Personally, I really don't see the point of being prone in this game. So much has been made of the whole fact that the warriors are encased inside armor loaded with a power supply and CPU, I think that it won't make much sense to go prone when you're controlling a guy who has software that interfaces with the servos to steady your aim.
As far as freerunning moves... I don't find that the current maps really have much that would warrant the same movement, The developers always seemed to be talking about how you were in charge of an unstoppable tank of a person that could take punishment, and I guess I really don't expect to see acrobatics attached to the term 'tank' (though, the idea of a cartwheeling tank seems.... intimidating)
About the only thing that I would want out of this would be a destroyable portion of the map. The buildings that already exist are pretty much flat and really don't leave much TO be destroyed from what I've seen, and I could understand something that would blow up a larger structure, but I really don't think there's much on the maps that would lend themselves to being obliterated.... I think this is a good idea, but maybe for something well after the game has gone live? |

I gotta say that there's a large number of people that just, like myself, regard prone to be entirely useless... And it really does interrupt the flow of the game. Dust strikes me as one where you're always on the move, just when you've finished taking point C, you look up to see that the distant point E is now being hacked. Sure, I can see the theoretical fact that a sniper would be able to take out big guys that are trying to get inside to get lil old me... But I really would prefer to have someone down there with me, helping to take the point, giving direct support beyond just the well-placed potshot.
I also have to point out that, from the times I've been able to get behind a dropship turret, anyone who's stupid enough to get caught out in the open is just asking to get brutally murdered. Especially in a game where you get lit up like a christmas tree from across the map with a little arrow.
There's also the fact that, if the developers wanted that option, I think it woulda been in there a LLLOOONNNGGG time ago. |
