Ragdoll is a physics generated feature of the game. When a player is killed but not gibbed, the player's position is replaced with a ragdoll in reference pose. Soon after, the body and limbs will react in a realistic fashion depending on the velocity and direction of the impact.
Whilst this feature does not affect the gameplay, it does greatly contribute to the visual appeal. Since the introduction of physics engines, ragdolls have become staple of most first person shooters and are regarded to be highly satisfying and amusing to watch.
Following certain patches, each class now has a custom death animation that plays upon being killed by certain attacks such as a headshot or backstab. A ragdoll is placed in the ending animation position after it has played.
Ragdolls are known to perform differently depending on whether they are client side (viewed from the player's point of view).
