"Work continues at a frantic pace on single and multiplayer. Sometimes to two collide! Lars, the multiplayer designer was playing through on of the single player missions when suddenly he was surrounded by butterflies. 'I thought I was going insane," said Lars. But he asked a programmer - and discovered that some wit had replaced the normal garbage collection routine (the deletion of unused objects like dead bodies and dropped, spent weapons) with a more elaborate one. The corpses of fallen Covenant currently turn into a "flock" of monarch butterflies, with flapping wings. Bizarre. And I'm assured this took about a minute to implement (this statement to head off the inevitable flames from backseat developers)."

In the past Halo titles one of the many things I loved about it was that bodies stayed there and didn't disappear. I loved trying to paint the room with alien blood by hitting the bodies the death and jsut seeing them there let you know if you were backtracking. This paragraph suggests that dead bodies will get deleted? Please say no, it was just another great feature that made Halo so cool!

Dead Bodies aren't fun if they dont have extreme ragdoll physics like the source engine, or the engine used for Hitman, but they also shold never disappear quickly like they did in doom

I don't think he meant they disappeared right away. He probably meant after a while, like Halo 1 and 2.

yea if they want a more -hmmm- well i don't know the word but yea bodies and unused weapons should stay in the game.

lol

I think there should be a limit of bodies in a match.

If there is 4 people max can play in the server, there should be a limit of 4 dead bodies. This is so you could see where your team-mate was killed, by the bodie, and look around the area to see your enemy.

Also say with 16 players avaible to join the server (not 16 in the server at the time..). Maybe only 8 would show on the map. Otherwise lag would kick in.

Basically, the engine wouldnt detect how many people are playing and choose how many bodies would show.. that would be decided before the game starts by someone choosing how many players can play in the server ;];]

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

Ya true I could care less about dead bodies unless they have good ragdoll physics like the source one.

If your player a team slayer game and the score goes to 200, imagine the lag if you have 150+ bodies laying everywhere

Thank you. While disappearing bodies make maps cleaner, it's extremly unrealistic and annoying. Mabye bodies should only disappear in Multiplayer.

yea i think the same. In single player no one respawns, and you don't stay in the same place for very long.

um dude r u being serious or trying to be funny either way ur really really creepy


Dont call him creepy man, I know were he's coming from. I love games when dead bodies and destroyed vehicles dont dissapear it makes it more realistic and awesome plus once you kill heaps of enemies you can look at the havock that you have wreaked on the convenant tossers; kind of like Black except bodies did dissapear after a certain amount of time.

He plays H CE and shoots a dead bodie for fun.
