Do something about prone whoring. It's so annoying.. consistent proning creates warp and it does my head in. So many people do it these days and I believe it's noobish. It's alright to stay in a prone in air and use your boost to fly downwards.. but when you're holding 'x' (prone) and not letting go.. let the warp begin. Maybe the warp only happens to me.. but still its hell annoying.

Suggestions

-Can't shoot while air proning.

-Limited amount of prone in a space of time. 2 prone's before having to wait 5 seconds for 2 more. [only applies in air]

Maybe not the best ideas.. but please, get rid of this prone whoring in the air.

You do realise how much movement accuracy the player has to overcome whilst "prone whoring." There aren't many people out there who have mastered this move and are still able to shoot accurately. Many of them are just worming away with their bullets flinging everywhere, hitting nothing.

I don't know about this one, but I love my worming. Although taking out people can be difficult with their warping.

Too bad, mate.

I think that others shouldn't be "punished" because warping makes your gaming miserable.

I agree. I've never even heard of this issue before.

Uhh, when you hold the prone button, you constantly prone and unprone all the time, making your movement very erratic. I'm not entirely sure you're experiencing lag.

i usually shoot barret in air with prone and it's really useful. it's totally F11 for me on this one

Prone whoring lives on

We love prone too much. AND ITS FREAKING HARD TO AIM WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO DO THE WORM IN THE AIR. D: So like, meh. Prone Whoring is usually just for dodging and making people waste bullets.

My prone buys time, a irreplaceable friend in Soldat.

Whining won't help you win

Agree with Ciesta. And it isn't very popular anymore. And who cares?

edit: Oh, and if fighta had played the situation would have been different!

Therier · « **Reply #12 on:** February 15, 2008, 06:45:54 pm »

And there is also one bug when proning. When you shoot and are on prone, prone won't go off. It would like to be fixed.

Arbiter · « **Reply #13 on:** February 15, 2008, 07:58:43 pm »

...

It's made to NOT de-prone (woot, double negative) when you shoot.

And, who the heck is Ciesta? Another random beta tester that just popped out? There aren't as few as I imagined.

If you were a little into soldat community you'd DEFINITELY know who is Ciesta.

But because you seem to know nothing about this community; Ciesta is one of the best soldat normal mode AND realistic mode player, and he made great breakthrough by winning last sctfl with his clan.

edit: you know, sctfl is not like 4 clan poletournament, it's the biggest tournament in soldat (with tnl, which is not that big, but that's another story).

Carlitos just got his latest warning and is now banned for good! Rejoice!

As for the prone warp, I experience it when playing people with gaping ping jumps. Issuing the disadvantages you mentioned won't help, worming would still be an annoying dodge-tactic - this is a netcode fault, and trying a bypass solution by making it shit won't help.

hmm this suggestion is bad...

Yes · « **Reply #17 on:** February 25, 2008, 11:49:46 pm »

I think you should be only able to stay proned in the air for a few seconds. I mean in real life you can't stay proned in real life in mid air and shoot for like 30 seconds with your back straight.

freeloader · « **Reply #18 on:** February 26, 2008, 12:46:50 am »

Why the hell do people think it's a good idea to bring real life into Soldat.

cunchy · « **Reply #19 on:** February 26, 2008, 03:40:46 am »

IMO, start World War III on an isolated island and brink all the Soldat "realists" there. They'll see how its more fun playing Soldat =]
