What if halo was thrid person how hard do you think it would be to play against the covenant or play multiplayer if any of you watched "The evolution of halo"(at www.gametrailers.com) you will understand what I mean.

Think about it fighting against the covenant would be kinda tough but you would have more of a good view if you had enemies come from behind. Would the cursor for the guns be different compared to the halo that we all know,would the aiming system be more difficult i.e. trying to use the sniper rifle.

Try playing multiplayer would you be able to have the three people that you use in a warthog haveing the gunner, driver and passenger(I think being the passenger would be very hard but of course you could just go for random aim.

-S

The reason Bungie made the switch from third person to first person was that third person wasn't very fun to play.

Well, im sure we've all had the expirience of gettinga perfect aim on an enimy in a tank and then having your shell hit a mound of dirt. Really anoying. This kind of thing happens a lot when in third person. Its hard to predict where your gonna actully shoot when in third person becase of the perspective of the camera and the location of the gun barrol. Your projectile will often hit an obstical before it hits the target you want it to hit.

This is why bungie decided to switch to first person.

Personally, I wish you toggle between the two perspectives. But beeing stuck in third person sucks becase of the reason above.

Yeah in a vehicle I always aim slightly higher, the closer the target, the higher. Even then it may take 1-2 shots before I get accurate enough to shoot down a banshee :)

Have you ever played Brute force??? Thats why Halo is a first person shooter, not a third person cause Brute force sucks ( i cant believe i bought it)
