I only thought of this when i watched Videos of Halo 3 gameplay that was recorded on Theatre and watched from a Third Person perspective.

I know it goes against the Halo formula thats worked so well, but i think the 3rd person viewpoint is quite cool and gives a greater depth of the Character and your environment.

And for the sake of Multiplayer, it makes any armour Permutations Bungie (hopefully) add on Reach more valuable since you can actually SEE them without having to to die, pick up a Rocket Launcher or Service Record etc.

I at least think the option to CHOOSE would be something to make the Gameplay for some individuals much better.

Thoughts? Criticisms? Opinions? Can i haz teh R3conz naow? lolz

Could be a good idea, but I don't see how it would fit in. Maybe as an optional add-on but definitely not a necessity

optional will be unbalanced between fps and third person
or at least different playlists for each
p.s. i like the idea

No i know, necessity would be to much and would alienate players, but it could make the game more interesting to those who arent used to a 1st person perspective and could generate new players.

All in all, keeping Halo going :]

I don't see how it would be unbalanced if you had "over the shoulder" viewing, but I see what you mean with full frontal 3rd person
