So is there going to be prone? Also will you be able to run and turn or will it be like BC2?

proning in a map that might be 3 times the size of those in BC2 is just retarded.. of course.. . campers like to jerk off in the grass.. so meh..

what happened to all those people complaining about the crappy server browsers? maybe they finally fixed it but i recall when these games were released the server browsers were one of the most complained about things for the BF games.

Beats me, I didn't buy it on release.

I've missed jerking off in the grass. There's nothing better than going prone in the grass and defending a control point. I do hope they keep the sniper rifles the same as in BC2. I really like the differences between the silenced and non-silenced rifles.

prone is never retarded in a game that loosely claims to be a 'battlefield simulator'

prone sniper = great 40mm nade or arty target
 
Personally I could care less about prone or level of realism, I just want big maps good looking and most of all fun shooter. I have a good feeling about this game.
 
I hope it is exactly like Desert Combat, with better graphics but same gameplay.

Would be cool if they brought back El Alamein for nostalgia's sake.
 
heheh yeah those are fun too 😀

a buddy of mine was amazing with the m203.

he could out sniper anyone with them

he got called a cheater all the time

whats really crazy is how dumb he is IRL, but man he could tube with the best of them
 
I would like to see prone again. I miss it sometimes in BC2 when I'm trying to take cover from something and I still get picked off cause I can't get low enough.
 
Its silly for a combat game not to have prone. From what I gather the reason they dont have it is because of THEIR bad implementation of prone in a previous version. "Dolphin Diving". So instead of making it right they just took it out. Battle Field games would be awesome if they could get the feel and control of COD with Battle Fields objective game types and maps.
 
prone was fine in bf2, it was the abuse of going prone mid bunny hop that was the problem. also it was an near instantaneous switch between prone and crouch.

also the barrel roll was pure crap, unnecessary animation flourish that screwed up hit detection.

a better system for prone is the dayofdefeat source system. going down and coming out of prone takes a few seconds and you cant shoot during the transition(just like real life cuz you have to use your hands to get up/down).

Yup I wish everyone would adopt the DoD prone system.
 
All they had to do was make it so you couldn't prone until your jump was complete. Bunny hopping by itself isn't so bad, bunny hop plus dolphin dive is too much. They have the ability to restrict you from firing while jumping, so they could have restricted going prone while jumping I don't doubt.

Are you saying you cant jump and shoot in Battle Field?

Yes, it would seem a simple fix would just be make it to where as you cant prone in mid-air, which is probably how most games are.

Not being able to prone in a game with ample cover and tanks that could roll by you any second is even more retarded.

I know I can't fire until my boots are back on the ground. There do seem to be a few exceptions such as I think maybe you can fire AT rockets while jumping, but I've not been able to fire rifles/smg/shotgun etc in the air.

I hope they bring back Lost Village and Oilrig from DC.

Lost Village and Sea Rigs were awesome. I would really like to see Urban Siege again but add in the Rush/Push style going in through that city and with the destructible buildings. That would be pretty good.
