So as someone pointed out in another post, the idea of looking through dead soldiers cameras an idea popped into my head of a neat thing for our own HUDs in multiplayer. Why not have interlinking POV cameras? i.e., If my ally is on the other side of the map, I'd love an ability to switch on a small display in one of the corners of my HUD to see through his eyes - get his POV. It'd be easy enough to map on controls (use the d-pad on the 360 controller hitting down to activate it as an option, and then scroll through team mates using left and right).


Anyone agree? Yes/No?

HOORAH, SENIOR CHIEF!

this was very useful in GRAW2. It was great for assessing tactical situations for players and clans who take things a little more seriously than the average player. so its hard to tell whether it would be useful to everyone, or just that small group.

I can get your point but I could see this having other benefits too, such as teaching newbies to play the game better too - where the advanced player can subtly watch what the weaker link is doing and give advisement as they go, or vice versa, the weaker one can watch and learn through the eyes of the better player.

Tactically definitely is the highest benefit and if its do-able game engineering wise, I don't see why they wouldn't.

I like this too..... But it would totally change the gameplay. And especially discourage teams to communicate when you can just see what they are seeing.

But who knows? I'm hoping Reach will be the Halo FPS refreshed, so anything could happen.
