I'm one with the warrior inside. The evidence can't be denied. The entire world will stare. Into this battlefield tonight. As I stand before you with a warrior's heart now. I can feel the strength that will Ensure my victory this time

If we had the ability to "Go Prone," then we'd better be able to Curb Stomp people.

You forgot a "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" option.

Halo is already relatively slow paced, there are already plenty of places to hide, and there are already enough campers out there, not to mention the advatages it would give to HLG.

I say we should be able to monkey crawl (google it) but a little lower to the ground with a nice small/medium sized weapon in our right hand, so it would kind of impede our aiming but would allow more accuracy.

Don't hate... ...loathe.

The point of the prone postion in real life is to mostly to improve aiming and to make a smaller target.

There is no need to enhance aiming.

Prone would make a larger target at close to medium range due to the high jumping ability of spartan's and elites compaired to a squating position. So what it would held is sniper camping.

RIP Halo 2 Multiplayer

It would be pretty awesome, but I'm not sure that the gameplay would feel right if it were in Halo.

yes because you could actually hide behind cover and not get shot

(1)the only way to escape death is death itself.
(2) pwn the world bungie
(3) never give in to BS, your always going good in your own way.

yeah, this idea would mostly likely encourage camping instead of getting rid of it. I know lots of games have prone in it, but i don't think prone is for halo. Crouching is quite enough if you ask me.

Well, heres another idea that I had just then:

Do you want a run button?

It would be quite useful in running for cover, but you cant run too fast as it would break gameplay.

  • 11.20.2009 11:25 AM PDT

Going prone is stupid. You are just asking for someone to come up and jump on your spine till you die. It doesn't make you any harder to hit at all. In fact, the only thing they can hit is your head, and it isn't going to be moving around really fast, so you die.

"They let me pick... did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research. Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others you were strong and swift and brave, a natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck."
—Cortana to John-117

I think prone would be nice, it would making going across open areas with no cover easier(Wait, it is like no cover in every map. :S) it would also make your self blen in more when trying to snipe and such. Also, camping is completely 100% a legit strategy!

As for the "runing" button, I really don't see why. Spartans already go faster than an average person sprinting, I believe also, Spartans run faster than some cars. Not 100% sure about that one.

And in Halo 3, I barely think that you 'run' faster than a human. It bugs me after a little while playing CoD :P

(And please don't give me the 'oh it'll be like CoD' crap, cause a lot of games have prone)


List them.


List them? Okay.

Metro 2033
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Medal of Honor: Vanguard
SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs - Tactical Strike
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2
Battlefield 2142
Battlefield 2
Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault
SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs
Battlefield 1942
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2

I could go on ... but I can't be bothered.



Thanks. Genuinely didn't expect more than about 5.
However, my point does still stand. Halo doesn't actually need to have prone, and in my opinion would change gameplay for the worse. The only non-camping use is hiding behind very short cover, but since most halo games don't have short cover, we can expect the same for Reach.

But that's just my opinion.


I've put maybe. I dont have a problem with camping, but it would be a bit too easy to camp if you could prone although it would make gameplay a bit more varied.

So yeah, maybe. Lets see how things work out.

Oh and btw, that was some serious pwnage in the quote =P

sounds good for sniping but using the sword or Ghammer in MM would be hard lol

  • 11.20.2009 2:13 PM PDT

the crouch? its perfect for teabagging lol

  • 11.20.2009 2:20 PM PDT

"No Survivors"

I think that Prones a good idea,I like on halo 2 with the Snipers telling mastercheif in the pelican " The LZ looks hot sir, wait... whoa" que massive scarab tank that makes chief crash lands.

I want to be a Prone sniper... :D

Try playing a game of snipers where you stand still while you are firing from cover. Even if there are bullets flying around your head you are not allowed to move until your enemy is dead. Even if you know someone sneaking up from behind you are not allowed to turn around and fight him. Tell me how that works out.

We have been raised for combat...
We carry our banner to our fights...
Alone we are a menace, together we are a threat...
Born to raise hell, live to drop back in it...
Never retreat, never surrender... we are spartans.

I don't know, sounds good and might make you feel like you're in a rush to live... but how fast, I mean it might make you want feel just rush an enemy with that, like you want to board a wraith and someone uses that to get a cheap close up, not to mention multiplayer...

Also... i think i'm the ONLY one who noticed this question... lol!

Head over to Insomniacgamerz.net that place doesn't have many people so you'll quickly become close friends with people while discussing various topics. We offer a lot of benefits such as a capturing service for montages or anything else you want to do with it. We also have a GFX team so you can share or request GFX for free. Some information shouldn't be seen here..so head over to Inomniacgamerz.net for MANY benefits. We are thinking about making a community montage so head over and get yourself known.

Group invites will be treated very poorly because the Care Package is empty.

Perhaps in campaign, were we can see NPC/Enemy snipers going prone to make them harder to spot. If it were used in Multiplayer, Halo would lose its run & gun style of gameplay.

  • 11.20.2009 2:36 PM PDT

-blam!- now that -blam!- would be so -blam!-.

  • 11.20.2009 4:33 PM PDT

I think it's about time it was added to Halo, yeah.

  • 11.20.2009 4:41 PM PDT

Almost a ghost.

Half the people on these forums just say yes to every idea.

I wonder what Halo would be like if every idea on this forum were included.
