I mean, we can view it in third person in theater mode anyways. I just think that it would be fun.
EDIT: I want it to be a PLAYLIST, not a player option. Something a few of you don’t seem to understand.
That would be pretty cool, instead of just having it in 1 playlist though why don’t they have options to let you choose between 1st & 3rd person in any gametype? 
I think it would be fun. If they implement something like this it should be as a custom option for customs and firefight (campaign too if possible) or as a skull.
honestly?
no, i don’t think players would like switching back and forth between 3rd and first person, it would be a fun gimmick but it might just annoy people.

No, it’s one specific playlist/custom game option, you aren’t forced to play it. I wouldn’t want it in all playlists but maybe third person slayer and objective.
Personally I think (as stated above) it should be available in all modes but I don’t think it should be in any Playlists, at least not at first. I think they should wait to see how it’s received/how people use it and add appropriate gametypes to playlists according to that.

same with bloom in reach but yet people don’t like having the difference.
i’m all for more customization but i honestly think that a 3rd person playlist will either go unused or just annoy people, maybe even both, having it as an option in gametypes might work but i think that this sort of thing should be a player option and not a gametype option.
i just don’t think that 3rd person would go well together with 1st person.
It would be a joke. Absolutely not.
No way! Do you guys have any idea how much advantage a guy with third person view has over a guy with first person view …? See around corners, easy to callout, and so on … This is a very bad idea.
If they had a 3rd person playlist. I wouldn’t dare go near it. Now im not hating it but, that takes more time to work on that vs. working on a better multiplayer or story. Yes, it worked well in Halo 3 with the Flamethrower and the Missle launcher, thats it but it would be different but in my opinion, If you want to fight aliens in 3rd person. Play Gears, not Halo.
Halo is an FPS game…it should stay that way.
The switch to TPS you get when driving or handling a bigger power weapon is acceptable and works fine, but playing the entire game in third person? No.
Besides: that would also mean a completely different way of playing between those who go for FP view and those who go for TP view.
Simply put: not a good idea.

No.
He said only one playlist guys, not the entire game. I think thats fine. No harm in that.
However switchable views in other playlist should not be allowed. Too exploitable.
That would be a pointless waste of time and money. Just because things are cool doesn’t mean they should be done. Halo is a first person series at its core and it will always be a first person series. I don’t want to come off mean, but this is not for Halo 4. First they should make the game the best they can and only when its perfect should they even consider that kind of thing. Their time and money is better spent on polishing and allowing multiple people in theatre. lol

A waste of time and money? Do you even know what you’re talking about?
I think it would be fun, in one playlist only though.
It could be fun. 343 should at least add it as an option in custom games, as well as the gameplay mechanics that were scrapped because they weren’t “halo” enough. I mean if they can’t find the time to test it during the development stages, they could at least let the community judge whether or not it could contribute to the fun of the game. And it wouldn’t be too much trouble to do. I mean vehicles and turrets have a 3rd person perspective, as well as theatre, so it wouldn’t be digging much into their already gigantic budget.
I think that’s a pretty nice idea and would make for some interesting gameplay experiences.
It’d be an interesting twist, and could be a nice way to emphasize movement over aiming. I’d be cool with seeing something like that in a limited subset of Matchmaking.
