Third person feature?

Before anyone immediately goes to reply and condemns this idea, let me first get this out of the way:

I realize that Halo is, was, and always will be primarily a first person shooter. Should this feature be implemented, I would want it to be an OPTIONAL feature, meaning you could switch between first and third person views in the options menu or something. You could still play in first person should you choose to.

Now, ever since Halo 3 when changing seperate pieces of armor was introduced, I’ve always thought it would be neat for a third person view to be available, since not only would you be more able to see your set of armor that way, but because some simply prefer to play in third person.

Third person viewing is already somewhat implemented in the Halo games; when you pick up a turret, When you use certain AAs, when you enter a vehicle, and you can even switch the camera to the position I am proposing in Theater mode. The last example, to be specific, is what really got me considering the idea of a third person Halo game.

Would anyone else like to see this happen?

I would. It sounds entertaining.

I would say keep it as an option when it comes to custom games…possibly some MM also but I’m not the one to approve that or not.

Yes! I would love to see this as an option. Maybe as a skull or something but it would definitely increase the replay value.

No. Halo is and will always be a FPS. ONLY!

Well they could experiment. But I think that people will not like it.

Halo Wars

Why couldn’t we have Third Person Slayer as a variant? Obviously Halo 4 should be FPS based, but this would give us a new flavor as well.

2 options
One to toggle 1 person or third person for players and one for vehicles like this guy
First person mod

> No. Halo is and will always be a FPS. ONLY!

Vehicles, turrets, AAs, Halo Wars, and numerous other features and forms of media in the Halo franchise would disagree with you. But thank you for your input.

Thanks to everyone else for your input as well.

I always wanted something like this. Mainly for aesthetic reasons like you :wink:

No, but if this ABSOLUTELY has to be implented you have to be able to change it ingame, or it could only be third person vs third person, or 1st vs 1st. Because third person shooter person will always have an advantage over 1st person.
