thoguhts on a third person mode?

heyyy guys… I was wondering what your thoughts would be if we had like a third person mode in halo 4? Kind of like when your in the theater… I just really like third person… and we could make it something like they did in star wars battlefront where you could change what mode you wanted to play in from the options ingame… I don’t really see how it could be an advantage to a player if they were in third person mode since we could make it as if the view you get in third person mode to be just as wide as the view in first person mode…

This

Also THIS

Theater only.
Halo is a First-Person Shooter.

That would turn a lot of people on the game away and a tiny amount towards it. Plus I don’t see them having a sense it making it 3rd person.

i don’t think any of you guys even read my post… I said make it an option!!!.. cmon seriously guys get with the program…

as long as that option is locked out and a “Forced First Person” was active for multiplayer… I couldn’t care less. If it was usable in multiplayer as well… i’d be pretty irate.

Halo is a first person shooter and most action takes places in tight or crowded spaces…imagine the bouncy -Yoink- camera.

It also stay first person because 3rd person just simply doesn’t match it.

Play halo custom edition with a 3rd person mod, It doesn’t feel right.

there should be no option for it, everyone is equal, in 3rd person they have the extra pair of eyes at the back of their head where as someone in first person might not see the bloke behind them, imagine that stuff in a gametype with no radar…

Absolutely not

And this here

OP, it could provide an unfair advantage because you could then see people behind you. If someone has a fast enough reaction time and/or their sensitivity up really high, then it would be unfair.

hmm well I was watching some videos of me in theater and it kind of provides more of a over the shoulder view so I couldn’t really see someone coming up behind me… thats what my radar is for… I just really like third person mode because it makes me feel more bad -Yoink- being able to see my character and how the gun looks… it just seems much awesomer to me…

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Well for one thing, you could see around corners without going around the corner.

It could be fun for customs or forge, but third person perspective has no place in matchmaking.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNO that would suck :slight_smile:

how about making like something what they did in mw2 where people could choose to search for games that are in third person mode or in customs where you could set it so everyones in third person so everyones even? would you think its just a waste of time… or would you enjoy a little change every once in a while?

If it was just for custom games, people could have some fun with it, but in multiplayer… I’d rather it not be there. Halo is a FPS after all…

I would like having the option of going into 3rd person in campaign, forge, and custom games, but I don’t want it in matchmaking. If it were, you would be forced into playing in 3rd person if you wanted to be competitive. Yuck.
