Instead, just let them pile up on them pile up on the battlefield so we can visually see the escalation of a battle. Seeing the battlefield being littered with corpses would not only be cool, but would also be tactically valuable since it would tell you which areas have the most combat going on so you can possibly avoid. |

I can understand why they can't just pile a ton of bodies around for resource reasons, but how about little piles of dust? |

As much as I'd love it, the issue's already been addressed. Even just the backpacks left behind in games like PlanetSide can add up quickly in terms of resource usage. It's just not viable, which is why bodies disappear so quickly in pretty much all games, and why you see very little if any destructible objects or environment in any game that has any real scale.
It'd be nice, but it's certainly not viable, at least not on current PC and PS3 hardware, and with current bandwidth limitations in many places (especially the US, which is actively moving backwards). |

Atleast in Dust there is an animation of the body being consumed by nanites instead of just disappearing. |

I'd like to see planet corpse collectors go about cleaning the wreckage. We got vehicle ships, why not little robots come out and disassemble bodies and vehicle husks? |

We should try getting in a game, and have no one press O to suicide when they die. If theres no lag at all, this may work. Barely. |

Not a valid test. Doing that means there are no more bodies in the game than before everyone died. The whole point is that as time goes on you end up with more and more bodies on the ground, but the players keep coming back, so the total assets in-world keeps increasing. What you're describing doesn't increase or decrease the number of assets in-world, and thus would have zero value or use as a stress test or proof-of-concept. Sorry :( |

This probably won't happen due to:
A) It will inevitably clog up resources and make for some latency/lag issues.
B) It might conflict with the projected T rating for the game. |

The rating is a good point, it would definitely complicate making it global. Germany is a great example, as its laws are why corpses in Crysis are effectively immobile mannequins once the game decides that character is dead, in stark contrast to the interactivity of EVERYTHING else on the island, even a freaking sea turtle. |

Lore wise, I think the bodies are destroyed by nanites, so that enemies cannot recover corpses and gather intel on technologies used against them. I've not read Templar One, so I'm not claiming this is actual lore, but it makes sense and fits into New Eden mentality.
I think the current system is really cool, and hope that they don't consider changing it!

There's no mention of it in the book, but that doesn't mean the tech couldn't have been added in short order (even if it would be a retcon).

There's specific mention in the book of characters looking at their own corpse on the ground, from their new body. No mention of nanites destroying them.[/spoiler] |

Cool, thanks for letting me know. I do plan on reading it eventually and look forward to it!
I thought I'd try and rationalise an in game reason for it to happen. Though I'm sure it does have more to do with the technical aspects previously mentioned!
