The concept might be OK if implemented correctly, but I wouldn't call current takes on it "cheats" either...maybe just a cheap tactic that accentuates poor gameplay.
if airborne does not have the prone function then the game is doomed already. in this day of online gaming this feature has to be in it simple as that. Also EA can make the best singleplayer in the world .but if the multiplayer is not good, no online comunity wil be build and the game wil never be big. campers cheating etcetc wil always in the games whaterver that game may be i just think after the last 2 disasters of the mohaa series breaktrough and Pacific for the pc .EA games owes it to their fans to create a good multiplayer. if not lol there is always call of duty 2 /4 couse those people of infinity ward they know how to make a good single and multiplayer game.
Breakthrough was not a disaster unto itself, people had moved on to CoD by that time. Also, it was a simple expansion to AA, not a new game unto itself like PA or Airborne is. Depending how the peek system works in MP, it may be better than prone because at least you won't have people dolphin diving (or so they claim at least).
Breaktrough is a disaster couse compared to spearhead and allied asault the multi player was not good, sure the singleplayer missions where alright but the multi player was hounted by laggy servers and it never created a online comunity. Screen shot taken today on http://www.game-monitor.com/ first number is players the seccond is max players the third is how many servers indication that braktrough never was big compared to AA or SH and the fact that Pacific asault isent even in this list says enough about that game. And the only reason people moved on to Call of duty is couse breaktrough was just a better looking spearhead and added nothing to the mohaa series at that time.( things like NO Auto download or No punkbuster or that stupid idea of making people create a EA acount that was a disapointment to the fans of mohaa (and lets be honest a system that cod2 uses for the auto download thats is mods heaven for modders) Allied Asault was the best spearhead was better. even tho lots of people play whit breaktrough while connecting to a spearhead server thats no indication that breaktrough was a good game. As for pacific the singleplayer was alright but the multiplayer lol no need to say about that. to get back to the discusion Prone Airbore suposed to be as realistic as can be but no prone in it . maybe your right about the peek system but stil no prone in airborne like what we going to make sniper maps whit all large objects on it so u can peek around it or peek around bushes...
Yes, but CoD2 is a weak console port. People had to mod it just to make it worth playing .... I'm guessing that prone just wasn't working out and had too many glitches to contend with. Prone in other games is less than stellar. If you had big open flat maps it may have worked, but Airborne has VERTICALITY (can't use that word enough). So they probably had issues with all the different angles and such. All that "YOU CAN'T GO PRONE HERE!" would get old real fast.
your right about that about the cod console and also about that the fraze u cant prone gets old. but stil for multiplayer thats what im intrested at .as a mapmaker or modder for making the good sniper maps you are limited already just couse u cant lay down..
Indeed. BT was a great platform for modding MOH, it simply didnt have a chance since people was changing to a new game at that time, (COD) as you said, an BT was an expansion, but TKO did a great job imo. The prone stance, its a pitty they dont implement it, but its better not to have it if its not going to do it well. A very poor argument, but valid i guess.
wel im just disapointed in EA already that u cant prone in Airborne. i just think when u claim to make the game as realistic possible can be and then say u cant lay down like al the other FPS games have these days. but i see you point her kruger know lets hope that the multiplayer is going to be good.
Have u see the new CoD4 MP video, and constantly use of dolphin diving, and this is just in 360, imagine on PCs. New game old habits
yes i have seen the new cod4 video,s and they rock.and their is tons of info about that game around official videos and lot of info about the multiplayer...gues EA dont know how the promote their game. dolphin diving lol nice term..wel thats better then the lame leaning in moh sh and bt>>>>maybe EA and their new peek system brings also the non realisic leaning to Airborne? wiggle wiggle.
I never liked the lean from AA, but SH was much better, so aways played SH instead. "No Bunny Hopping since patch 2.15"
