1) Does the game support real-time physics?

“The Rag Doll Physics engine for our game will imitate real-life physics. If an enemy dies, that enemy will react based on his environment, where he was shot, how he was standing, etc. So basically, you wont’ see a random animation for deaths because the possibilities with the rag doll physics are endless. The challenge with rag dolls in a game like Splinter cell is incredibly complex because Sam can grab a rag doll and hold it on his shoulders, from any position.
