Add Prone Movement

Under considerationby CMDR aRcADe · 31 Aug

Allow players to lie fully prone for a lower and more stable firing position. This would provide additional options for taking cover, remaining concealed, and engaging enemies from the ground

    Allows you to lie down and lean when we lying down.

    i think its odd we cant lay down behind a tree or in a corner of a map. We are in a life or death bodycam game for money (I presume). We should get more variables to combat like laying on your stomach though. drones and RC cars are great additions, yet seeing maybe addition of dogs or moving certain objects to change the environment. building a little sandbag spot on the trench map would be awesome or having a teammate help move the shelf in CQB in the hallway. also zombies needs variety too, give us some lore/make it an extraction type mode.

    for snipers for maps like trench it would be nice to be able to pick people off long range while laying down

    Bodycam has carved out a unique space in tactical shooters due to its realism and heavy movement, but the system feels incomplete without the ability to go prone. In open areas or maps with wide sightlines, players are restricted to standing and crouching, making them oversized targets with no way to utilize low terrain. Introducing prone would elevate tactical depth and fit the game's core philosophy. Proposed Implementation & Mechanics Implementing prone requires careful balancing to prevent fast drop-shotting while honoring the heavy physics engine. Transitions into and out of prone should be deliberate and weighted, taking one to one and a half seconds so operators retain physical inertia. Because the camera is anchored to a chest or helmet mount, lying flat angles the perspective sharply forward and downward. When facing low walls or debris, the view should realistically rest against the ground or weapon stock, requiring the player to lift their head or use props to see over obstacles. Furthermore, weapon handling should introduce distinct limitations. Bipods could lock weapons into an ultra stable state for holding long distance outdoor angles, while rotational movement must be physically capped to prevent unrealistic 360 degree snap aiming from the floor without shifting the operator's entire body weight.

  • WoodShoe04 Sept

    yes please, this game NEEDS prone.

  • GGRin04 Sept

    Prone + ability to dive (and I would add to the dive something like faking the death, this has been probably used a lot in wars to surprise enemies)

  • TugzTheAlmighty04 Sept

    this could be good

  • BlahKayTheBald05 Sept

    Being able to lay down and low crawl would add a new level or realism to the Trenches Map

  • Aster05 Sept

    i feel like we should be able to go prone, it would make the game feel more natural and real. i know its the "Bodycam game" and it would be hard to make it good when if you would prone on your stomach the "cam" would face the ground and not forward. but isn't the cam on the helmet? so it would work? either way you could make it so you could prone on your back, both of them should be in the game :)

  • Ethan06 Sept

    Sometimes I wanna lay low and maximize stability. Or maybe I wanna crawl across an area because I don't have suppressing fire.

  • Paul Bäumler07 Sept

    Add laying down to the game, to make it more tactical. Like when someone shoots at you, you would lay down in rl.

  • Aj09 Sept

    I don't think I have ever seen SWAT, FBI, MI6 etc. lie down during their operations inside buildings. Personally, very much against this. The view is already pretty limited and bad in the game due to the rifle position and bodycam viewing angle. Looking down on the around almost every corner will be terrible. Imagine the amount of locations in hospital you can prone in the dark and never be found without a flashlight. At least when crouching or standing, your silhouette can stand out.

  • Zombro0109 Sept

    smaller than crouching.

  • twilight-bacon09 Sept

    I personally don't like this - sniping is already very affective. Additionally it would be difficult to make this look realistic (imo).

  • Tweaker11 Sept

    When you hold down the crouch button or add a key bind that give you the ability to lay prone and army crawl when you move forward would be helpful for snipping and trench map.

  • Sam13 Sept

    Dont think prone should be added. what makes the game intense and fun to me is moving around corners and clearing out rooms. Adding prone will just encourage people to camp in dark corners of the map or snipe from faraway on maps like trenches. If it is added i feel the spawns and game modes will have to be reworked first.

  • mike nolan14 Sept

    i hate the fact than you can only stand or crouch. in real life - if you wanted to lie down behind cover, you can.

  • Hendrik14 Sept

    add the ability to not only crouch but also lay down. that would be great for sniping from far away in trenches

  • DretWAB18 Sept

    Sorry but no, blending in with dead bodies would be way to easy and op, maybe if enemies had red squares around them when close like how allies are green.

  • GrekoGz20 Sept

    On some maps, it would be great to be able to lie flat on the ground, like dropping to the ground when taking fire on the trench map and to fix the camera view so that the bottom half shows the ground and the top half shows the surroundings.
