The thread name states it all - I'm wondering if theres anyway to toggle crouch on/off instead of holding, because there are times when...

A. Sitting in a tank and you KNOW you don't want your head up for extended periods of times.

B. You hate the BF2 engine and hiding in a corner may leave your legs hanging out so I am holding crouch for a long long time usually in a defensive area...

Save my left pinky please.

That would be a great idea

For this very reason i have one of my thumb buttons on my mouse as crouch. I can hold couch continuiously with no pinky strain.

I know this has been asked b4... i'm sure with some editting of key binding files etc you could get this working.

(and off topic,.. jesus Doom, from your sig stats, a 36 death streak... what mission were you on? lol)

Would be nice if there was some way of toggling it so I can do other things without holding it down, probably not possible though (I like having to hold it down most of the time).

I heard of people creating macros to dolphin dive back in vBF2, so perhaps there might be some way of creating some shortcut.

How about the other way round though to represent the fear of sticking your head out?

You get on the gun and are safe inside but unable to fire, you hold shift down to popup and then able to fire?

actually there is a way to toggle crouch. you only need a macro
for the ones that dont know what a macro is.. http://www.autohotkey.com/

I dont use it but i know it can work, you need to do some scripting
and your good to go

Yeah 36 death streak was playing oman, I was trying to end the round as fast as possible so I commited suicide about 36 times.... and got a purple heart for it

I didn't think of using a macro - not a big fan of background programs - and reverse-crouch is a good idea whomever said it ( Hold crouch to pop UP in tank 50 cal )

yes....

theres an exploit in xfire, if you press your xfire key while crouching, then press xfire key again, you will stay crouched.... its very uesful in tanks and when moving around crouched

And Xfire key would be Scroll lock+X?

That does seem pretty reasonable actually, time crisis styley and that. I assume making it togglable for when your on foot is hardcoded though, so a macros probably the only way to do it.

Toggle crouching is hardcoded? wth, what isn`t hardcoded in BF2? ridiculous.

I don't know for a fact it is, but I'd imagine it's the kinda thing that would be. It seems like you can add more controls to BF2 to me anyway, unlike half life and such where you have a list which you seem to be able to add to to your hearts content.
