Im just wondering why didnt bungie/microsoft add a prone feature to Halo? Not asking anyone to do it though. Just a question........

Maybe they didn't need it. Prone in other games is mostly used to reduce your visibility, but in Halo you'd be pretty easy to spot even if there was prone. So its pointless really.

It's an action game, prone detracts from the high-speed action the game was going for.

Yeah, Master Chief never needs to go prone, in fact, he hardly ever needs to take cover. He just walks right in and shoots everybody.

LOL. But with prone, the entire Halo Multiplayer/Singleplayer experience changes though. Eg: Blending in with the grass on Valhalla or Rocky surfaces on Standoff if there were prone in H3

Yeah with shinny Spartans that stick out like sore thumbs.

This is Halo. Taking cover's for wimps. You have giant energy shields, and you don't die when people shoot you a thousand times.

I second this motion.

Prone isn't very viable because only 1 weapon can probably take out a prone guy - Sniper rifle-

what about the 'nade spam in H3??
Nades down the rocket corridor!! (or camo spawn... if you do)

Haha, "Shiny" wouldnt be a term I'd use. Once on Halo 3 on Standoff, this other player was so well camouflaged in between some rocks that even on theatre mode, it's kinda hard to spot him.

And yes, grenade spams also kills the person.

The sniper bullets leave traces, so if some1 sees it, you are pretty ded ^-^

Prone sniper guy vs high speed hyperactive prosniper spartan
hummm too difficult :/

any heavy weapon could kill a prone guy.
not to mention vehicle drivers randomly geting bonus kills by driving in the grass.

^this^

lol. i was thinking of making a prone animation for a sniper ima make.

The only time I have seen prone in Halo is in Halo 2 in the beginning of the level in Old Mombasa.
But prone is only good for cutscenes.

or well camouflaged sniping which is what i'm going for. ima put leaves on the armor and sniper and silence the sniper. the only thing u'll see is a tracer not a direct smoke line to your position lol.
