In Halo 2 will weapons and dead bodies disappear? Like they did, only in multiplayer, in Halo. I hope bodies and weapons don't disappear in multiplayer too for Halo 2!

I know it is dumb when bodies disappeared... That's what i liked about Halo 1 campaigne! I just hope that it will be the same in multiplayer

As much as I like the idea of bodies not disappearing in multiplayer, it might be a somewhat complicated thing to do. Imagine 16 people playing on a small map with 50 kills being the max, thats a lot of bodies for the game to load, and there will basically be bodies all over the floor. So I dont think thats something they can do, and eventhough its unrealistic to have the bodies vanish I think its for the best if they do.

Halo 2 campaign should be the same as Halo's campaign though.

not too many bodies in mp just afew and at a constant level so they don't clutter up 'hot' firefighting areas. great in campaign though

The more corpses there are the more polygons the game has to load. The more polygons there are the more laggy and slow the game performs. In multiplayer the corpses simply MUST disappear (as well as bullet holes and carbon remains from explosions) If they didnt it would lag the game alot.

I think they should at least have a vanishing effect though in multiplayer (like the way Guilty spark teleports into those yellow rings and vanishes) that would look less cheap.

As for campaign, the corpses dont cause the game to lag as much so that should remain the same I think.

maybe if the levels so big and there are so many enemies ones from earlier in the level will dissapear. (its not likely you'll go all the way back to notice it)
