Prone(ing)

[Grits178]

I know there have been many topics like this but why exactly do we not have the prone feature implemented into the game yet?

Coding?Models?

[maggie]

We have to have the player model perfected first, then we can start dealing with player model animations. Because of the massive amount of time and labour involved in this, prone will not be implemented for the initial public alpha release.

[outo]

Why do we have to have prone anyway?

[Mr.D]

Firearms without prone is like ice cream without a bowl or cone.

Pick your analogy, but prone has been a part of FA since like.. forever.

[reprobait]

The player base is now too old not to have proning.......... :)

[pandafix]

proning is an art that some will never understand.

[Mr.D]

I actually liked having prone in the game, made it easier to kill ppl..

For starters, people would usually sit still or be moving very slowly while prone = easy target, their head is usually the only target you can see when they are, and the recoil and accuracy bonus's weren't really strong enough through all the RC's of FA for it to really give an advantage to the prone player.

Only really bad things that came from prone, were the few versions that had prone strafing where the player model would be doing a funky dance as he moved, and helmet camming on a few maps that never got fixed.

So lets call it a "necessary evil" type deal :D

[FaKToR]

I always liked jumping on their backs and stabbing them in the head.

[DysPatch]

in your dreams mister faktor. moar liek i would fake prone and then when you jump on me to hump my i would put many of lead bullets in yo face.

[Grits178]

haha so true dys

I totally agree with you there, Mr. D. Without prone, its just not FA... :(

[Parallax]

And without that... it's like CS:S...

The Hippy is saddened...

[waisted menkey]

prone is a natural way for the body to manipulate particular weapons.

since FA is about weapons it's only natural to include something as natural as prone.

:|

[undertone]

i want pooping next after prone. its natural no?

[Jaronimo]

if pooping helps you "manipulate particular weapons" then, yes

[undertone]

well, if you *really* have to take a crap, i cant imagine it being as easy to control recoil or aim as effectively.

[maggie]

Poop isn't a weapon?

[pandafix]

What about using your poop to increase the effectiveness of your cam in a durandal window?

[chuckybob]

monkeys throw poop with great accuracy. needs moar menkey class.

[Jaronimo]

poop in mortars could really piss the enemy off:)

[waisted menkey]

it sounds to me like you guys are really onto something.

here's my suggestion:

1) someone converts RapidFire's FA Menkey Hax player models (which I still have somehow)
2) create nice pewping "crouch" animation
3) produce code where crouching adds a grenade to your inventory
4) new grenade model, oddly resembling a mooky stick
5) make a grenade only map

result:

endless hours of poo flinging fun.

i'm sure this wont make it into alpha, beta, or the final release, but it is certainly 3rd party request model worthy imo

Replace ammo boxes with porta-potties.

bizon fires diarrhea stream (or steam?)

bandages will actually be tp

[chuckybob]

we should release all of this in a poop pack expansion.

PooP:Source ....played by Assholes everywhere?

[Jaronimo]

"poop, and lots of it"

[Loké]

The knife could be a bog-brush. Or plunger.

Or dry one. D:

[Jaronimo]

medics will carry pooper-scoopers

[Loké]

Warcry: SHIT HAPPENS!

[Jaronimo]

when you fire, it also sounds the battlecry

[pandafix]

we'll need hazmat suits for 5 credits.

[chuckybob]

or just janitor suits for 2 or 3 + gloves for 1 or 2.
