It would be nice if they'd offered a dedicated server that anyone can run and just allowed people to enable prone if they wanted... (would be unranked but at least they could play with prone)
Also it seems pretty ironic that the first sniper rifle you start with is the M-24 which has the little legs hanging down for prone firing, they even modeled their movement so you'll see them swinging around loose when you move. It's almost like their taunting you...
