spartan abilities in first person view?

I wonder why they are being third person. Don’t get me wrong, they are working just fine, but I am curious what would be like in first person for assassination, Spartan charge, and ground pound. Since Halo is FPS game, why are they switching to third person. I am not talking about vehicles being third person. Maybe the assassination for third person is to show cool animation as I think. However, I think first person is going to be immersed in more than third person. Just like the thruster pack did in Halo 5 from Halo 4. that was quite annoying. What do you guys think?

It would be nice for them to be in first-person, but I think that it’s better to leave them like that, so then you can see the full action.

I like the idea of looking at my enemy´s face when I stab him on the face.

Some assassination animations might be quite disorientating in first person I think.

This abilities are for ‘‘showtime’’ so imo it will be bad setting it in first person because you won’t be able to see the full action

This…I don’t wanna throwup my cookies :slight_smile:

It could be a custom game option, but putting it in permanently would kinda ruin it.

I would really like an option to toggle them first person. Here’s a video of some first person assassinations in Halo 4.

It will not ruin if 343 makes them properly for first person.

You mean looking at their visor?

Josh Holmes commented about something similar like this on another forum a long time ago and I think he said it would be too disorienting and complicated to implement.

It would be cool if you got to choose whether you want first person or third on the abilities.

Could be disorienting, but hey, this is a First Person Shooter.

I imagine quite disorienting. I like it in 3rd.

I like see around me while i do this, because its take too long to do it.

That’s great idea that having optional, but people might complain about it in Arena by “we all have to be same, that’s Arena”(this is one reason people hate loadout system in Arena, but I like loadout).

Watching something like an assassination is the entire fun of it. It would look like a mess if it was in first person.

I don’t think ground pound or spartan charge would look that bad in first person, though. I just don’t think it really matters and would rather have changes made elsewhere

If 343 planned to change it, it will be in Halo 6, if Spartan Abilities are still there. I hope they change it in future Halo games.
