Through the Chiefs Eyes...

Hey Guys.
I was watching the PAX panel and noticed at about 19 minutes they talk about “different ways to tell the story”. the guy says that they are using “Crafted moments, where we can see things through his eyes”

To me this sounds like (dont hate me) Call of Duty, where you would experience everything through the eyes of your character (fighting, stabing, opening doors etc)

I like this idea, this really does put you in the Chief’s boots and emmerse you in his/our story.

What do you guys think? Discuss

I personally love the idea of more immersion.

Halo hadn’t really done the first person scenes until ODST and Reach, and I’m glad 343i is expanding on it even more.

I changed the title but it didnt save it…

Kinda missleading isnt it.

Seconded, motion is now in play.

Yea me too, and it was said that we were getting some QTE’s(Quick Time Events) in there also. Can’t wait, the anticipation is unbearable:)

Missed that one, apparently. O_o

I’m cool with that. Whatever let’s me punch an Elite or Promethean Knight in the face. :stuck_out_tongue:

I will need to get used to the first person view for action moments… but I’m not against it at all, looks good.

I especially loved the E3 scene when MC punched that Promethean in the face lol.

I’ve been anticipating the one where John throws the Elite down the elevator shaft since the GI cover last Spring!

Can’t wait to see what else they throw in there. I’m glad they aren’t doing 100% first person, but I’m also glad they’re delving deeper into the idea.

There’s certain scenes where a third person perspective works better than a first person perspective, and the other way around.

Next time you watch it, put yourself in that place - there is just enough time to

“ARGHH, WTF is that” (training takes over) punches it in the face.

Agreed.

I’m happy we will be experiencing more things through Chiefs eyes rather than purely cut scenes

It worked in Reach.

Quick Time!! Know i really dont like that… In general its done poorly.

Hopefully they do it well

Not all scenes are in first person …and honestly I like the idea, look at crysis 2, some of the moments in that game are awesome

Awesome game.

I think that he means QTE’s.

There has never been mention of Q.T.E. by 343i nor showing of it, the only ones to have mentioned it were the fans due to the early release of some of the in-progress cutscenes that looked QT in nature but are not.

Until 343i confirms, this is not true or is on the fence.

Ah. Even better, then.

Thanks for clearing up my confusion. :slight_smile:

Anytime, my friend~

How will multiple players work with these? An MC2 shouldnt just sit there while MC1 gets into sticky situations.

there isnt going to be multiple MCs its going to be MC busting out of his cryotube, and then up to 3 spartan IVs in lesser cryo tubes
