Actually, Vulcan, it is very easy to get taken out by a Jackhammer and never see the guy. There have been several times that I've been running down corridors and died before I even realized I was being shot. Whether it has come from behind while I had to stop for a fire fight ahead or a guy that's been standing beside a door or behind something waiting for me to pop out in front of him, it is quite easy to get killed by a Jackhammer and have no idea where it came from...
Point being this, if Jackhammers can do it inside, I don't see why there is a need to limit it in outside battles. Prone position would not be the end all, be all in this game. There are far too many vehicles for it to become an exaggerated problem. But it would help flesh out the sniper role. It isn't like everyone is going to give up a Max suit so they can go crouch out in the bushes.
