Wasn't this suppose to happen in Spearhead? I thought so? Talk about a let down.

No it's not to much of let down for me, I go prone everytime I'm killed.

prone oh you mean that thing that might make the portable mg-42 halfway useful? nah, they won't take the time to actually port third person animations from sp into mp and add simple camera coding for a $30 expansion pack or at least this one. i was surprised they even included the rifle whip.

I like the fact that they can't go prone behind the MG-42, I can at least get one easy kill. The only problem I have with the rifle whip, is when I switch back to a sniper rifle, go to whip someone and all that happens, is me looking through a scope at a rifle butt coming down on my head.

i think they dont allow you to whip with the sniper rifle because it would bump the scope off course or soemthing eheh

you can't whip with the sniper rifle because the scope is the secondary attack, adding a third attack would actually mean adding code.

I know you can't, but after using other weapons I forget and hit the right mouse button anyway.

i know you know, but spear-in-my-head didn't know, so i said that so he would know, you know?

Low spark · 11-21-2002, 07:06 PM

Yeah, now I know that you know that I know, I hope Spear in the Head knows now that we know he didn't know . It's always good to know what someone else doesn't know, you know

Captain Canuck · 11-21-2002, 10:52 PM

I'd rather not know, becausing knowing adds a certain degree of knowledge, and frankly, I can't stand that.

No, we were able to question someone from EA a month or so back about this, and he said only enemys would be able to go into the prone. He didn't give a reason why we wouldn't.

I know the reason

EA made the game

uh did EA ever say any of these things would be put in the xpack or prone for that matter ?
fuckit i wanted nightvision but since nobody said id get it i dont feel very ripped off.

Bazooka_Joe · 11-27-2002, 02:03 AM

Nah, it was all rumor. Just like how SDK was sopposed to ship with it. People probably saw that the Germans went into the prone, so we would be able to, also. You know?
