Planetside 2 Needs Prone


Title says it all. This would be a welcome addition in my books. I've enjoyed this feature in many other titles and believe it adds a wealth of strategic enhancements to gameplay.

Good luck on selling this one to the PS1 community. I can already hear the crying about infils laying down somewhere nobody can find them in a base. It's also a far shot to be added as I think they would have to redesign the maps in some ways also.

No. It doesn't. PS1 didn't need prone.

this isnt a copy and paste of ps1 this is what i always fear about hardcore fans of a game who almost never goes out there to play another game ive been playing Ps1 for years but stop playing it since the gameplay wasent suitable anymore for me !

Planetside 2 and planetside 1 gameplay wise are 2 different game

planetside 2 gameplay wise is now a more like BF3 game or MAG game or COD game and all those game feature prone

BFBC battlefield bad company was a Pain in the ass because of the No prone stuff as a infantry you werent able to use the terrain properly to cover urself if you take cover behind a crate sometime ur head is expose and boom you die whiout a chance to manage to survive because you dont have the proper tool to do so !


MY ONLY concern about all this is how it can turn with infiltrator cloak

but u can also implement a mechanics where if a infiltrator go prone he loose is Cloak BE creative guys

SO Infiltrator will not ruin the feature Infiltrator prone = No cloak possible

infiltrator have to be croutch or stand position to be able to use their cloak is thats sound good ?

If your signature is bigger than your post you need to reconsider your priorities.

Not having prone discourages camping-style gameplay. Planetside has always been a more aggressive sort of shooter than something like BF3, and this is one area I don't mind them keeping the same.

ya the last thing we need are the annoying people who sprint at you and dive to the ground. PS2 will be a great game without it.

Not advocating putting dolphin diving into PS2, but every time I try running at a person and going prone I end up taking a bullet in the nugget. So if they did add it that doesn't really bother me. Also, I notice on bf3 it's insanely easier to headshot prone soldiers, so it kinda balances out.

Re: Planetside 2 Needs Prone


Okay, but these need to be put in too:

-Damage taken while prone is doubled.

-Because of the extreme surface contact with the ground, infiltrators can only get to about 50% stealth maximum, even with no weapon drawn.

-Unable to use AV weapons.

-Unable to throw grenades more than 15 meters.

-Able to be trampled by friendlies and enemies, causing damage and inflicting grief on any trampling friendlies.

-Takes 1 second to get to crouching from prone. Certs can reduce that to half a second.

Don't forget a 10% chance of getting dirt in your gun and having it jam. We're going for realism, right?

People still believe that myth? Adding prone just gives the ability to have better cover.

Nice find agains you conter a arguments that a lots of people come with such as Prone will encourage camping lol

these snipers nest in crouch position was more than just usual in many NON prone games

Edit: and if they where prone in this position they arent going to be able to shoot lol only get a cover but in crouch at this spot people just can see their gun because the montainside hide the rest of their body only the deah and the top of the guns are expose

This is the way it should be, you don't need prone for this.

Stew must have just woken up, because now this thread is going to last another 50 pages because he will post the same useless rant bumping it. Please lock this thread points have been made and it's just going to be arguing and "my opinion is better" attacks.

You say you don't need it but you have it a little wrong, prone makes it better, its just not required, but it does make it better. Prone improves the game play but is not needed.

Edit: also if its not required it does not matter at all then why even be here man?
