    Prone Position. No prone no purchase!!

    The biggest thing I miss from the first Farcry is going prone for stealth. I really enjoyed the way the enemy would try and sneak up on my position but could not find it due to being under cover in the prone position. This also allowed me to think about my next move. I only enjoy the run around like a maniac in games like Doom or Unreal.
    If there is no prone position in Farcry 5, I will not buy the game!!!!!!!!!!

    There is no prone in FC5
    I also liked it in the Instincts series and would love to see it return, it's hard to believe we have a game that has lots of sniper rifles and you can't go prone - but it ain't in FC5.

    I don't see the issue in the single player but it would be an interesting idea to see in action on the multi player

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LW4KwHjrQ0&t=2m36s does seem to mention going prone. Not an official source though, but I guess he got that info from *somewhere*.

    Yeah, may have been something he was told by a dev at e3 during their hands on but has since been cut due to time and/ or budgetary constraints. It's a bit of a bummer I guess for all those sniper type players....

    Naah please... no prone in PvP that would make the game a camper's paradise! (Or ... no prone unless the game would be very well balanced...)

    Camping is something I don't do very often at all, not my play style.
    I played a lot of Far Cry Instincts and Predator that had prone in multiplayer, sure you got a few campers but no more than you normally do - thing is we had weapon placement so if you didn't want someone to camp with a sniper rifle then it was simple don't put them in the maps.

    Just wanted to say that for getting the sample in a Capture The Flag mode (sample been flag) it was very good for getting close to the enemies base then making a run for the sample so prone when used correctly did help, the binoculars if used would tag anyone too - prone campers were never any more of a problem than normal.

    Kneeling/crouching is fine with me. I'm sure with computer programming, if it's easier to program a player to only crouch in the game, that's fine with me.
