Did anyone ever wonder why the view changes to third person when you drive? I mean it supposed to be a first person shooter..... Does anyone besides me think that you should be able to change the view when your driving something? Or is there a reason they do that??

Because it is cool, and because with grenades and stuff being thrown at you it is cool you want first person get in the passenger seat.

And you can see if someone is behind you or a rocket is behind you so you can miss it.

Driving is much more easy in a third person perspective and it makes Halo that much more original. btw, I love it :P

Maybe they should put that on your profile or something. Like if you want a first-person view when you're driving. I personally like the third-person view when I'm trying to drive, but that's a good idea for those who'd rather drive first-person.

yeah. Its like you just have to go to your settings for your profile and choose to if you want first or third-person when driving.

How about a option to change the view on driving from third to first by click of the right thumbstick?

That would be a great idea.... I like the third person view too... I was just thinking that it would be cool to try it in first person view too...

SB-117

You have the 3rd person so you can get a better view of your surroundings and so you can see what the gunner is doing....
