Two items I am curious about...

I have not read through all the threads for answers.
From what I have seen there does not appear to be a way to kneel or lay prone. Are there these options? With improvement to accuracy?
Finally, weapon ranges. Is there a reason why standard assault rifles in game do not have an effective range of 200 meters? For a world so large, why not use real weapon ranges?
Just curious.
Thanks

No there is no prone, or crouch. The only cover is by breaking LOS.
And the reason they have an average maximum range of 60m is because melee would stand no chance against snipers.
These are the words from the Devs at least.
And yes I've played the beta.
As stated their is just one firing stance which is standing.
Also yes range is maxed out at 60 m for a number of reasons. First off like bblackwood said it gives melee and other close weapons a chance. Second off is they didn't want senerios where you get ganked from 200 m away by a guy you couldn't see. In a ffa pvp game with loot that would piss alot fo people off.
And, while the world does have open areas, thier are also alot of closer quaters areas like canyons, dense forests, run down cities etc so it's really not too noticeable and the weapon range feels about right.
Great, thanks guys. It makes perfect sence.
The range makes sense but seriously, why no crouching? lol
