Subject: Option for 1st Person view in Vehicles?

There once was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died.

The end.

Personally, i would love to be able to drive a vehicle while in 1st person view. (Similar to BF: Bad Company) Maybe, in Reach, there could be an Option to switch camera views in a Vehicle. Perhaps clicking the Right Thumbstick would enable/disable 1st person view in Vehicles.

It would be very awesome to see this feature in Halo: Reach and/or possibly in future Bungie Games. I know that there would probably be some minor flaws with it.

I am not saying that it should only be 1st person, i am simply saying that their should at least be a button that you press (clicking the Right Thumb stick) that puts on and takes off 1st person view.

um it might be to troublesome for the controller to have a first person view plus it will be hard to navagate where you need to go if it was first person...

Seems to work just fine in BF: Bad Company. Besides, you would not have to use it. It would be just an option.

If it was in first-person you wouldn't see much of what your driving and also BF: Bad company is completly different from Halo.

in my oppinion I prefer the 3rd person in a shooter opens up a lot more in terms of gameplay like in third person you can add more moves to a character like I constantly see elites/brutes any covenant jumping for cover when u shoot a rocket or grenade yet all we can do is try to move to the side which usually isnt nearly fast enough but you can't have a roll in first person that would just get dizzying because every time you roll u see all the covenant start spinning just my oppinion and you can still do everything u can in first person in third person...

If it was in first-person you wouldn't see much of what your driving.
But you would focus more on what you're doing. All too often, I see people grab a vehicle, and just guess where they're going, flailing the camera about wildly. With things like Bad Company, you rarely crash, because the first-person view allows you to see everything you need to see.

If you had first-person, it would be epic. The driver would focus on driving, the passenger on navigation and target spotting, and the gunner on, well, gunning.

I like 3rd person for driving and gunning but, I guess you guys didn't play Halo: CE or remember it well as the passenger went into first person. I liked the first person view since it helped me get more accurate shots than 3rd person in Halo 2 and 3. I wish they'd bring that back.

  • 11.09.2009 3:20 PM PDT

It's kinda hard to know what's going on around you if it's in 1st person.

Yeah i miss that too.

Im not saying it automatically should put you in 1st person view, but their should at least be an option for you to put it in 1st person.

no make it an option in the game menu not the the right thumb stick

  • 11.09.2009 3:24 PM PDT

You have no rights, play nice.

Ive find it easy to drive in first person on NFS, because I can see things more clearly and it helps to judge a turn or something. the only down side is that the driver cant see whats behind him easily or to his side.

deja vu.. I thought I saw a thread just like this... with rigth thumbstic and everything.

If there was, i didn't see it. But, i still think 1st person view would be neat!

As an option, definately. Always good to have more options. I would be wary about it being the default. Might be fun, though.

That might be why he said "option" as in "optional."

  • 11.09.2009 3:47 PM PDT

I don't understand why there was never an option for this. I mean, one of the things I preferred about Halo CE, is that you could ride the warthog and the scorpion in first person, it made a world of difference, that much more immersive, especially the tank. I was bitterly dissapointed to see you couldn't be in first person while riding the hornet, I mean would literally see yourself hanging in the air and the pilot's face right beside you. The altitude made it even less immersive that you couldn't have such possibility. Who cares if it is meant to be played in 3rd and that it will be a little less playable, it's my problem, make it at least an option, it's really not that hard.

Definitely. Especially if they had another mission like "Halo" or "Coastal Highway"; imagine playing those in first-person view driving the warthog, more so "Halo". Obviously I'd like for it to be an option, since I do prefer third-person driving. But sometimes I like to kick in the first-person view to make an experience seem a lot cooler in games like GTA.

52,000 kills in Halo 2 and more legendary playthroughs in CE than you can imagine. I am truly a God.
