Maybe you know prone from cod only. ahah. You are really close minded.

In real war the way you defend areas is by having a DEFENSIBLE POSITION, which is what you all call "camping." Prone is a major part of that. It is how war works. You need to man up and stop whining.
It's a good thing this is a video game played for fun and not a real war then.

Prone causes camping because generally you move much slower in prone. When people go prone they probably don't plan to be moving a lot. Prone also makes attacking a base much more difficult because the size of the enemy target just shrunk by 75%. A couple guys laying prone in a chokepoint with powerful weapons can take out many many attackers.

This game isn't designed to be some military sim. It's a massive scale arcade style action game and I'm glad there will be no prone.
