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.
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.
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.
