The main point of prone is to make your body harder to hit, so all of you say its to hard try it! BF3 is not slowed down by pron eater, NOT one game has ever been slowed down by this development. I wont you to name one!!!

It's actually pretty obvious it will slow down gameplay. It's a posture that favors staying still over movement. Since you can't advance, it's pretty much only used when the fighting lines are stable or while defending. It's just one more advantage to defenders, and if the balance between attacking/defending is off just a bit it leads to chaos/stagnation.
Since the devs are designing the game based off no prone, it's likely that adding prone could push it over to stagnation. Stagnation is the real reason camping is hated. Every fight just results in being more of the same.
As for games slowed down by having mechanics that favor standing still: WoT.
