Do you think people would still play it as much or that it would kinda become like a Gears of War title?

BYAHH

I really don't think that will happen (just when you're using a tank or something)

But if it did it would play mostly the same.

They actually made a halo TPS but it never hit the market. It was a mac game.

yes, b/c the last 7 games they put out that were FPS failed... so now they are switching to TPS...

no.

third person has the advantage of letting you see more of your environment and makes it easier to move and jump around in.

first person has the advantage aiming better and noticing small details in your environment.

The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.

You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.

So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

Not that it would matter much to me either way but... Bungie has already confirmed (one of the few things they have) that Reach is an FPS.

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

Then Bungie would have lied.

I actually would like them to try a 3rd person Halo game. Knowing Bungie's quality of work, I'm sure they can pull off a great game! I love watching the Spartan in action from a 3rd person POV when you're walking around with the turret or missle pod!

Oblivion-like ability to switch between the two.

[/thread]

Seriously, I play Halo PC with a third person mod, and I must say it's much more fun to be able to SEE yourself run around, and if you line it up right the accuracy isn't diminished at all.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

Already confirmed FPS.

....Sigh

This thread is for saying WHAT IF it was a third person. We already know its an FPS.
Yes, but what if this question has already been asked several hundred times, even before we knew it was going to be an FPS. What if people actually used the search bar. What if people didn't ask useless what if questions?

I can understand a "What if" question if there is no decise clear answer, and it could possibly be put into the game. Like;

"What if you could drive a Scarab?"
"What if there is no BR?"
"What if Natal is used as a major component for the game?"

I can understand those "what if" questions, but I can't understand the point of a question being asked when we already have the answer to it. Now, if this thread was about their new IP I could understand that too.

But asking a question when you already have the answer is stupid. Not all the time, but when the question has been asked several hundred other times, yes, it is stupid to ask again.

Its just a question man. It doesn't matter if you have seen the thread alot. There's LOTS of threads everyday. Same ones WILL come up, because the other ones get buried. Even if they use the search bar you will still see them. You can't stop it.

What if you leaved the thread if you didn't like it? That would be the day.
Who said I didn't like the thread? I put my valid information in here, and you sighed telling me what I already knew.

So I went on a rant. >_> no biggy.

Chunky_Lover's Average Joe Interview

Bungie All Star Contest Winner Weeks 6,8 and 12

Its a simple hypothetical question guys......


How do you think Gameplay could be changed if a Halo game would stray away from an FPS genre?


I think we would see something in terms of Gameplay like Lost Planet (without the poop) or a R6V cover system would be really neat.

Signatures are for squares.

I have a feeling gameplay would be nearly exactly like Lost Planet...minus the giant robots.
