is this post is really representative and also make me think Why not waiting for a Prone in build betatest to figure out if it work ?

so for me secret pool are null

If developers acted on every community driven poll we would have some very strange games indeed...But, a secret pool sounds like it could be fun!

Back on topic - I think prone doesn't really fit in Planetside, keep it as it is.

Hitting the deck is pretty much part of any internally consistent battlefield narrative. Not being able to drop in the face of fire, especially in the open, is really very confusing to me. It could certainly be implemented to not be stupid and cheesy. I don't understand the resistance.

If he just said that to no one i wouldnt have gotten mad. he called me out specifically a few pages ago after i said my simple friendly opinion. In that post i was more than respectful to both sides. In fact he didnt post one thing implying i was a dupe, he posted 3 times implying im a fake person.

But you're right i should chill. But i stand by what i said. all of it.

They think dolphin dive, we think tactical hide from fire.

You guys need to see this, it does not center over prone but this is what you guy for some reason call campers do, i call them support from a distance.




This does not really show "prone" except who in the **** would want to stand up to take a shot with a sniper??? to me they should have it sway more well standing, not as much crouching and 0 if laying on something, like you could still be crouching but it would have to have it touching the rock to shoot. something like that if you still want 0 prone for some reason.

just for no reason what so ever, 0

see that is the problem when you potion your gun when your crouching you have to have in this game half your chest showing well only your head and solders show when in prone, this stance if for minimizing your targeted body, and keeping your sniper or gun balanced.

That's great when you have a convenient slope.

Prone is good for that reason in real life. But this is a game, and not a simulation either. Balance and gameplay is more important. Having a cloaking sniper who can use prone on top of everything else, hundreds of meters away in a game would just be frustrating. Crouching works nearly as well anyways.

If you're not using a slope, you're not doing it right. :P
