I kno some people hate to go against a shoother that belly flops nd shoots... But on another note it serves as a tactic.. like it or not it makes games better

I've got to agree with Kaerill.

I love the idea of the feature. It brings additional tactics, and it's how you'd be firing out in the open IRL. However, in my experience ever game that has included it has eventually gone from using it as a tactical option to using it just like bunny hopping.

Bunny hopping and dropping to prone as your method of survival are extremely annoying. The reality is that the feature will be abused, and with as many problems as we have with bunny hopping scouts already the last thing we need to see are people tapping prone every few seconds.

Its a decent idea, but in it reality gets abused all the time.

makes games better?!? and no by no means is it a tactic unless your diving for cover.
any drop shotting player is just a nub. and the sad thing is 1 out of 20 nubs who pull it off end up dead or stabbed because their gun game is soo poor

The people who use prone in other FPS's are people who love to camp and rack up points by being a harder to hit target. I guess you guys do this in other games and noticed that it's not an option here.

It ain't a tactical shooter until it gets prone.

I guess no fear of death might cause this?

Why not use Napoleons linear formations while we're at it?

I believe that is the point of doing it as a real Sniper. Snipers are meant to "camp". It means they are doing something right. As a military man I was taught to make myself as small a target as possible to make me harder to hit. Prone and cover are the best ways to do this. Plus prone is the most stable of all the firing positions, followed by kneeling.
That being said, there should definitely be some movement, aiming, and firing penalties switching from Standing to Kneeling to Prone and then again from Prone to Kneeling to Standing. Otherwise it gets abused like in MAG. Nothing is more ridiculous than seeing a dude hop in the air go to prone and hop again just to confuse the enemy. While technically it can be done in real life it gets more difficult with the more gear you have on

in mag if you go prone and try to fight that way you usually get owned.. most ppl have upgraded health/armor so snipers are rarely 1 hit kill. if the sniper is prone he's going to get flanked very easy because you can't pivot fast. the only real advantage to going prone is when u need to reload. other wise it doesn't increase any chance of success really just makes you easier to flank and you can't evade a frag when prone.. either way i don't care if it's added or stays out because I'm both a bad company 2 and mag fan anyway, 1 game has it the other doesn't, but if they do add prone that's fine, it's not a win button it's actually the opposite in that you're mobility is greatly reduced. more noobs on their stomach is fine by me.
