Not my idea, but a friend's that I thought was cool.

An FPS where people respawn on each side, but their bodies don't disappear. Games would theoretically last a while to allow a large amount of bodies to pile up, and players' behavior would change as the game went on. Is that just a pile of dead sniper bodies on that building, or is there a sniper hidden in them getting ready to pick you off? Mind games ensue.

I foresee lag, teebagging and general desecration.

A point-n-click adventure game set in the Halo universe. I just want to see where an idea like that would go.

Actually, a point-n-click set in the universe of any fast-paced action game would be a cool thing to see just for curiosity's sake.

Total war games can handle thousands of corpses.  As long as you didn't make the physics objects (such as ragdolls, the way TTT does it), and had some theoretical limit on how many it could handle to prevent intentionally crashing the server, it shouldn't be that bad.

And no suicide button. Because people would abuse that so hard.

But what about friendly fire? Besides, making bodywalls is an innovative and fun kind of activity.

I can imagine the briefing as they send the soldiers out
"Okay soldiers, you are going to run out there and kill yourselves, forming a wall of corpses. If you refuse to comply, your comrades will ensure that you end up dead in that wall. And before you think of taking your chances running, if we are forced to kill you, your internet history will be published on government websites.
Any questions?"

So no grenade cooking? Or grenades that hurt you period?

[WillowLuman]

I think he means no menu button that kills you. Holding a grenade until it explodes could be nerfed by making it blow you into impermanent gibs.

[Sergarr]

So... impromptu "smoke" grenades? Made from finest gibs.

[EnigmaticHat]

You could run each game with a set amount of lives on each team (AKA each player has a limited number of respawns and either new players can't join, or they have to take over the amount of lives of a player who left) and that way there is a finite number of corpses.

And then you could make it like Hero Academy and have abilities that affect corpses.  Blow them up to damage people, incinerate them to get rid of them without a trace, revive them to allow a dead player to spawn in the middle of the battlefield.  Cause all the corpses to rise as zombies.  That kind of thing.

...This has departed a bit from the original premise.

mmmm baby backed ribs.

I think someone already posted that a while back...

The Hidden mod for HL2 is a tiny bit like that.  A team of soldiers has to take down an escaped science experiment who's almost invisible and has a knife.  It has a lot of horror tropes; for example the Hidden can run away with corpses and drain them for health by attacking them, or hang them from walls to scare people.  Or use them in more creative jump scares, like dropping them from a hole in the ceiling.

Here's a video of it.
