Yeah, they said "more lethal" not COD level lethality.

[Hamma]

I heard no mention of Prone while there.

[nathanebht]

Prone is not in. Found this kinda surprising. Snipers aren't the only class that would go prone. If you are in a bad spot and there is no cover, you go prone or run.

Help I'm in the future and we have forgotten how to lie on the ground! Its probably not in the game because of the animation effort involved and resulting terrain clipping issues.

[Malorn]

Matt mentioned on reddit that prone is not in the design at this time.

I'm quite happy...it's unnecessary and would only slow the game down IMO.

[Bags]

From reddit Q and A:

Q: Good Morning Matt. Just a Quick Question..
Prone is it in the game?
[Prone]
Matt: No plans for prone currently.

Here fucking here.

Or it could be because it's not fun.

[Valdae]

Meh I dont think they'll have it but I dont see the problem with prone. Yeah you'll get people lying in defensive positions but would it really be much worse than people crouching behind cover? They'll instantly attract people with explosives as they wont be able to maneuver to safety quickly.

Obviously it'd making playing as sniper more interesting, but it's being able to cover in forna and sneak up on things that sounds like more fun to me.

[Ravanos]

please no prone even as a sniper i don't want it. im so pissed BF3 is adding it.

Don't worry, no prone.

[CutterJohn]

You guys act like prone made you watch it murder your pet bunny when you were children. Presumably headshots strangled your pet puppy.

This vehemence against minor gameplay mechanics is tiring.

[Bags]

Stop QQing about our QQing and I'll stop QQing about you QQing about our QQ.

[CutterJohn]

:lol:

[dsi]

Good lord what did the ability to go prone do to you people? I didn't know the ability to lay down isn't a common trait...

[Volw]

No, but it adds another layer of camping to the game which I don't think anyone wants to see.

Another reason:

Yea prone slows down gameplay quite a bit and as Smed said, things were already to slow for their liking in PS1.
