I think there should be dead bodies as a forge idea . Dead Elites,marine,spartins,jackel,grunts. Make it cool to see around the maps by the guns.
HELL. YES.
This would be so awesome for Infection in particular, and for any story-ish modes 343i may introduce.
would be great for machinimas
me gusta!!! um…dead-o bodies-o…uh…por favor?

Dead bodies would be fantastic alongside destroyed vehicles and such.
Um, it sounds neat, but I won’t be using them.
I like where this idea is heading but I hope you can elaborate on it a bit more. If you were to say “select” the dead bodies from forge would the bodies be just plain flat and you place them around the map or, would there be a way to change the positions of the body to fit the atmosphere of your map? Ex. The deceased could sit up against a wall. Any ways great idea OP!

Smashing ragdolls around. Heh.
I like the idea, no reason why it cant be in. Suppose theyd act like a ragdoll for you to flop them around as you like until they are the way you want em. Throw in flood corpses while youre at it.
While we are at it why can’t we throw in live AI? Customs and forge mode only of course but it would still be fun setting an army of grunts against a squad of hunters and etc too many possibilities.
i c dead body forge fights if this happens and it sounds awesome

AI are hard to program with map editors. Either they just stand around or walk forward like idiots or you have to program them for tons of different movements
But dead body ragdolls can work
Great idea! But why not take it further?
Dead bodies nailed to a cross? Smears of blood on different surfaces? Even dead civilians for zombie maps?

And it’d be great for making a ‘scaryish’ atmosphere. I love it, I love it!
All of the comments here are the exact reasons why I would pay an extra $60 for a full blown GECK style map editor for halo, you can program AI, build maps from the ground up, edit terrain, and if it’s ANYWHERE in the game at all you can put it on the map, just imagine the possibilities…
If ragdolls were an option, then I would make a dead space like map. Make the lighting a little dim and it would be perfect, you’ll be unsure as to what to shoot.
Dead bodies in forge? I can easily think of many uses for that. Fantastic idea!

Agreed, this idea is so great, so many good infection games can be made with this and many more good machinimas can be made. I would love to be playing an infection game and jump behind some cover and see a dead Spartan with a cracked heavily blooded visor next to a shotgun or something, with three dead marines with open wounds scattered around, it would add to the whole atmosphere.
P.S, maybe they could have some low background music to add to atmosphere, maybe music from the flood levels of Halo 2 and Halo CE. And from the level “High Charity” in Halo 2.
cool idea but wouldn’t that slow down the game though? I’m just wondering.
I’m all for more options for Forge, but this seems like it might cause lag issues especially if some idiot makes a pile of them.

Yo quiero muerte cuerpo por favor.
I think. My Spanish is both terrible and rusty.
