Well, sort of... Marathon just has (up to) eight views for everything. 
And although I never noticed it until recently, corpses only have one
view (this is not any sort of inherent Marathon limitation--a shape set
can have up to 8 sides, but Bungie only specified one view angle for
corpses when they did the artwork).
