Ya. I am a little bummed about the lack of the prone position, but from the developers interview (George...at least I think that is his name) said that they didn't do that becuase they wanted it to be a fast paced FPS and in a fast paced FPS, prone = dead. However, I feel the snipers should be able to go prone at the very least. Just my $0.02 worth.

I hadn't noticed the dead/dying NC guy before. It makes the VS MAX in the foreground's aim make more sense.

Looks like the VS JUST waxed the NC, and is still firing at where he was standing.

One question about that shot though: WHAT are those two missiles coming from? It doesn't look like much of anything...

but i doubt there are that many if any animations for death...

You are confusing two different things.
UT2003 had Death Physics. Each death sequence vaired by what hit you, were it hit you, and its velocity.

PS has death animations. You die, and an animation plays.

those missles are from Phoenix launchers. note the abrupt turn? self-guided missles don't change direction so suddenly. so there must be a human hand on a joystick aiming it.

Well, I have to add the lack of Prone to my short list of items that pisses me off about this game. (it's a very short list).

I have to wonder who the hell makes a decision to leave out something as usefull as prone. Frankly, I am sick and tired of playing games that leave it out to make their programming easier.

I ask you, if you are in battle and someone is shooting at you, and you have no good cover, isn't prone the only real option? There is a good reason why it is used so widely in real life battle. Leaving it out of war games is nothing short of retarded.

lol, I love it how accuse them of trying to make it easier. Prone was in the game, then they took it out. They felt it slowed the combat down, and since it would only really be useful for snipers that it wasn't needed. You can live without prone.
