How do you go from prone to standing so fast?

[Harmor]

I've been watching some REALLY good infantry men and notice that they can go from prone to standing then back again really fast; basically, they can pop up and down over a low wall or rise while shooting a burst while exposed.

I tried doing the kneel, then standing, then prone then kneeling then standing bit, but I can't get it as fast as these guys I've seen.

Any pointers? What's the technique?

BTW, I'm not talking about dolphin diving, as they are not doing this, they just stand up from prone very fast and then back down to prone in one motion it seems...actually it looks like they don't even finish the animation.

just press ctrl and z and get some timing

or bind the prone to a mouse key .. I have mine set on the side button

yeah thats also a good idea, just try it out alittle and you will realize that its pretty easy.

whatever you end up doing, it's mostly just animation/latency thing .. from their point of view, they stand and prone with regular speed, but server gets prone and stand commands with different timing, and skips some transitions while it tries to show whatever stance the guy currently is in

of course, I could be clueless and there actually is a way to speed up prone/stand transitions

Its a bug, exploit. And maybe you havent been out for it, but if you play with "good" players youll realize its all about "pronespamming". Imagine ghosts shooting at you, they kill you but you see nothing of them.

This is a good recommendation. An alternative (my current setup) is to re-bind the left alt key from 3D map toggle to prone (I then re-bound 3D Map to the Windows key). That way if you are using your left hand for the keyboard your thumb is always right next to the spacebar for jump and/or the alt key for prone. I then set one of my side buttons on my mouse to crouch so I can move/shoot easily while staying crouched.

I know about it .. but reason pronespamming is possible, is because of latency and desynced animations

I can't chastise anyone for doing it though .. It still just involves proning and standing, which everybody does a lot in combat anyway, whether they deliberately pronespam or not. Doesn't mean I wouldn't want to get it fixed either.

whatever it is its badly coded and is being exploited, think its the same in singelplayer.

Thumb button on mouse is bound.

I don't think it's Prone/Stand - It's Prone/Crouch/Stand real quick like. Since 1.2 you could no longer Prone/Stand instantly(though it was still possible-sorta). Whatever, it's not a exploit IMO, it's just some fast moving fingers.
