Would you want vehicles (spefically open vehicles like warthogs, ghosts, and spectres) to have a first person view? I think Halo CE had a first person view for at least the gunner of the warthog, and i sorta would like it for all of them or at least to have a choice. what does anyone else think?

It's a helluva lot easier to see what you're doing in third person, ever try taking someone out from the passengers seat of a 'Hog in Halo CE?

Third person, makes it easier to drive and doesnt feel like a racing game.

Have you ever played Farcry? They pulled it off there. But for Halo? 3rd person.

  • 06.20.2006 1:26 PM PDT

3rd Person for driving, 1st person for gunner/side seat.

  • 06.20.2006 1:26 PM PDT

Sure, third person is easier, but I think that first person for all would add that sense of depth and realism to the game. It would be like your actually shooting that enemy right infront of you with your machine gun. Maybe there could be a third and first person by pressing down on the right thumbstick, similar to the first/third person views in Oblivion.

The FarCry series were great, but Halo would feel different with a first person driving view

Read about my gaming here.

optional, would be fun for Custom games, would be cool to be in first person in a tank, would have to see on a screen what you are aiming at, but as I said, optional

Halo's a hell of a drug.

I would be curious to see how driving a banshee looks in first person. I think it should be optional. Now as for when you are not in a vehicle that should always stay first person

it is a whole lot easier driving/riding in 3rd person. i thought it looked cool in 1st person though. going somewhat along with aplusjimages, i think that only certain vehicles should have a 1st person view, and othes 3rd. Or you can switch between the two

First person passenger made it rediculously exciting. In the Maw, I would get with a friend, have him drive, and then be able to see the action in 1st person!

Yeah, it really is more fun to be in first person. Even if you can't see all thats going on around you. It feels like your more.. more there when its like that.

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

Ever play Far Cry? Their vehicles are awful because of all are first person view.

"On the seventh day, god did not rest, but rather he created 64 player multiplayer!"

having an option to switch between third and first person would never happen. Simply because is presents an unfair advantage for players using the third person view over players using first person. Third person enables you to look around corners and see over hills, etc, while people comfortable in first person wouldn't be able to. Although it would be their choice to switch to third person view also, perhaps they play crappier in that view or whatever...
To make Halo the most balanced that it can be, everyone has to have the same setup as far as HUDs, views, etc etc...

3rd as driver/gunner. 1st as passenger. In Half Life 2 when you had to drive the hovercraft in 1st person in was a pain to see where to go.
