I mean would you play it like in the third person? (GTA etc) or like a srategy game whre you command units around a universe and have base planets etc etc? spartans could be commandos etc etc? or would that destroy the series? or any other ideas of how to play out the story?

Read about my gaming here.

Well, at first it was a RTS game, then a third person game and last a FPS.

Let's say that halo still was a RTS, and someone asked this, I bet there would be people who would say No, it's good as an RTS and so on

If it was a third person then I don't know because it's so similar to an FPS

But yes I would play Halo if it was an RTS, we won't know how good it would be untill bungie decides to make a Halo RTS

Carrots.

We're already playing Halo in FPS.

FPS: First. Persone. Shooter.
TPS: Third. Persone. Shooter.

Theres a mod coming out soon for C&C: Generals that replaces all the units in the game with halo versions so itll be like a halo strategy game.

You spelled "persone" wrong. Twice.

Halo is a FPS.....if you were playing it otherwise....then it WOULDN'T BE HALO. Quite an imagination you have, to come up with such a question, one that will most likely make no sense.

A wise man once told me. Life is two people, fishing in the same pond, wanting two different fish.


actually Halo wasn't a FPS at first.

watch the "Halo evolution" video here http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?fs=1&id=528

it shows the process of them making it. the reason it is a FPS is because they couldn't aim all to well in third.

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

I would play it anyways, just diferently. The thing that got me hooked on halo 5 years ago(i think) was pulling out my AR and mowing down the little grunts, with blood going everywhere. I cant do that in a RTS.

This branch of Halo will never be Third Person, an RPG, or anything other than an FPS. If the Halo fandom is continued later with a different story, perhaps that will be an RTS or an RPG, but for now, it will stay as an FPS.

Would not play if it wasn't in first person. That is one of the things that makes the game great.
