third person animation

Games Other Halo
1

i hate third person animations like the gun turret and the armor ablities. i just feel like they detract from the immersion. Are they in halo 4 and if so, do you think thats a good thing or a bad thing

They’re in Halo 4.

Tough break.

i fail to see whats wrong with it?

They’re confirmed in. I don’t feel that they ruin immersion per sé, but it would be nice to see more 1st person action e.g. this mod for Reach’s vehicles.

they are back. you can see some in the Longbow gameplay on YouTube. I like how it goes into third person, because you get a wider range of view, which allows you to see more and make better decisions. Plus you get a chance to see Chief’s/ your Spartan IV’s armor in game. i guess an option to decide if you want to stay in first person wouldn’t hurt. But I’m no game developer and I don’t know what kind of resources that would take up to allow that option.

They should take some lessons from FarCry2 or Crysis when it comes to campaign immersion, when it comes to MM though the third person driving is kind of a necessity to maintain battlefield awareness.

i agree

I take it you only play FPS’s…

You’re missing out on other great series then.

no i do play other third person games but i just feel like it doesn’t really fit in halo games

they’re in. some gameplay of spartan ops where he holds the turret. i like it though so I’m content

its been there since the beginning, its a part of halo through its life so it fits and there is nothing wrong with it, it works well, it allows you to actually see what is going on instead of having your view highly obstructed by the turret or vehicle.

I think it’s a good thing, first person in the ghost sounds terrible. I do want them to bring back first person on the passenger side in the warthog though, that was awesome.

I actually love third-person mechanics; I get to see my spartan in all his bad–Yoink- glory!

Plus, battlefield awareness is good too.

I like the third person stuff since it gives me an opportunity to admire my armor during gameplay. And then I get killed.
