This glitch appears for the first time in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. Whenever a corpse's body part hangs off an edge, the body part stretches at very awkward angles. An extreme case of this can be witnessed on a level where there are [[stationary shield generator|stationary energy shields]]. If a player standing on one dies, and the shield goes down, the body will float in midair in an extremely contorted manner. This is due to the fact that in ''Combat Evolved'', dead bodies are coded to sag downwards when they come to rest on the ground; if part of a body is hanging off the edge of something, it will stretch out far further than the species would actually be physically capable of. If the body rests off a ledge, the programming of the game tries to bring part of it down to a solid surface, but if the center is on a surface than the game engine won't make the body fall off the ledge. It also seems that Marines' mouths are stretched to an impossible limit sometimes when they die. | This glitch appears for the first time in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]].
