It would be awesome.
You’re seeing, from first person, in virtual reality, dropping through an atmosphere through battle clusters to hit a planet, or ring’s surface.
With sound matching perfectly…as you look around in real life, you look around the pod.
It would be an awesome experience.
Omg that would be amazing
I hope we will get SOME sort of a VR Halo game.
It seems like VR is the way of the future for games.

as it should be
Yeah, but with VR where it currently is, the immersion would end there. They still don’t have a really good way of adding movement to VR without a controller. Without a controller, your ODST would have to be pretty stationary after exiting the drop pod.

Look around your ODST pod simulator 2018.

Haha I know I just want any VR Halo game, though I think we are at least one more generation away before real FPS VRs, for a genre based so much on immersion and control they need to make sure the framerate stays really high and the latency is really low. Also now that I think about it, they would definitely have to cut out the switch to 3rd person on heavy weapons/vehicles/assassinations as that could be vomit inducing haha

This is pretty much my stance on VR at the moment when it comes to games where you aren’t sitting in a cockpit of some kind of vehicle 100% of the time. There exists no good, immersive way to move in VR on foot, and there will never exist one because VR (in the sense of wearing a headset) is fundamentally limited by the surrounding physical space. It’s easy to get hyped up about VR, but this is the reality we live in. You’d have to have an exact (down to the millimeter) replica of the game environment in the real world for movement to actually work properly. The next best thing, if we only restrict movement to horizontal, is to have a huge warehouse to run in, or an omni-directional treadmill both of which are beyond the reach of the average person in terms of cost.
I don’t think Halo would ever make a good VR game. Any Halo VR game would have to be severely restricted rail shooter that would totally kill all immersion as soon as you get past the initial impression brought by the headset and actually start playing. At that point all you’re left with is a fairly boring rail shooter where all the cool things are canned animations.
I’m skpetical of VR. It has its applications in games that don’t require movement from the player. It has its potential for games that are very different from the traditional games. It’s easy to get hyped about all this, but the reality is that when it comes to traditional games with movement, VR is nothing more than a really big screen, which I don’t think is a bad thing, but it’s not going to put you into the boots of a super soldier.
Mind. Blown. This would be awsome! Plus it would be like an actual training simulation for the odst’s!

Yeah I agree, the only way it could work in the Halo Universe that I see would be some kind of strictly dogfighting game, where you were in a pelican or longsword in 1st person… this would still be good, but I don’t see traditional FPS’s working extremely well in VR anytime soon, maybe a few years down the pipe.

I bet you that one Halo will make it to the Oculus Rift.
that would be a great idea for the new Microsoft hololens coming out. Give the people what they want
