you know how, when you die by an explosion (grenade, rocket, whatever), you character is sent away in the air... WITH HIS ARMS AND LEGS MOVING like he's swimming in the air?
it's been in halo since the very first game... and I find it to be ABSOLUTELY stupid and annoying.

so you're alive long enough to flail your arms in the air but die when you hit the ground? makes sense... sure, a grenade/tank shell couldn't kill you, but hitting the ground was just too much.

:l who else thinks so?

like the elites pose, when they die. they just look like they're laying on their backs for a minute to sunbath or chill out or something... >.< that looks silly.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Halo 2 actually had real full ragdoll for on the ground deaths, why they removed it I don't know, but Halo 3 actually runs off of mostly animation.

It's kinda stupid but I don't think they should remove it.
Let's take Gears of War for an example:
Did you find limbs flying after you kill someone with Boomshot is really annoying?

I'm not talking of tearing limbs apart, just don't make us flail our arms and legs as if we were swimming when dying...

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

I've always thought the death-swimming to be pretty silly myself. It doesn't bother me enough to campaign against it, but I wouldn't be sad to see it removed either.

HATERS GONNA' HATE

I think it looks pretty funny, and totally fits in with the Halo atmosphere.
