Okay, I have been gaming for 2 decades, starting with a Commodore 64, going through all of the 86 series, Pentiums, and on and on etc.  I enjoy gaming, but do many other things with my life.  I am 44, have had 4 heart attacks 2 open heart surgeries, and have children.  My escape from life is reading, fishing, tactical shooting, CCW, and movies.  Currently my favorite game is BF2.  I have never been able to do something in the game that I see all the time.  I'll face all the flak I'll get for asking a lame question that must be in the manual but I can not find it.  How the hell do you quickly lay down for a more accurate weapon, and do 1 to three rolls in either direction.  I'm not a kid with all kinds of friends that know all the gaming stuff, I'm just an old fart that likes to put a bullet into a guys left eye, or revive them in combat since I am a Paramedic in RL.  I have searched and cant find out how people do it.  When I try I can lay down with z and I can shinny or on my belly left or right with A or D but I don't do a quick roll maneuver to throw off my opponent.  Would some one tell me how to do that maneuver please.  I don't have a lot of time to game with work, family illness, volunteer work, and outdoor activities, but when I want to blow some stress and game with some old war buddies, we aren't as computer literate as you younger players?  Can you help me out, so I can get some kills and blow some steam with you better players.

BTW this is the worst game I have found with people whoring helicopters, command, or jets, and slamming new people.  Hell we were all noobs at one time.  I always try to answer questions if I can and help people out.  It make the game funner, and gives you better competition down the road.  BF2 is a damn good game, as was The old Tom Clancy series, from Rainbow 6, to Ghost Recon, from Joint Ops to Unreal Tournament 2004.  Help a noob out show him the ropes and get more people interested in a fun activity I know they are frustrating, but by helping and educating them you enhance your own playing.  If everyone of us helped some noobs instead of whining about them, we would all be working in a cohesive manner, with every player do the right thing at the right time, and the competition and thrill of playing would be much greater. Don't forget to get outside and do some physical activity, don't become a lazy nation of geeks, but men and women of skill in physical stature and in technical ability.
Well start slamming me, for having a stupid question and for speaking my mind on how to improve this game, but hopefully some mature people will help a fellow gamer out.  And hey don't forget our guys and gals on the line right now, fighting and dying for real so that you have privileges to game, while the assholes in Congress try to take those very freedoms away from us!

The roll is solely an animation and doesn't actually do anything.  The hitbox doesn't roll, your aim doesn't roll...nothing rolls except the animation.  Naturally since you can't see yourself in 3rd person, you can't see yourself doing the roll, but I assure you, you've done it before.

it's just a strafing prone animation, you dont see yourself do it.  if you see someone do it, don't be fooled, keep shooting because they are.

After a year+  it isn't necessarily vehicle whoring.  if they're a high ranking player they likely have a lot of experience in vehicles and are best suited to helping the team win with those vehicles.  After a year of dealing with EA's bullshit there is a lot of bitterness and anger in the BF2 community.  Everyone, at one time or another, has been screwed over.  Very causual gamers should expect a lot of frustration and an extremely steep learning curve.

why did you write, like an essay, for a simple question?
Wow 44 and 4 heart attacks ?
Seriously do you eat a bucket of crisco for dinner ?
When I'm near death and need a EMT can I ask to not get the obese heart attack magnet ? ^^
Your name Fred Sanford?
