Hear me out, yes I know that this was in Modern Warfare 2 (and failed) BUT does anybody else agree that an over-the-shoulder Third Person cam option would be awesome? NO? okay :’|
That sounds interesting, and would be an interesting game for custom games. But only custom games.
Yeah, I’d like that.
Sure, as long as I don’t have to use it.
> That sounds interesting, and would be an interesting game for custom games. But only custom games.
Yes, it would be ridiculous for matchmaking and for Campaign/SO but I always nerdgasm when I see my spartan in third person for some reason lol
I always thought Campaign should have a Silver Skull that makes you play in Third Person POV. an option for Customs would be very nice. it’s possible too since in Reach Theater, the Third Person POV is awesome and has the reticle (though slightly off); copy that, add First Person POV when zoomed in, and an option for enabled/disable in Customs, and BAM! you got yourself Third Person POV working option in Customs! 
Yeah, that’d be a great skull for Campaign like the other guy said and an option for Custom games.
I wouldn’t use it ('cept to oggle myself) but don’t see why not.
I’d also like First-Person for vehicles as an option.
I don’t like this idea. This is a First Person Shooter, not a Third Person Shooter. There would be no benefit to this, for the time it takes to program this into an option.

There’s a mod for Halo PC that is a Third Person POV and it was out the day after Halo PC was released

I never thought about it being a skull, that would be sick
It would be a great idea for Custom Games and a good skull for Campaign.
No.
Look, I know you suggest it as an option but I’m still against it for the simple reasons that:
A: it serves absolutely no purpose. Not in terms of gameplay, nor in terms of visuals or anything else.
B: Halo is a first person shooter. Its mechanics are suited for that perspective. It simply doesn’t work in third person. Same as Gears of War, its mechanics simply don’t work as they should in a first person view.
Yes, it would only affect you. But I’d rather not have options like this in the game that will essentially make it play worse.
Its the same as with optional third person driving: might sound good,until you realize it messes up your view and you actually put you and your teammates im a huge disadvantage.
Long story short: no.
Why not?

In all honesty, Halo totally works as a third person game… if you disagree get Halo Custom Edition, mod the crap out of it (for armor abilities and the like) and download BitterBanana’s Third-person POV mod. Also an over the shoulder view literally gives you about the same view of your surroundings with a small viewable area literally right behing your back
No never in a million years would 343 put that in! Thats not how halo is played it’s played in first person, if you don’t like it well it sucks to be you.

I DO like it and have since 2001, I was simply saying it would bea fun addition to Customs
Whatever bro if you like thrid person then thats fine but the only way to do that in halo is to detact a turret.
For custom games, why not. It would be really interesting and nice variation.

- Armor Lock
- Regen Shield
- Using turrets WITHOUT detaching them
