How would you feel if Halo 5 had a third person perspective? An option that allows us to toggle between 1st and 3rd person perspective.
I’m unsure what benefits if any this would bring.
Detriments would include promoting more passive play by encouraging people to sit behind cover, because 3rd person would empower cover-peeking by allowing people to look around corners without exposing themselves.
I personally would enjoy it. 3rd person would alow myself to see my armor in-game better and from Mw2 I believe, I really enjoyed 3rd person gametypes. Nohing bad about adding an optional gametype for players to participate in.
As I state, it should be a gametype, not an option to toggle on or off. Due to the fact 3rd person has major benifits to see around corners.

Yeah, that would change the game a lot.
I would very much like to see this but I’ll take first person any day.
I would really like to try it, like the gametype in reach

How would you feel if there were to be entire game modes with only third person selected?
Hmm, Halo is an Arena based shooter, have there been third person Arena based shooters? I’m not very informed on that topic.
It could create a entirely new type of gameplay and i would welcome it as an addition to Halo 5.
Halo has already proved that its gameplay can be applied to a variety of different gameplay genres, the only issue I see is the community may not be receptive enough because its not an FPS.

Keep in mind that this game is a 1ST PERSON SHOOTER. If they ever added a 3rd Person perspective expect a lot of us complaining on the forums about this.

Yes I agree, it should definitely be a entire game mode by itself.

Not yet, it would be interesting though to see them implement this as a gametype by itself though.
Maybe even create some more maps for this feature?

Do you see yourself supporting Halo as a 1st person then or as a 3rd person?
Depends on how they do it. If it were to be toggled or to be a game mode by itself.

Are you against Halo being a 3rd person? Don’t you think this could create more for the community? There’s also a lot of games that have been created as third person but have gave their audience the chance to play it in first person. Same goes for first person games that have gave their audience the chance to play in 3rd person.

To the very last part of your post, how many “competitive/multiplayer” games let you rotate first/third person? Almost none because it changes how the game plays. I can list hundreds of single player games from Bethesda games to the newest GTA and such but notice how most don’t in multiplayer play? If they add it then it best be in campaign only cuz halo is a fps and third person has more cons because it’s not what the mass wants.
For customs, sure. Everything else, no.

I was going to bring up MW2 since most of the game is FPS and yet they have a hardcore mode for 3rd person. GTA’s entire genre rotates around 3rd person yet they implemented 1st person for the audience. Why do you say campaign? Don’t you think that’ll affect the gameplay for the people who play campaign as well?

Just because Halo is a FPS doesn’t mean in can’t be introduced as a TPS.
You do know this doesn’t have to be permanent right? This could just be something for the community to try out and leave their feedback on.
Sorry for the sloppy quotations, I can’t really edit much on my phone. 
I would enjoy this feature quite a bit. We get a glimpse of this while wielding a turret. It would be cool if while doing any traditional 3rd person action like driving a vehicle or in a passenger seat of a warthog (Halo CE had this and looked really cool) and what not it would become first person. Then everything is in third person.

Exactly.

This doesn’t have to be permanent either, it can just be for the community to try out and leave their feedback on.

I don’t think we should be adding gamemodes unless there’s a solid reason for adding them. Otherwise people could suggest practically anything and 343I would do practically anything. So I’m still waiting for someone to present some actual benefits of third person.

Anymore I’m cautious about adding very different modes anyways. The game has enough of an identity and resource distribution crisis as it is already.
It could be cool if they use the third person view that we have in theater mode
