OK i remember a while back on X-Play the mentioned that Firefight was a "...Thirdperson shooter mode were..." is this true? I saw a lotta third person shots and vids, but I dunno. I know its not just third person cuz we've seen 1st person firefight screens, but I personaly would love to have a choice.

Firefight is first person just like the rest of Halo 3 ODST. The third person views you saw were Theater mode, just like in Halo 3.

It's totally FPS except in Theater mode... which kinda sucks, because Firefight would be EPIC in third person.

I am a penguin. Every day I boogie on down to the water, and eat fish. Once, while fishing in the deepest depths, I saw great Cthulhu... And he said to me "Shine, to thine own self be true. They can't tell you what to do once you've gone guru." Also, I should tell you, "slide".

No, not really.

well, technically it's third person if you're carrying a turret. i believe i saw some clips of that, maybe that what had OP confused. it's just like Halo 3 in that respect. Vehicles/turrets 3rd person, all else 1st person

Go watch Firefight in third person to see what I mean. It'd be perfect (with an over-the-shoulder view, of course. Not the other kind of TPS.)

Well, I'm not a noob. I know that. But I'm just saying what i heard. and I thought I saw (like the second poster) a vid with crosshairs in 3rd person that wasnt turrets.
