Battlefield 3 Info Blowout: Prone confirmed for consoles and more
In case you haven’t played Battlefield 2, you should know that going prone before your opponent resulted in you having an advantage over him. Since everyone mastered the art, the gameplay slowed down to a crawl and it was not fun at all. In Battlefield 3, prone is confirmed for consoles as well, and don’t take me wrong but most console multiplayer games are filled with campers.
I am really excited to play BF3 on my PS3 but giving the console players prone ability is not a wise decision at all. If Dice really wants to add prone, they should make sure that the animations are such that, it takes a while to get up. This ensures that people don’t abuse it.
Take a look at the video “Dolphin Diving” in BF2,DICE has confirmed that it won’t be possible to do so in BF3, but it was hilarious when people were abusing it.
