im with ibeechu... i dont know that much about programming... and the only AI code ive seen was for Tic Tac Toe... but i think that is something that would have to be programmed for it to happen... dissapearing is one thing... but getting up and dancing is another...
I did say that it was only a guess. The main reason that I considered it an oddity of the human/marine AI is that I've never seen a grunt, jackal, elite, hunter or flood combat form perform the maneuver.
Again, the reaction that I am referring to is to stand stock still, raise their arms straight out like an "airplane", and to (sometimes) turn in a circle. I found a reference on HBO including a vid [color=white]here.[/color] Wow, this was documented over 2 years ago.
So (to me) it would appear to be unique to the “allied” AI, which is the marines/humans. Besides, what does control a NPC's actions? AI code, isn't it? The link to the HBO forum posts discuss that the “T” stance is a “neutral” or standard stance for a modeled object. They suppose that the game isn’t certain of “what to do” so it poses them in that pose.
Again, this is still just a guess. But I consider it a good guess until I see an alternative that makes sense.
That makes a lot of sense because all (well all the models ive done and seen been done) are modeled exactly like tha. feet together and arms out. but as for spinning around, i have no idea how that could happen. unless it tries to meld two animations together. the game may get confused and go to the neutral stance but with the grenade, it may move the legs making it look like its dancing. as 343 GS would say, "Ah, I am a genious"
