I am loving the game. however these are things that make battlefield battlefield and not being able to even just have voice coms is a huge kick in the nuts dice. how can a team play focused game miss oine of it's important things? and dont use crossplay as an excuse since console players have mics too. why is there no leaning? it's been in every bf game since 4 and now it's gone? why? not being able to move while looking down your scope while prone? what is the reason for this as well? if anyone can shed light on why these arent in the game i would love it.

@xMotherloadxUntrained idiot here, I can crawl while completely prone with a full backpack on my back. We had to do that as some sort of nonsense training exercise in the scouts. Forty pound backpack, chest on the ground, slither like a snake. Why can't a specialist do the same, right?

@RaginSam leaning in real life is very real. i understand your position. however leaning is very much taught in the military and police force. it's even in skill shooting competitions.

@Elden_Lord_Mike That’s not really leaning. That’s cutting the angle behind a wall. Leaning in shooters is usually is so overly exaggerated and way to quick.You can maybe lean with a handgun, but definitely not a rifle.The point still stands that it’s unnecessary and only promotes weird head glitches. You can use cover and better positioning, but you’re still vulnerable. It’s a trade off.The more realistic scenario is shooting between objects to completely conceal yourself. No one is leaning on a real battlefield.

No moving while prone and ADS sucks so, so, so, so, so, so, so much. Especially since it's so easy to prone on uneven terrain and for the game to freak out and constantly move around your aim until you adjust just enough to settle down.It feels genuinely awful, why on earth can't our specialists and their special skills just scoot a few feet to the side while staring down the scope of a gun on their stomachs? Movement in general is kinda "meh", going back to play BFV with crouch sprinting and other mobility tools just feels so much better.

No leaning? No VOIP? No ADS moving while prone?

@xMotherloadx Not being able to move while prone is annoying. I can understand why they may have done that, but they should let you move very slowly rather than not at all.

Leaning in BF games has been pretty tolerable. It's one of those features I always argue against, because it's just a way to head glitch. I have never seen anyone "lean" in real life holding a rifle. I can't find a picture of video of someone actually using a gun like that. Not that realism is a must in Battlefield. I think the game is better without it for balancing. Less head glitching and just popping in and out of cover with not much consequence.

@xMotherloadx I can see that with a pistol, maybe.

Have any resources? Literally every time I search I can't find one single picture of a real person leaning with a rifle. Seems like it would throw you off balance. I see people rounding corners or maybe peeking around a corner, but not looking down their sights or anything.

Just because you specifically have not seem videos of people leaning and shooting from cover and concealment with a rifle does no not mean it doesn't happen, and has a matter of a fact being able to do so increases your survivability in a gun fight, it is absolutely necessary and is taught to those who carry a gun professionally, IE military and law enforcement.

Lol It's still leaning, if you body is behind cover while you aim outside of it, it is leaning out of cover, wether It's with a pistol, rifle or, shotgun it doesn't matter.
You're speaking of cutting or pieing or corn wich is related to leaning from cover or concealment but it isn't the same thing. I don't understand why you keep saying that you cannot do this with a rifle, when you certainly can , the video and pictures displayed it perfectly, have you ever shot one? Have you ever had training on a rifle platform? Do you have a law enforcement or military background? It's completely fine if you don't know what you're talking about dude, as long as you don't as if you do.

Yes he definitely does, because of that is why I referenced him.
