"In the end all you sold us was boredom." -Andrew Schwabb

I am tired of seeing all the aliens (especially brutes) doing the same thing over and over for animations. It is especially annoying that they seem to not react at all to things that they should react too.

Like when Brutes get stuck with grenades, they don't care! They don't do anything!

I think it would be awesome if characters had dynamic animation sequencing. So, for example, as a brute is being stuck, it would interrupt its current animation and initiate a new "get it off, get it off!" arm flailing animation where the brute is trying to shake off the grenade...or something of the sort

Do you think this is something that would be possible/value added to enhance the emersiveness of the gameplay in future games such as Reach. Doesn't have to be just for brutes, it could be any/all characters (brutes, elites, grunts, etc)

gametrailers video

The animation sequence I was referring to occurs at 2:19 into the video.
Yeah I totally forgot about the marines doing that, why they don't do it with covie AI I don't know.

Exactly! If I was about to charge someone and i got stuck with a grenade, I would freak the -blam!- out!! I would try and shake it off, or something. It would be nice to have that added realism that felt candid and not canned.

wow, that looked sick!! I really hope that is what Reach is shooting for!

the most annoying animation I have ever seen in a video game is in the MP of halo (EVERY halo game, from CE to 3).

when you get killed by an explosion, you're sent away flying... with your arms and legs moving like you're swimming in the air.

Hell yes is that annoying. Like I am alive long enough to flail my arms and legs like an idiot until I hit the ground and magically stop moving...lame. Ragdoll/comparable PLEASE
