One of the coolest things about multiplayer in Combat Evolved that immersed me into the experience factors was the first-person perspective of a vehicle’s passenger seat. I can understand that it was removed between Combat Evolved and Halo 2 because it was certainly harder to be an effective combatant from first-person versus third-person, and could potentially be disorienting if your warthog snagged its chassis with a grenade blast and sent your field of view barreling into tunnel vision (which I personally found AMAZINGLY COOL), but haven’t we already come to the conclusion that OPTIONS are better than nothing at all?
I can’t know how hard it would be to implement, and I’m certain that it isn’t a huge priority for the TU, as it is much more for the experience rather than gameplay mechanics themselves, but I can’t help but feel that this particular part of Combat Evolved seriously made the multiplayer experience for me feel so much more about me than my avatar (Spartan). It brought me into the folds of the battlefield much more than the third-person perspective.
I would just really, really love for this to be a toggle-able option for players, if not in the near future, the future, at least.
I would love for it to be an option. (OPTION, not enforced) Just sounds like something that would make races (assuming the gametype makes into into 4) even cooler.
Care to explain? As a toggle option why not, if you don’t like it you don’t have to have it. I do agree with the OP and would like a toggle option for FP/TP while being a passenger.
As an option I would love this similar to how the option to crouch is toggable from hold to press. It would be my favourite feature and could help machinima’s as well. Remember the beta opening scene and you saw, from a first person perspective someone driving a Warthog? That was cool and I would love to see that too.
Saw this in the forums the other day so it definitely seems possible that they could easily put it in with the TU if it isn’t too late already. Not sure what they would do for covenant vehicles though…
> A toggle would be nice. More important things to worry about, though.
Of course, which is why I’m not racing to cross my fingers or anything, but I figured that something nostalgic like this, since that’s what they are marketing, would be worth mentioning, just on the off-chance.
