Should we be able to enter levels without the cutscenes in Halo 3? I think it would be awesome to be inside an orbital drop pod, and feel the rumble as you go through the atmosphere, and then feel the impact, and then see the door explode off and you leap out to begin the mission. Or perhaps in the situation of the Pelican, or maybe getting out of a Phantom. Thoughts?

i think there should be both, like the cutseen explains stuff then your in the pelican,phantom,ect.

They should do it like they did in "The Silent Cartographer" where they have the last part of the cinematic be in first person. That level had the coolest opening.

Yeah well I was thinking it gives you the first person scene, like if your in the pod, Sargeant Johnsan is talking to you a small screen, and you're sitting there. Or, you're looking around in the pelican, and hear the com traffic and the pilots start telling you things or whatever.

It's a good idea, but it might only be viable in certain instances. Other times the cutscenes have to switch back and forth between characters, which would negate first person.

Yah that's what I was thinking, I just forgot to type that. I'm just saying that when they can, they should do it.

That's true. Sometimes the whole cutscene not being in FP adds to the "atmosphere". But so does being in FP. I'm contradicting myself again.

I agree. Should have both. But a game needs cutscenes. Some games like Republic Commando has no cutscenes at all-everything that's supposed to be a cutscene is first-person. It just jumps right into the gameplay. Not that it's terrible or anything, I just wasn't used to it.

I support this idea. I think it would be "tight".

Why would you need to make a guy execute himself?

That...that doesn't make any sense.
