Re: a new trend? Bunny Flop

It was brought back to our attention that there has been an increase in this type of behavior.

I haven't really nitced it. But if an admin did it then ok.

The community has had a discussion and I feel its time that a decision was made.

We have come to terms as a group where we want to go with the tactic, but we have to weed out details at this time. Wording and isolated cases and how to handle some unintended cases.

As of now, I can say that prone spamming in the middle of a open area is prohibited. Prone with use of cover (just like jumping into cover) is still a accepted tactic. There are some details that this doesn't cover and I'm/we are aware. We'll get official terms and rule out to you as soon as we can.

Thanks admins! Ya'll are the best!

Cookies for the admins!

I think going prone once when going Toe-to-Toe with someone and taking them out is valid, in close combat a person may intentionally fall to the ground onto their back or dive to the side and roll then pop a few caps into the enemy, as it cannot be done in the game I think a prone would be acceptable?

Ohh and I love these quotes!

Good to see the powers that be taking everyone's view into consideration, and acting accordingly!

Well, per the current rules proning is wrong if done in an "unrealistic" manner, just like jumping to avoid fire. Otherwise, it should be fine. I think. And hope.

I think one prone is different to bunny flopping, which is more like continuous and repeated diving and then standing.

**Superfast** · 12-05-2009, 12:01 PM

If you are in a squad that sticks together and covers each other, a bunny-flopper here and there isn't really a problem.

Neither is a bunny hopper ...

But their is a difference between getting prone when you face someone and jumping around a corner, hitting prone and shooting. I don't think this is as realistic.
