Infantry BUFF-O-RAMMA

[oddfish]

Okay, here we go:

Infantry controls are too basic. Toooooo basic.
I'll be honest, I know that coding a whole bunch of new Infantry abilities would be a bitch, but I don't think any of us would dislike the introduction of a few new Infantry abilities, such as:

The Prone Position: This would be very useful, in my humble opinion.
Diving to Prone: A great maneuver, especially when going for cover.
Leaning: The ability to lean would be nice. Showing the enemy as little of your body as possible is always a plus.
Halo 2 Style Vehicle Hijack: This is a pipe dream if there ever was one, but I think the ability to hop on vehicles and go to town would make for a lot more entertaining battles. It sure does in H2.
Fire-Team Buffs: When moving in tight groups of three and up, you get slight buffs to health and speed and reload rate. The bigger the group the bigger the buff up to 8 or 9 players. This, of course, would encourage more teamwork AND would buff individual players a bit.

I just think with the addition of the BFR's and what not, it would probably be a good idea to add some new stuff to the infantry of PlanetSide.. that may just be me. But, that's what I have to say.
