h8rednow Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Can anyone please explain what I think is the biggest problem with this game,,,,,,,,, Why cant you get into the prone position???? Say what you want, but especially for the recon class, I'd have figured this to be an absolute neccessary thing to be able to do.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingClue Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I agree I would love to see a prone postion but im sure there is a valid reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Juicy Pie Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) they took prone out due to it harboring campers, and a glitch in the battlefield engine known as the "Dolphin Dive" which allowed you to fire while prone and still move at normal run speed while jumping and remaining prone in the air. Just think of a more ridiculous overly exploited version of MW2 fag drop shot.

CYBER GRIMM Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I agree I would love to see a prone postion but im sure there is a valid reason? imo it was cus of how ppl played recon in bf 2, youwere able to go prone but it was very difficult to see a prone sniper or even hit 1 for that matter. hence why it was taken out to speed up the game and keep it flowing.

SouP x360a Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 prone would make snipers too overpowered. this game isnt modern warfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h8rednow Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 ok, but, isint that the point of sniping, to be as small profile a target, well hidden, minimum exposed as possible? As a former USMC sniper, thats how we were trianed anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pined5551 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 prone would make snipers too overpowered. this game isnt modern warfare. Forget the snipers! Imagine trying to attack a target with a dozen M60 prone medics laying about the place, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TALINKINMAN Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 There are far less campers in BFBC2 then in Mw2 so I'm glad there's no prown it makes spray and prey the best way to win if every jerk with a m60 could lay belly down and spray at spawn points man that would be lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golobayj Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Use cover instead. Find ways to use the contours of the landscape to your advantage. Snipers would be incredibly overpowered if they could go prone. They already are devastating in the right hands as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediumMelanin Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Yeah, the game's fine without prone, anyway, nice post with the video! That's crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegamustard Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Prone would truly ruin the game. It generates way more campers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xD12xSTicKNasTY Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) I used to know it as worm glitching. You could also knee slide, that was where you could slide across the ground while crouching. Back in BF2 you could also do a glitch that lagged out the game and made the server crash at will. And you could do what's called a quick switch, which helped on bolt-action snipers. You basically switched to your pistol and back to your sniper after you shot and it eliminated the animation of you character working the bolt. If you did it fast enough you could shoot very fast with the a bolt action, almost full auto. But thank god they dealt with all those issues, I think it's for the better.

a blind beggar Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 ok, but, isint that the point of sniping, to be as small profile a target, well hidden, minimum exposed as possible? As a former USMC sniper, thats how we were trianed anyway. did you also regain your health when you were shot and respawn when you got killed? it's a game, it's supposed to be fun.war's not fun. also,what's up with the people on this forum joining the army.it's like everyone here's in the fucking army:p anywho,if prone was in could you imagine trying to find someone? near impossible.be great for hide and seek though.

M49907 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) they took prone out due to it harboring campers, and a glitch in the battlefield engine known as the "Dolphin Dive" which allowed you to fire while prone and still move at normal run speed while jumping and remaining prone in the air. Just think of a more ridiculous overly exploited version of MW2 fag drop shot. YouTube- BF2 Dolphin Dive - ages ago Imagine trying to shoot that Back in the good old days of Battlefiled 2. They fixed this pretty fast though on the PC. Instead of making you unable to go prone, they made it so your gun temporarily went to your side while jumping or going prone. This made it impossible to shoot while dolphin diving. You are right though, that is most likely why they left out the ability to prone but still there are better ways to eliminate dolphin diving. For example, jumping greatly reduces the speed at which you are running. There are SOOOOOOO many campers in this game, more than MW2 and I have played both games quite a bit so I dont know why you all think prone ability=mass camping. Every other game has prone, and they play just fine. I want prone for one reason - half of the cover in this game isnt tall enough to cover your head. Im tired of getting my scalp shot off because I cant laydown in a damn military shooter. They need to add DLC where you go to bootcamp and crawl on your belly under some barbed wire to learn how to lay the fuck down when bullets start flying.

swsmailman Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I like that there is no prone, it doesn't bother me at all when I am sniping. I really see no reason why there needs to prone in the game, with all the buildings and such, what is the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaytaMalikai Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Prone makes it even easier to hide, and almost all cover in the game exists only to give you a few seconds' respite against an attack, because it can easily be destroyed as well as the person hiding behind it. Recons could easily hide in grassy areas unseen because they look like a patch of grass. I'm sure you would think prone was awesome when whole teams started sniping from miscellaneous trees and bushes because you can barely see them normally when prone, let alone camoflaged.

JesusBread Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Snipers are already a pain in the ass to spot if they know what they are doing. Prone would make it that much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedGeek Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 ha ha. i was thinking this games needs 2 things. prone and night/heat vision. i except the no prone explanation, so now it only needs 1 thing. and not even right away, make it some thing u gain.

EscapedTheFate Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 plus have you even tried to crouch in a bush ? ive had SOOO many people walk right past me when i was just in a bush because they already provide such good cover -- no need for prone helps balance out the huge stages and campers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
