Player Position???
Im curious whether more players go through the map in the standing position or in the crouch position during the game? is there an advantage to either one in a fire fight? is it easier to get head shots standing and strafing/running and guninng in the stand position? or do most players stay in the crouch position?

For me it really just depends on the map and what the plan is.....if were in crossroads or a demo. map and were staying back then i usualy crouch and use that so i can just hide behind stuff fast....but if im rushing or playing sandstorm i usualy just stand up the whole time

I like standing.. if you're crouching in a fire fight and u reload, sometimes you will stop and crouch to reload, while when your standing you can keep moving while you reload.

I agree with the "The Kid." If you are in crouch position, you stop moving and reload which makes ou an easy target. Also, dropping into prone is easier if you are standing up.

I feel that the standing position gives you more control over your guy. If you crouch you have to stand up when you move and then you might stop moving when you reload. I would go with stand so you really wont run into these situations.

For those of us blessed with a good Surround sound, we can hear your every move. But if you're smart, you'd croutch and slowly move around when you don't want to be heard. This works well on maps such as Death Trap and Enowapi while you're running through grass.

Precisely what I do, when sneaking around I crouch. Thus making it harder to hear me moving around. Also theres less surface area for an enemy to spot me.

As soon as get into firefight right up close and personal and stand to get the "mobile" reload. (rather than stopping on one knee)

I immediately stand up no matter the board. Helps when you need to throw grenades from a distance.

if you stand you shoot faster with an m16 its really weird it sounds different to. and for the 552 sd it seems to shoot faster in crouch. i know this sounds retarded and it is, but its true.
