Prone

(tokamak) #1

I miss prone. Can we have prone? I want prone.

(Stumperd) #2

although proning is not something that is really necessary, I agree :D! prone ftw!

(Volcano) #3

Do you think it would fit the game though is the question regardless if it was it previous games does it really need to be in this one

(Ashog) #4

I don’t need prone, but slide like in Brink would be great perhaps.

(Ruben0s) #5

I want prone as well.

It’s not going to be used a lot, and in some maps it’s going to be used more often than in others but yes, there are enough situations where I wished I could lie down that would justify its existence. I suppose that if prone is implemented it would be used about as often in W:ET maybe a bit less.

You could say that the game is too fast to lie down but I think that most of the time the pace of the game only limits the use of prone rather than prone limiting the pace of the game.

And I’m aware that I’m asking for heaps of extra animation and coding work right now but hey, that’s not really my problem :stuck_out_tongue:

Prone AND slide :slight_smile:

(BomBaKlaK) #8

Think the same, but maybe not. it depend a lot how is implemented in the game, knock down with slide kick is a bad idea I think.

(tokamak) #9

Yeah slide was alright for dodging but the knock-down made it too prominent in Brink.

(Volcano) #10

oh god that knock down from sliding was the biggest piece of aids

Yeah i wouldn’t mind prone in this game, i do kinda miss it! - as for use as long as this game doesnt become a dolphin diving craze in every firefight, i can see it being useful for doing objectives (being sneaky).

I dont think prone is needed at all. The game works fine without it and it wont be used alot. ETQW had prone and its a rarity to see someone proning (except some people like rex who seem to be prone fetishists^^)

Lol no slide! This was a realy bad game feature…

(RasteRayzeR) #13

prone is for campers … not Dirty Bombers :->

(Ashog) #14

Why was slide a bad feature? I liked it.

(spookify) #15

Prone Yes (No Delay No Dissapearing Crosshair) (Good Old ET Prone)

No Slide

(tokamak) #16

I used prone a lot in ETQW but I didn’t compare it there because the larger scale of combat also made it more necessary.

Yeah the lying down and getting up can have a considerable delay, doesn’t have to be as fast as in W:ET.

(Kordin) #17

If there will be prone, i hope the animations and hitboxes fit together. In ETQW they didnt. there was a time during the proning down phase where the htiboxes where rly ****ed up and u could rly give them headshots…

This made prone rly annoying and is the reason why i dont like it at all…

(j4b) #18

I like prone but not the fast way. Give it a little delay specialy for unprown to shoot and it could fit in this game.

(RasteRayzeR) #19

I’m not prone to this xD

Anyway, prone is useful for machine gun soldiers and snipers, the rest will not benefit from it. Furthermore :

  • a sniper with prone dies in 0.00001 second in DB, it’s already too hard to find a spot to snipe without being shot or discovered quickly.
  • a soldier with prone and his machine gun would stop being a good mobile cover => slowing down the game.

It’s not ET:QW or W:ET here, we are only 8 by team and the general pace of the game does not allow you to stop and stay somewhere for very long, even on defense.

Prone => denied

prone, hell yes please!!! :smiley:

I have no problem to stay somewhere for very long. Just the maps need to be adjusted to make it suit for prone.
