Death animations

In Response To: Re: Halo 4 graphics. Bad? (kapowaz)


: I keep wishing I could enable
: Reach's nightvision, or ODST's VISR mode to give myself a clear outline of
: enemies (which also helps let you know when they're dead — the new death
: animations blur the lines, making it easy to waste a couple of rounds
: shooting an already-dying enemy).

How do you mean "blur the lines"?

More generally, what are the death animations like? In the sequels to H1 I've long lamented the ragdoll death animations which often make an enemy seem like it's suddenly become some sort of rubbery toy, breaking the illusion of a real body. Limbs would flail at inappropriate angles and the body would often settle into an unrealistic posture, lying on the ground like a plastic figurine might, rather than settling flat. Also it might glitchily pop up a bit after seeming to settle. I also missed the comedy of the artfully designed H1 death animations. So how are things with H4? Anything changed for the better?

: Why is the text so small? I'm sat playing 10 feet from a
: 42" TV and it's just nowhere near comfortable enough to read.

Hmm… that's not encouraging to me. It really annoys me when games use text I have to struggle to make out.
