Moving in prone positon

[craetech]

Hi all,

Two behaviours I'd like to suggest while prone.

1. Your upper body can only swivel 90 deg (45 deg left/right) from your lower body angle with mouselook. Your lower body doesn't move at all. This seems more realistic and works well, e.g. on ladders and mounted HMGs.

2. Moving forward will auto-center your lower body (speed subject to test), while moving backwards will auto-center your upper body and first-person view. In effect, if you wanted to check your six, you would use a combination of #1 and #2. This works quite similarly to vecicles and three-point-turns.

Vanilla prone is so unrealistic when you actually spin around your hips. To make matters worse, when you're beside cover, this "spinning" has a higher chance of clipping the cover and exposing your legs (through the wall, etc.).

While proning is a defensively superior position, this will further make up for lack of mobility. Crouching will then have more use than before.

Something like that.

i sugested something kinda like this..but they said that it wasnt really quite possible iirc

How about no firing while moving prone?

Though that sound like it's hardcoded...

taht doesnt sound like such a bad idea....but the bf2 prone movement has to change..its like you have your dong in the ground and u use it like a pivot and do 180 degree turns like nothing on the ground

I think this is all hardcoded, but its still a great suggestion.

Raven shield had a great prone system works just like you are saying.

Btw isn't this a resuggestion?

Oh, oops.. I did a search for 'prone' before and it returned a bunch of irrelevant results, so..

BF2 has no 1p prone animations and we and we cant' create any , sorry mate. Believe me we'd have it set like you suggested if we could.

im not too woried about the animations..but more about the movement restrictions

But, FH2 did this too right?

One positive thing is that I think they've majorly modded the prone deviation, so I don't think the whole prone diving and shooting after crawling thing should be so much of a problem now.
