Player can assume 3 or more different postures from upright to crawling, usually upright, crouched, and prone at minimum.

Notable people involved: Doug Church, Warren Spector, Terri Brosius, Hideo Kojima and Pasi Kainiemi

Name variations: Stances

The most interesting cases are when you have 3 or more options, just having upright and crouch not so much.

Examples:
* Upright / standing
* Hunched
* Crouched
* Low crouch
* Crawl (on hands and knees)
* Creep / prone (crawl with abdomen close to or touching the ground)

Most games are limited to upright and crouch and tactical shooters usually add only creep to the list. Top-down games usually have only upright.
