I think when you die in multiplayer, your screen should stay looking at you but move to an angle so that you can see who killed you and where they were. I hated it when you just got killed in halo 1 that you would just die and have really no idea how you got killed (where the other guy was) when you died. Kind of like counterstrike now

Good idea or no?

I just say more power to the person if you don't know where they shot you from. Major ownage . . .

no i wouldn't like it. when you die in real life do you know where the person who killed you was?. i like know who killed me (via the kill spam built into the HUD) but i dont want to know where they were/are

well just so you know, halo isnt real life

and also the snipers have the air trail behind every shot... so it doesnt give you away, you already know where they are coming from

like when you die in counter strike you can see anyone

but since there's a few seconds till you spawn again
the camera will be on your killer

then again it will give away your spot if you're sniping

i know halo isn't real life and you cant know who killed you when your dead in real life but i like it that way in Halo2, i just would rather not know where from the enemy killed you thats a bit over the top.

Yeah I think the death animation are good enough, except for the stupid wobbling roll on the ground MC makes when he gets hit by a rocket launcher head-on.

Death animations like the aaaah spin when you get sniped are brilliant; dead bodies being able to swing their arms in the air after consecutive blasts somewhat funny but lame, lame!

I would love it if the blood spilled was more gory; it would be so awesome to have bodies explode on a rocket blast and splatter everywhere; imagine what a map would look after a while with not only bullet holes but "cool looking" blood everywhere. The blood they have in halo is not very convincing.

what a noobish idea. if ya cant find the guy, hes good. this whole game requires skill, and if you cant find the shooter, you need to practice.

The blood in Halo IS realistic. And yes, the death animations suck. I think if you die in real life, than you like, float up above your body, and all yuor questions about life can be answered. TRYING not to get religious here.

Unless of course you get shot right in the back of the head and you don't get a chance to see the trail. I don't want to see them if they have snipe me or kill be any way I can't see. That builds strategy. Something I would hope you would have a sense of when playing MP.

this has nothing to do with being a "noob" as all you -blam!-s call people

it is just a suggestion instead of looking at yourself dead on the ground..you can see what is going on around you

I didnt suggest it so i could see where the guy is who killed me, i dont give a f.uck about that, i just dont like sitting there, waiting for ten seconds doing nothing, id rather be watching the action and what happens to the guy that killed me...as sholes

hey buddy, u spelled -blam!- wrong and -blam!- too
