Would it be a good idea?

I don't understand why you're looking at my profile. Just back off, and nobody gets hurt, okay?

sure, whatever.

you have weak creativity for a response.

no. I'm all for new ideas for Halo, but remember one thing: Halo's MP is all about fastpaced action. Laying prone causes 2 things:

- slowdown of pace (which will be negative for the one laying prone: you are slow while everybody else is bunnyhopping their @$$es off and moving a lot faster than you, making you an easy target)
- laying prone promotes camping = bad.

Also, laying prone might also increase the amount of tea-bagging...in places where you really don't want it to be... think about it.

HAHA very true for the teabagging but possibly for just campaign ?

;)

In campaign I wouldn't mind it too much, as long as Bungie comes up with some scenario in which it would work well...why not?

Looks like somebody's been down here with the ugly stick.

I can't say you have much to say about going prone, but your creativity may be strong.

Anyways, it would bring a new perspective about hiding.
Maybe it would be a pain in the ass to search for somebody in prone.

But you can go prone in most other FPS games, and I don't see any big problem in spotting them.
And in Halo, it is very easy to spot players hiding.
If you use your eyes.

So, it would maybe work, maybe not.
If they put it in the game, I hope they make an cool animation when you crawl forward/other direction.

It would really require more thinking on terms of level design.

Look out.... -boom- (headshot)
I told you to look out, but know, you got in my way, was going to shoot that splaser....

-goes prone, hides in a bush, pulls out a sniper rifle, and starts camping.-
