About bouncing bodies...

I've noticed that it doesn't happen to troops that get killed by snipers. They fall down and stay down.

What seems to be happening is that dead soldiers are falling down and ending up with parts of their bodies below ground level, and the ground then 'throws' them out. Sniper victims do this too, but for some reason they aren't thrown out and just lie down, so maybe if all death animations do whatever the 'sniped' death animations are doing, the bodies won't bounce about like inflatables.

I realise this isn't the most pressing concern, but I thought I'd share that in case Relic don't already know.

The problem is that the deaths are animated, but after the animation they transition to ragdolls. The animation might go into the ground, and that's why they 'bounce'. I'm not sure if there really is a way to fix it without redoing the animations though.

I don't think they'd have to re-do the animations, as the problem isn't the animation iself but what happens to the model after it plays. Sniped soldiers can end up sunk into the ground or even slightly above it, because they don't ragdoll. That could be as simple as changing 'true' to 'false' for all I know.(Shouldn't they only ragdoll from explosions?)

Anyway... it's up to Relic what to to with the information I suppose. Assuming they didn't have it already.

If two bodies get their crotches intersecting, then they both start levitating above the ground while spinning in circles. Ive seen this happen too many times.
