Why cant you prone? Seems odd to take such a basic feature out.

Indeed thats strange, maybe the devs took it out hoping it would reduce camping...? Or maybe you can do it but i just couldnt find out how lol.

Seems weird not to include it. My guess is they couldn't fix that prone glitch everybody used so much in BF:MC so they decided to take out prone all together.

Probably because sinpers would get kind of intense since there's no kill cam.

1. snipers would be way overpowered

2. it would be boring as hell. everyone would just lie in the same place the whole game and anyone with enough balls to actualy attack would get desstroyed.

no.. snipers would not be overpowered.. battlefield 2 had prone.. and i felt the game was very balanced.. i mean sure with no kill cams.. a good sniper can pile up kills with the right spot.. but people will eventually get you.. or you'll end up moving out of boredom when people stop comming to your area.. I used to snipe in battlefield 2.. and the best round i ever had was about 50 and 4.. and thats cause the same guy just kept comming for more..

however i do agree that without prone there would be less camping.. and it just keeps you on your toes.. and i think the game works really well without prone..

That is kinda odd to take it out. But i dont really mind.

I always use the sniper and it seems to be great with all the cover and the size of the maps.

This game actully gives a feel like you in a battle

I cant wait for the full thing.

In the demo, in the Gold Rush games, you have to keep moving no matter if you are defending or attacking. Even as a sniper I would stay in the back of the unit as the squad leader, but I had to keep moving forward because the bases keep moving after taking each over. I wanted to go prone, but some of the grass is high enough to hide in a crouch otherwise.

A very important feature for a BF game.

I was psyched for this game, but now I'm truly disapointed in what the demo has shown. BF2 really set the standard for me, even with its flaws. This game is 3 years later yet comes nowhere close.

i thought it was strange too, and i agree 100% with DWC, however i have 2 questions

1 does anyone else sometimes get a chirping sound? hoping its something in the demo and not my tv

2. how can i tell if my mic is working? do i have to turn the option on like in HAZE's demo or what? from my xmb it says its on and connected, but when im in the game its like people cant hear me
