Prone? Bleh, I'm one of the few who despised that dolphin diving BS. Oh well.

Cutting out prone to cure dolphin diving is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Bunny hopping and dolphin diving are the result of a shoddy design...not of having freedom of movement. A good design would make your accuracy go totally wonky if you tried that crap...take a gun out to the range and try dolphin diving and bunny hopping, and a few things are guaranteed to happen:

1. You will totally miss anything you try to hit, no matter how many cases of ammo you burn through.

2. Your rounds will, therefore, hit things you did not intend to shoot...dirt, other targets, birds, more dirt, your friends, the sky, and likely yourself.

3. You will get thrown off the range by the range master. He may or may not beat you savagely about your head, neck, and shoulders with your own weapon before, during, and/or following said ejection.


Blaming prone for dolphin diving is like blaming the ability to name your avatar for the red tag bug.
