I dunno, but maybe 50 bodies on a map? Whatever, the more, the better!
The SPARTAN, PLAYER and ELITE, PLAYER are dead bodies of you. That way, if you want a certain armor combination, you have to wear it yourself, and then choose that option. If you want a dead Master Chief on your map, you gotta dress up as chief for the Forge game. If you want a dead Brotherhood of Steel soldier on your map, you must dress as one. If you want a dead BOB on your map, you must dress as one.
And as long as you dont delete it, you can forge one spartan, leave, change into your regular armor, and the one you forged will stay the same.
These bodies would also be compatible with the NORMAL, FIXED, and PHASED options. They wouldnt be stuck in the same frame like statues either. The arms, legs, and the rest of the body would be moveable. Nomal bodies act as expected: ragdolls. Fixed bodies are fixed to a certain spot; like some bodies in Campaign. Phased bodies can be fused into objects.
Hands hanging on to ledges. Legs hanging out of walls. Bodies would be epic for Infection, and Machinimas.
