Stuff I Want In Games #1

Another 'I Want' occured to me today, regarding gameplay immersion etc. Another one for first person shooter games. Basically, when you die, the game continues on. You can press 'start' (or whatever) to bring up the dialogue box allowing you to auto-load, load manually or quit. After you die, the camera zooms out from your corpse, and you can turn it around a bit. Despite you dying, the NPCs around you continue to fight. If you're close to enemies / solo on a mission or something (or non squad FPS games like Fallout, Deus Ex, Crysis 2 etc), if an enemy sees your body they'll come up to you and deliver a finishing shot. Or maybe kick your body a bit, check for a pulse, then loudly declare you dead. Perhaps some NPCs might drag your corpse into a corner or closet to get it out of the way. If you're in some sort of squad based game (but not necessarily in control of the squad) like Call of Duty, Battlefield or something like that, your allies will continue to fight even though you're down. If they see you go down, they might yell something about it. "Jimbob's down," followed by, "Someone check him" or something. If there's a safe gap in the fight, someone might come over to your corpse to check you over - check for pulse, or - if killed by a headshot or something really obvious - just glance and leave you. "He's dead," or "Headshot". By defalt, after the interractions with your corpse have finished, the screen fades to black and gives you the respawn / quit dialogue box alone on the screen.
