Battlefield BC2 looking dam sweet

TBH most of the maps on BF2 was so huge prone was nothing to me as most of the time kills would not come from combat at very close range.

Now if you are talking about city maps then all the other types of spamming annoyed me far more like unlimited raining nades ect.

Lastly and this is why I am posting... why can't they just include a COD prone? no one spams prone in MW1/2 because it would be pointless as you can't fire and it takes so long, making a BF2 prone spam impossible!

I agree. Everyone keeps saying take prone out because of the bf2 dolphin divers. But why don't the devs just make prone a lot slower and without being able to go insta-prone while shooting.
 
I don't have any complaints with prone, they die just as easily at close range where most of my kills come.
The real problem with BF2 is the claymore and friendly fire. The claymore has a far too large a kill radius, can't be disarmed which is extremely annoying and worst of all it never kills friendlies. If they made claymores kill friendlies it would be problem solved and give those lamers a nice -8 points.

What is prone spamming?

I can't see how you can have a FPS game without being able to prone, seems like they are going to ruin every game now.

:confused:

last i checked the vast majority of fps game managed just fine without it, prone is something that either op flashpoint or dod started, its really not been about that long and the majority of fps games still don't make use of it.

So how is it going to "ruin" something when its not something thats even a standard feature in shooters?

It was slowed down in bf2 and they found a way around it, dice tried to fix it on a few occasionas and every time the prone kiddies found a way of making it as effective as it was before. The main problem from what i can remember was the prone animation messed with the hitboxes so spamming prone made you harder to hit, i believe one of the updates fixed the hitbox issue but the movement issue was never resolved.
 
why not just make prone make you stop, and then get down on one knee then to prone all with your weapon away.

ie if you do it in a close range fire fight you're going to die, but do it to set up your camping spot with a sniper and it;s fine.
 
yes it should commit you to an uninterrupted animation sequence where u cannot fire for say 2s.

Mw2 has a lot of prone divers and jumpers... real takes the edge off the realism ( i know its not very real anyway)

I love the bf2 divers lol brings back a lot of memories mostly rage ones ;p
 
well they said they will be accepting feedback during the beta

if enough people make noise about prone hopefully they willl bring it back and fix the problems with it
 
I'v not read the whole thread so don't know the reasons for taking out prone.
But I'f they've done it to stop all the prone spamming which was shocking in BF2, then why not implement something like when you use a mounted LMG in Day of Defeat where you have a whole movement to get down and mount your gun.. :)





EDIT: Just like tefal said a bit further up ^^^
:p

Due to the sheer amount of animations they would have to make for all the weapons in a prone position id doubt very much it would ever make it back into BC2, maybe BF3.

I don't know what MW2 you've been playing, but in the one I've been playing you can shoot while prone, it takes a second or so and people do spam it. And imo it is completely unnecessary and more of an annoyance than a feature.

I've never felt the need for prone in BC, what exactly would it bring? Snipers are already extremely good there's no need to make it easier with prone. People keep saying it should be put "back" in, but I've not seen anyone give a reason why.

lol lack of prone ruins FPS? The vast majority of FPS do not have prone, I guess regardless of how good they are they're ruined because there's no prone?

They cant fix prone without changing major parts of the game.
They probably should do this but whats going to sell more games, days or weeks rewriting a game engine or 5 mins disabling prone & spending that development time making higher res textures and cool new weapon models

This is a sequel not a new game or new game engine, everything should be bolted on so they wont be redesigning the engine for this or bf3 imo

If you want that, get arma 2. Not bad graphics and its so realistic it hurts :p


Consider yourself forewarned, bc2 will be very arcadey. If they are still good at this, it will have some more interesting gameplay in there somewhere

People who have the went to ground to get better accuracy and cover to defend a point should be allowed. This is realistic and is nothing like BF2 prone spam in combat. For all MW2 faults they have not failed in the area.

Also once you are on the ground you have limited movement and then it takes awhile to get up. So when on the go I only ever crouch in MW2.

Glad you edited your post ;)

I see what you mean that prone is better in MW2 than it is in BF2, but personally I still don't see the need for it in BC. Though depending on how extensive the destruction system is maybe I'll be wrong about BC2.

Can anyone comment on the knife in BC2? Have they changed it from a spammy lag weapon?
