Stop Asking for BFBC2 Prone [Feb 01, 2010, 11:25 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A tweet by Battlefield Bad Company 2 lead designer David Goldfarb that's retweeted by the BFBC2 feed says that even if you stand on your head, they are not adding the ability to go prone in the military shooter sequel: "Fyi we will not add prone based on anything. You can stop asking now. :)"
Prez--
I hear what you're saying, but based on how much cover there is in this game, I'm almost willing to bet a weeks pay that they tried prone, and found that it totally screwed up the dynamic of the game.
As someone pointed out earlier, it's not always best to mimic reality to make a game that's fun and balanced. With all that cover out there it would make sniping almost godlike. In previous BF games, there were no "destroyable" environments, and almost no foliage and ground cover, so Prone players still stuck out to players with as little as an ACOG. not so much the case here.
While it's just my opinion, I think that it would have slowed the game play to a crawl, and people would be up-in-arms over a completely different issue--not being able to move without getting shot.
