Wassup?

Watch Mr. Sark's preview of Halo 3: ODST and at 2:09 the female narrator says "..this third person shooter pits teams of four..."

I thought it was an FPS game type.

"The next time you see me, I'll be stabbing you to death! Okay?"

It's an FPS. She's just retarded.

It is an FPS.

She's apparently an idiot...

Wielding a double-bladed chainsaw, wearing a potato sack on your head and spinning around mindlessly is amiably quick at getting anything done

It's FPS don't worry. She just couldn't get her facts right.

Ok, sweet. A TPS Halo would be kinda awkward.

I noticed this right away as well. Just because the ODST is toting around the turret or they keep replaying the same saved film clip from a 3rd person perspective DOES NOT make it a third person shooter.

Way to get the facts straight X-Play.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

The host was stupid, apparently never knew halo for what it is or thought you use the turret all the way in the game and nothing else..

  • 07.14.2009 2:00 PM PDT

Yeah. I've lost my faith in how reliable X-Play is in their information. They keep making too many screw-ups.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

She is just unlearned, she also referred to the Rookie as a "UNMC ODST" when he is a "UNSC ODST".

In all the vids, the game is shown in 1st person, the only 3rd person view modes were seen from the Theater.

Okay, during that overview, she was not talking off the top of her head, she was reading off a prompter, like every host ever. Only in discussion was anything actually thought about before it was said. If Adam Sessler had been reading that intro, would you guys say that he knows nothing about games?

"Before you insult someone, try walking a mile in their shoes. This way, when you insult them, you are a mile away and have their shoes."

If you were also checking out the E3 preview, it was in third person because Joe Staten was playing a movie to demo it. If you check out the E3 Gamestop Friefight thing, Joe stops it once and you can see the movie bar. Hope that clears it!

What exactly is third person shooter?

"Before you insult someone, try walking a mile in their shoes. This way, when you insult them, you are a mile away and have their shoes."

Gears of War 2 is a fine example. Halo is when you see the gun (that's First Person). Third person is whole body.
