Driving and Gunning in 1st person?

I thought it would be nice if you could switch back and forth between first and 3rd person when driving certain vehicles, (mostly the Hog and Mongoose). It could be like BF3, it doesnt hurt gameplay at all, I just think that driving a hog in 1st person would be epic. The gunning doesnt need to have this option since it could have a minor effect on gameplay.

Also: I would love it if gunning in a passenger seat was automatically in 1st person.

Yeah, why not? Hopefully its in.

I highly doubt it will be included.

The only reason I would want it to be in First Person would be so that I can drive the Warthog and see my enemies crushed under the weight of my vehicle.

There should be a toggle for that. WHY MAKE THE INTERIOR SO BEAUTIFUL if you CAN’T EVEN SEE THEM WHILE YOU DRIVE THRU A WAR of EPiCNESS?

The thing is first person perspective in a vehicle WOULD affect gameplay. A driver of a Warthog facing forward would be completely unaware if the Gunner is alive or dead or being boarded or if his shields are down and so on and so on. Same applies to the single-seat vehicles, you wouldn’t be able to easily gauge the health of the vehicle or whether you are being boarded.

I think first person perspective in a vehicle should only be available for passengers who are wielding weapons that have zoom capability. So if you got in a Warthog passenger seat and you were holding a BR then it would default to 3rd person but if you tapped to zoom in (like you would on foot) then it would shift to 1st person. I always thought it was weird that you couldn’t use the scope on zoom weapons as a passenger.

Simple fix to all of that…bring back the Halo 1 HUD display that shows Vehicle and passenger health. And I would prefer if passengers were already in 1st, zoom or not.

I think it should be an option configurable by gametype. Probably not in the default playlists. Similarly, I think it’d be cool if there was the option to hide the scoreboard and the info reel (where it tells you who’s died). If you wanted, you could add a bit of uncertainty to the mix that way.

As long as it isn’t default or mandatory then I see no issue here. It’s toggleable (not sure if that’s even a word lol) in BF3 and I think it makes for a unique and fun experience. It doesn’t affect gameplay at all either. It’s not like they would run into button configuration conflicts either so yes, definately include it. Think of the custom game possibilities :slight_smile:

I loved FPS view in the passenger seat of a warthog in CE and CEA I want that to return but while driving and gunning not just riding they better put it in.
