Hey guys,
I have been playing DUST since Beta and even then I was wondering... If we are in the future and have these amazing advanced suits/weaponry, why can't we lie down, peer around a corner, hang on to a ledge, climb an obsticle, scramble up a hill (rather than being defeated by it) etc. I'm not saying implement this straight away. I too would rather have all the dropsuits, weapons and wehicles for all races done, finshed and balanced first. However, I feel little things like this would be interesting and make gameplay more interesting.
How this could work is similar to hacking for example. Imagine you are shooting on a ledge and step back too far (slowly) you fall, but you manage to grab onto the ledge (press O to grab, you have to be quick) then have to bash O (for example) to climb back up. The longer you hang there the more your stamina drains. Stamina could also be used up to climb back up etc. If someone comes close you could try pull them off the ledge etc. There is a lot you could do with a simple thing like this.
On a side note, perhaps crouching, laying on the floor etc. could impact your sig radius? Just a thought.
A different request to the usual heavy weapons, dropsuits, vehicles etc. but one with potential merrit.
Let me know what you guys think. |

So if something like this (see link below) couldn't pick itself up from it's own weight then I would agree... but I imagine it could pick itself up considering it would be used to move crazy heavy objects. Plus, it's the future so I imagine such suits would make the below exo skeleton look weak.

Anyway, I support this, I just think you're making a really complex design, lol. It might take a lifetime to implement these new mechanics.
Have I killed you previously? ; ) |

But I'd love to be able to lie down and gain that advantage while sniping or shooting under objects. Would give snipers an edge when trying to stay hidden and would give infantry an edge on attacking from certain vantage points.
I agree, infact when I first started playing I did sniping, and was puzzled as to why I simply couldn't lie down haha, one day maybe. |

+1 OP couldn't agree more

Imagine a scout hanging off a ledge unseen by other people's suit scans then dropping down and Nova Knifing them, could be epic trolling |

Crouching reducing scan profile? Yes
Lying down? Nah. It takes a fair bit of bullets to kill, and crouching already makes it difficult enough to kill, and lying down would make it nigh impossible to kill.
However, with the recent improvements/fixes to hit detection it may not be as hard. Also, it would reward those with a good shot. |

I agree that I'd prefer to wait for other aspects of the game to be sorted first, however, I think at some point this should happen. |

I think if you're going to lay down to snipe people, you should be able to lazily take your time setting up your shot, so taking a while to get down shouldn't be too bad.
PS you can't be laying down and get into a vehicle, you should need to be standing. I can tell for sure I'd snipe under an LAV and if I get shot I'd just aim at the wheels and teleport inside and never die.
I like the idea, perhaps a skill that reduces time to get up and down. I completely agree with the vehicle aspect. |

Would be nice to have it at some point, but obviously other changes must come first |
