Add a prone stance
- Thread starter gusone
- Start date
If it reduced recoil more than the crouch it could be useful, but in general that would only be good for crawlers since the upward trajectory of your bullets would not hit targets behind your primary target. That's why I stand up as commando unless I'm shooting crawlers or spraying. Putting as many headshot-level bullets downrange as possible is the Commando's M.O.
It would also take a while to transition to prone stance, so tactically it wouldn't make sense to keep switching stances back and forth, and I doubt many players would want to be prone ALL the time. Crouch is easy enough to switch back and forth, it's simple, quick and effective. No need for prone, plus you'd have a large body on the ground presenting a larger area to block your teammate's movement.

Prone would be highly useful in Friendly Fire servers. You could also use it to take cover from Husks and Patty.
I'd like it.

Sure, why not. Reduce recoil a whole lot while you're prone. I mean, dang, going prone and reducing your mobility to nothing in this game is way more than enough to balance out drastically reduced recoil.
...just, no dolphins, please? Translation: being prone puts a ceiling on how high up you can aim.

Specimen attack animations aren't made for prone targets, so it would look very, very weird...

Make one? That's two zeds that don't have an existing animation.
FP pounds them and Scake's saw them. Done.

It would definitely be useful on FF servers but most weapons have so little recoil that using prone to get a recoil reduction would be unnecessary. While I don't mind adding it, I wonder how much it would be used, and, therefore, if it would be worth TWI's time to implement this.

im going to say i think they made kf as a modification of Ro, because alot of the RO code can still easily be found. as such im thinking prone would need to be enabled more so then added.

this is definitely not a modification of RO. this game comes from a mod for Unreal, it saw its first release (KF 1.0) in 2005 by Alex.

ditto. But it is a port and it contains alot of RO content so it shouldnt be hard for TWI to code. But what we have to take into account is if it's worth it.

The issue isn't if you can make the player prone, but what needs to be recoded for other things like specs' attacks.

Due to the arcade-nature of KF, I would say a prone position is a little extreme in terms of necessary abilities as a player. I'm rarely crouched in the game as it is because of how much I run around, so I doubt there would come a time where I'd think, "Let me lie down on the floor right here".
imo, it's perhaps better suited to more realism-oriented/PVP titles, where stealth and movement are all the more important. When you're facing AI that know where you are at all times, it seems a little less necessary.

In my opinion, this seems like a fairly good idea. However, as mentioned above it only seems a viable option in friendly fire servers and only really when your holed up in an ally or something (west london gate for example). I don't know if its REALLY worth the time to implement it though.
