I did. There hasn't been a thread about this in months. Rules like that just alienate new users.

There was a 50 page behemoth of a thread about prone just last week, I think it ended up being 66% against.

this. please close this before a war breaks out

I'm confused about the poll, anybody else?

Doesn't the option for "Prone should be added" say the exact same thing as the option for "No, to lean?"

Even more confusing considering that you can only choose one option...

I knew that prone wasn't in, but I didn't even consider the lack of leaning. IMHO that is a must for all shooters nowadays.

What modern multiplayer shooter has Lean?

No you didn't, last one was closed a week ago... a community gave it's opinion about prone there. Lean wouldn't fare much better.

Lean and prone add nothing to the game except more camping.

Lean and prone add nothing to the game except more camping.

But this game is about defending bases, so its not camping, its called defending a base/tower/whatever, kind of hate how most people say "You're sitting in one place killing me? You must be a camping noob."
But i guess it is a personal view, if you die to someone, probably everyone's first reaction will be "Camper!!". Which is understandable, but now that you know he is there, you can now proceed to kill him or think of a new tactic.

On topic.
I see camping as sitting in a corner near a doorway and killing people when they run through, mostly with a shotgun.
If i am behind cover shooting you, thats not camping, thats me using cover effectively like a boss.

Or if i am guarding an objective and killing you, thats not camping, thats me defending the objective.

I don't think we will see much camping, with all the bases and towers and such, everyone will be defending the objective or using cover, so this game will have less camping i think than most other games.


I'm not against lean, definitely no prone, but lean has always been a tactic. You only call it camping when you get owned by it and don't know how to counter it, IE: grenades.

This is so true. Basically my post can be summed up by this.

[DreadPirate]

There's no such thing as camping in this game. Grenades, planes, jump jets, and sheer numbers negate any real damage a camper can do. This is a different type of game than the "other" fps games most are used to. So the normal fps faux pas don't apply.
Just my 2 cents.

Toppopia I wasn't talking about that... base defense is not "camping". Even camping is a legit tactics sometimes imo i.e. when ambushing...

However there will be those guys (snipers mostly) who will go to your bases/towers, hide between 2 rocks and shoot at soldiers spawning nearby like that one guy in E3 footage. they will have stealth cloaks already but there's no need to make them OP by allowing them to have even less visibility by going prone or leaning behind the rock.

well no to both and there have been many polls on prone and it was voted down by majority i will give you lean as a new one but nah dude this stuff won't fly here go back to cod or bf =x also props for making the no to both option sound like we don't want tactical mechanics >.< lean and prone are not *TACTICAL* in shooters their spawn and abuse mechanic planetside will be tactical far more then cod and bf could ever be xD. ps if you did get this in id just camp you in a air craft and bomb you till you raged quit would not help you =3
