I really hope Halo 3 will have a 3rd person view, since all other successful games (like Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Oblivion) have the choice between 1st and 3rd; it would be awesome because you could see Master Chief's armor while you annihilate everything in your path.

WTF? Having an option is better for everyone so it can be preference over force.

its a first person shooter. 3rd person shooters just dont work, in my opinion. ive got GR:AW on the 360, and its just not the same.

look at unreal: liandri conflict, how crap the 3rd person is on that, then come back and tell me you want halo to look and play like that.

Well, that's why is should be AN OPTION. Gears of War was called the Halo of this year, and I noticed something about it, it IS NOT 1st person.

I think the 3rd person view for turrets and vehicles is fine enough. But I think the option for toggling between 3rd person and 1st person for passengers on the warthog/spectre would be excellent.... Cos if you get in the passenger seat with sniper you're useless, yet AI allies in single player still own all when in the passenger seat with a sniper.

Metal Arms was a PS2 game first. Just saying.


And this topic belongs in the Halo 3 Gameplay Ideas Thread. Although I wouldn't hold my breath. Third person POV would kill a lot of the feel of Halo. I personally hope it never happens. Just knowing it was there would make me think "Splinter Halo".

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Meh, if Bungie can do it well, i see no reason why not.

Bring in some of the 3rd person shooter fans as well.

However, the sticking point comes when you get to competitive multiplayer. A 3rd person view offers a larger view of the battlefield in all but the closest of angles. But, also feels a little bit 'detacted' if not done well.
