And as I say, camping in BF3 isn't happening because of prone, that's laughable, it's happening because of KDR-centric players, and an unreasonably low TTK, 3D spotting and killcam.
And others have explained it better than me, I particularly like the explanation someone above said about how you can't avoid headshots.

Prone's not being removed... as far as we can tell it's not even in the game. Laying down on the ground is not a legitimate gameplay style in a game that calls itself Planetside.
Planetside was never a tactical warfare sim... it was a large scale strategic arcade shooter, and that's the way it ought to stay.
