Yep....

No.
Halo is a first person game, not a third person game, and don't give me that s**t "BUT HALO WARS?!?!?" Bungie didn't make Halo Wars.

You do get 3rd Person. Break off a turret, pick up a missile pod/flamethrower, drive a vehicle, get in the side seat of a vehicle.

Do you mean the ability to switch between first and third person, like in Fallout 3?

I would love to see that in Halo Reach.

yea i think that would be cool, and have it be able to change without going to a menu. i think it would be a diadvantage to those in third person compared to first, but whatever floats your boat. but it still would be cool.

who cares, why wouldnt you like to see something new in halo? Adding third person doesnt make it a different game, its still halo!

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.

Would be cool, you can have 3rd person, but I'll stick with my 1st person view point thank you.

“We are the Mirratord. We strike with speed and stealth. Our enemies will not see their deaths. They will not know their fate. In darkness, we will see light. In light, we will see darkness. No matter the location, we will see victory. If we fail, no one will know. Like a ghost, our presence is a mystery. For the honor of the mirratord" join the Mirratord

First person is better then Third person.

I would much rather keep it the way it is, maybe for certain weapons give the option to go first or third, I would love to stay first person with the flame thrower.

Vancouver BC, Canada.

Halo has always been a 1st Person Shooter. Even having the option to play it in 3rd Person would be weird.

if people want it then why complain if its optional which means you don't need to put it into TPS

i doin't want a Third person view but i don't care if there is one

the OP said "This is just an idea so no one be getting all mad at me but i think they should have a 3rd person option for halo reach. what do u guys think"

its an option its not been forced onto ya, as i said i hate TPS but i don't care if other people use the TP view

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

I personally prefer 3rd person shooters, but there are a few games that switching to 3PS would not add anything to. Halo is one of them.

Additionally, there cannot be an option for 3rd person shooting as online play would be unfair. (You can see behind you and around corners with 3PS games.

ya that true people will get even more pissed at "noobs" for using it

  • 08.18.2009 10:24 AM PDT

The problem with the ability to choose TPS or FPS is that the TPS players got some advantages.
Example. They can look around corners without being spotted.

Edit: I did so not read the 2 last lines of Tyguy101's post.

i read it,the reason they would be STUPID to do that is because then they would have to do so much programming to view stuff from third and first person views.
