Would you want to have the ability to go into first person mode while in a vehicle? Like if you clicked the LS it would switch from 3rd person to first person and vice versa.

Also if you are a passenger in a Warthog, it would make it easier to shoot if you are shown in first person view.

For certain vehicles like Banshees or the Wraith, you could have a monitor inside which will show the exterior.


Tell me what you think.

Its not a good idea, you can see more the way it is. But i do like the idea for having 1st person as a passenger, but not driving.

Maybe for passenger. I don't think it would really fit otherwise.

the monitor could be cool. It would like the screen in the ghost

as an OPTION

playing in 1st person in general is a disadvantage to 3rd
But 1st person is that much more awesome and i take the disadvantage just to watch an Elite roll over my Hog or under my grill. or hell i would like to see an option to make diving realistic, where you have to switch gears, and your camera gets knoked around when you hit walls going 40mph like need for speed shift. before anyone Rages the key word is OPTION

Well...it depends on the setting of the game...If your not going to see your person the entire game or not know too much about them or anything, then yeah it'd work. They did it in Farcry 2 and I thought it worked well, but idk about a halo game

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.

I think 3rd person is what separates the vehicle mechanic from the infantry mechanic. I say don't fix what isn't broken, and the only vehicle that needs a field of view fix is the Hornet's Passengers.

YES because if you dont like it you can just switch to 3rd person

Yes this whole thing would be optional. If any of you guys played Battlefield: Modern Combat 2, if you go into vehicles it gave the ability to switch between third person or first person while driving them.

I'd like the option, but it probably wouldn't work out so great.

If they made it so that you can change from third person to first person in game, that would be epic.

Non Nobis Nascimur - We are not born for ourselves.

Yes! Along with first person for holding turrets.

I just want to get into a Warthog and splatter someone in first person. Then play it back in slow motion and see the body fly.

Actually, the first person passenger can be really difficult. Remember CE? The warthog is a very bumpy ride, although I guess as long as you're not using a scoped weapon it might pay off. I'd like to have a first person option, just to see what I would prefer.

The problem is that it will have advantages like aiming in vehicles with guns like the scorpion tank, where it won't always go exactly where the cursor is. I kinda wish that the hornet side seats had the option to go third person though, because you're flying.
