Personally, I've always thought it would be cool if bodies fell realistically or stayed in the seats of the the vehicles, so, for example, a body would tumble out of the Warthog turret or stay slumped in the seat if they got sniped instead of just falling through the floor, but that would probably would require new animations for removing the body when someone else wants to use the vehicle, where this is strictly a physics thing.

Didn't you say you don't respect shooters anymore bro. Kidding- Congrats on that shout out in the update. Remember: There is no possible way to look cool with an Xbox Headset on in the dorms so don't even try. Just do what I did, when the females walk by your room and see that ear piece, reply in a low voice with a pinch of creepy the word "Ladies". Works like a charm.Dax01 said:

Hopefully that last sentence is referring to bodies sliding down and on top of vehicles, actually treating them as solid objects instead of the nonsensical falling through them thing. Which is pretty inexcusable in today's day and age and the current technology available.
Truth.
Truth.

I am surprised Halo is so 'clean'. I mean, would a spartans body remain in one piece after getting splattered with a Chopper? I always wanted to see burn marks on the corpse of a dude I laser'd too haha.
EDIT: I mean, sure it has an M/17+ rating, but what else could dismantelling a spartan do to it?

haha. In the books, the fuel rod cannon dissolves the parts of the body it touches when unshielded. A halo where your arm can get blown off and you could run around one-handed until you bleed out would be epic. And true spartan-like.bobs...onGaf

As much as it would suck from a gameplay viewpoint, I love that idea, they could even increase the bloom if you were unlucky to get a hand shot off to like represent the accuracy loss.
imagine melting an enemy down to the extent that hes alive but cant even move. :lol

Oh yeah, I wouldnt actually want it either. Burn marks and stuff would be cool, but I like that Halo doesnt have to be super gory just to attract attention.
Im looking at you CliffyB
It would be really interesting from a gameplay perspective though. I have posted this before but stuff like loosing the Hud because of getting sensors shot upwould be pretty interesting (even if it would play like crap).

I really hate the fact that they've made the human grenades crap again like they were in Halo3.
I don't think some people, including myself, truly appreciate how good of the maps were until the next big game releases, or until it's gone. Colossus was another map I loved, even nit-picked at it during game-time, but in the end, truly an excellent map for Neutral Bomb, Multi-CTF, Team Slayer BR's, and Team Rifles. I miss it.pringles said:
I still am under the impression some maps, though not all, would work in Reach's abilities. Think of playing Coagulation, and you'll have sprint. If you don't want that, using AL or Camo wouldn't hurt either, especially in a large, open map against vehicles. I would love a large BTB-appeal map in an Overlook-style field. Perhaps make it a canyon like Coag was, or have one side with a huge cilff similar to Boneyard, and the otherside as a cave with a cliff over the horizon.
Removing AA's can also occur for many maps, as I suspect will happen often for Reach MP. Remember they ditched certain abilities for various game-types. Also want some info on Reach's version of Assault/Bomb. Manual arming, FTW.

:lol Not sure if you're serious but I'll indulge. The person not moving (camping) is not on the radar. The person moving (not camping) is visible on the other player's radar. The less ambiguity the riskier it is to move at full speed and the more rewarding it is to crouch around or just sit down and stare at the radar. Camping was horrendous in Reach, not sure if Toymachine actually played the beta but no matter the gametype or the map, camping was a very successful strategy in many instances. I realize many players want the game to do as much of the situational awareness as possible as it's harder for them or they never play on a team that communicates but the new radar is like a borderline proximity enabled icon over everyone's head now. The only saving grace about its new height indicator is that it's ambiguous enough that, for example, someone on Sword Base's shotgun level will show up no differently than someone on red lift level.Kuroyume said:

Actually when folks are above you, you can't tell if they are one, two or three floors above you. You just know they are above. Obviously if there's only flooe above you, you'll know exactly where they are but when it comes to multi-level environments, it can get confusing if you are on the bottom looking up.
:lolNutter said:
It's funny because it's wrong.
Eh, whatever, maybe I'm not remembering one of the exact instances correctly but there are some levels that aren't far enough away that the radar distinguishes the two players any differently then if they were on the same level. Which is a good thing.Dani said:

Maybe you need to borrow or buy a copy of Modern Warfare 2.
Unless you mean relative to OTHER Halo games. Yes, relative to other Halo games, the camping is worse, but fuck me, compared to Modern Warfare 2, it's nothing.

I agree though. I can tell when people were below, but the tiny 'shadow' to show players were a level above was far too difficult to distinguish at a glance.EazyB said:
