I Realy Want third person view!

Dude, thrid person would be crap. You go and get brute force, see how you like that one since it uses the same engine as Halo, and then see if you want 3rd person, because i have heard nothing but bad things about brute force. Halo is a first person game, period. Third perosn is just not what Halo is about, the aiming reticles, shield meters, grenades, ammo, thats all part of the MJOLNIR armor system. So if you want to play with no way to aim, no way to tell how your shield is, no way to know how many grenades you have, and no way to tell how much ammo you have, then third person is right for you.

Well, it's third person whenever you're in a vehicle or mounted turret and your HUD still shows, so obviously they're bending realism a little bit for the sake of gameplay. I think third person would be okay, but I'd never use it.

how can you have 3rd person view when halo is and always been a 1st person shooter 3rd person would be crap period

The game is not totally first person. It's third whenever you're in a vehicle or turret. I think third person would be a good option to have in the game, but I'd never use it.

omg ive had enough of this subject lol. the game of halo 2 is and will always be a 1st person shooter! weeeoo glad i got that off my chest. anyway if you would actually play a third person halo then you either are A so good you need to be handicapped to make it fair for others, or B you stink so bad at halo 2 you dont know how sucky third person would be.

it would be an good option to pick but bungie wouldn't put t in becuase it would be a waste of programming... not very many people would use it

I agree with you Dark Eagle, if they did put it, i wouldnt use it. It would be like in ghost recon 2, they have a third perosn view in there, but i never use it. I think that for any halo game, it should be 1st person.

third person = CRAP!!! :mad:

first person = ICE-cream!!! :D :D


... uhhh... ... ... HAHAHAHAHA!!!

sorry for posting twice :( :(

3rd person would be awsome....in the very very firsst halo they had 3rd person not 1st its on spec. ed. disc and i think it would be so awsome to jus click start and have a choice...but they prob. wont :mad: im just so ust to 3rd person cause i had socom 2 and thats 3rd person.. :rolleyes:

..........WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?! Ok first of lets try and remember what halo is all about. Halo 1 got best game of the year for fps...or also known as "FIRST PERSON" Shooter...Besides if it wasn't 1st person you couldnt see but half the screen...GOD DUMB PEOPLE!

3rd person could be ok but not really it depends what situation

:D your right if halo1 did nothave first person I wouldnt have bought it!!!!!!!!

Ok then lets drive the warthod and all vehicles in first person (i would actually like that but most people probly wont) fun 4 me u mabye not

I would imagine they have played around with the idea and vetoed it at some point in developement.

probly have but still if they complain

THis is the last post until im a jackel so i wanted to just blah something down

I like the third person view in Conflict series. When you zoom it takes you into first person. It makes for a nice mix.

wat year is this coming out ?

What year is what coming out? We're talking about something we wished was in the game, not something that (at least to our knowledge) will be.

Finally someone learns from my posts.

Yeah by the way the story goes like this...
I tried to sell Brute Force to Gamespot and
Gamestop and they both would only give me
a one dollar credit. I broke the disk in half
and used it to cut my tough steaks.

For you people that do not trade in games...
Gameboy color games go for $1 and XBOX
games usually go for $10. Thats is why I broke
the disk.

Yeah, Brute Force is horrible. Fortunately I rented it first, and I played it for a little more than ten minutes before I put it back in the box and took it back. A guy at the store asked me how long I had played it, because apparently this happened all the time and he was wondering how long people could stand it. Apparently I had broken their record :)

The game came with my XBOX and I already
knew it sucked. I had it in my closet and
took it out before I went to school (a day
after I bought the XBOX). I played it for
twenty-three minutes and thirty-seven
seconds. I timed it with a stop watch to
see how long I would get bored of it (did
the same for Halo and Halo2 but I turned
the watch off because I knew I loved it).
So thats when I went to gamestop and
thats why I have the two halfs in my dish
washer. :) :D :cool:

I dont even class it as a game it sucks that bad i got given it for free and cos i didnt know about it i put it in my xbox and it crashed 13 times thats how much sucks so i sold it to some tard who had played a demo and really wanted it i made £25 off it easy!

I heard a rumor from a friend that the origional Halo was inteneded to be a third person game, but when microsoft bought it, they changed it to first person. I dont know if this is true or not, but if it is im really glad that it was changed and made into first person.

I heard that as well if it is true gd

I Realy Want third person view!

i dont totally agree cuz i like the first person view cuz wen ever ur fighting some one it easier too c them cuz ur at a level game play mode which n 3rd person view u would be looking down slightly at an angle n pluss halo is known for there first person combat view!!

i think its good as is. even if bungie wanted to chage it, they could but it would serverly affect the popularity of the game, costing money. it would lose popularity because Halo's known for its graphics and part of that is the first person veiw (someone mentioned that earlier) and plus, it would take more hours or designers to create the pixles and levels for John 117 (MC) as in being behind him, or off slightly to an angle. im not sure if im makin much sence right now. someone tell me how im doing im on a sugar rush...sweet!

You have NO idea what your talking about! I have Brute force and it's a great game. You can still see your health, ammo, grenades and everything, the only difference there is in 3rd person mode is that you can see his body, not just the gun, and Brute Force does a superb job at doing so. But what I reckon there should be is an option whether you want First Person or third person, like in Star Wars Battlefront (Whch is also a great game). Third person would make the game pretty cool, not that it isn't already or anything. Then it would feel to much like Brute Force... Which isn't a bad thing at all!

If Halo 1 got the award for the best first person shooter thats all good, if it was in third person it would have gotten the award for the best third person then wouldn't it. And your comment about only seeing half the screen... BA, WRONG. The screen would span over a larger area, so instead of only seeing two grunts you'd be seeing four. You got served!

It would be fun only if you could change it back to the regular

Gd idea i like that very nice but what about vehicles in FP (first person) u couldn't really camera steer so thats a problem

I think it would be a bad idea because you lose the tension of having to watch your back

No listen what the poeple said before FPS in a FPS u cannot see behind u anyway but just make a rear veiw mirror

so what have a rectangle in the visor to show behind you nah. some object should be reflective that would add dimension and see behind you

Why the hell do you think they call it "A FIRST PERSON SHOOTER!"

I know thats why there is tension when you got to cover your back

But reflective barriers are a cool idea no

I HAVE THE GAME TOO AND IT BLOWS!!!! The thrid person view makes it impossible to see enemies in front of you! OF COURSE YOU CAN SEE YOUR ITEMS AND HEALTH BECAUSE THEY ARE ON THE HUB In my opinion it is a horrible game meant to be a mix of Halo and Rainbow six. Basically Brute Force sucks. :mad: PERIOD :mad: !!!!

Third person view would suck. Imagine it you seeing MC's body instead of a "realistic" point of view. I hated Brute Force because of its 3rd point of view. YOU ARE NOT WATCHING MC FIGHTING! YOU ARE FIGHTING AS HIM! IT IS A FPS GAME! Why would you want to watch MC fight? The 3rd person view of driving is enough of 3rd person view. My opinion is that they should NEVER make Halo into a 3rd person view game. That would make it SUCK A**!

We weren't talking about having it be a third person game, we were just saying it would be nice to have the option to make it third person if you preferred it. Personally, I would always go with first person.

A third person option would be good but not only 3rd person. Hmm... While we have this topic open I wonder if they can make other "tasks" third person. Not alot of them but just a few.

suppose cos it would be cool

Assassinations would be completely impossible with third person and that would be just stupid. Instead of seeing a gun being reloaded, you would see MC's hand just moving and the beautiful details that are present in all aspects of halo 2 would be lost. By the way, Halo was originally a real time strategy game.

Why would you see his hand moving? When you reload after getting out of a vehicle before it goes back to first person, you see him reloading it. And assassinations being impossible could be solved by adding a sword-like lunge feature to all weapons. Why should you only be able to do speed bursts if you're holding a certain weapon? I think everything should have the lunge, and that would balance out third person, especially with the disadvantages that would come with a moving camera.

Listen speed bursts? lunge? they cannot just dissapear after u leave TP so it would they suck in FP

By the way, Halo was originally a real time strategy game.

Was it really? Interesting. Maybe they sould make a game called Halo: Combat Evolved Tatics or something and it would be an RTS.

It was never an RTS, but it was something similar. If you've played Planetside, you have the idea. It was an MMO third-person action game with all Spartans fighting on the whole of Halo all loaded in a seamless world, with no Covenant, Flood, Sentinels, Monitor, or any kind of story at all. You could command a squad of Spartans and there was a mode where you'd be just one, and Bungie thought it was so fun that they changed it so you controlled a single character, and from there they made a story, dropped the 'seamless world' and the online aspect, and that's where the game we know sprang from. Unfortunately the human sword, which was in the original idea, didn't make the transition.

Way back when they were making the game, they considered third person, but found that it ruined the fun.

imagen a RTS like C & C generals now that would be cool i play C & C generals loads

whoa to many acronyms there bud

They'd have to make homing weapons, like locking on with the pistol and I think that takes away from it.

Not necessarily. Look at 3rd person shooters like Brute Force and Star Wars: Battlefront. I admit that both games sucked, but the aiming wasn't bad.

omg Brute Force dont refrence that, that aint even a game

I like the idea of thrid person view and it would be even better if you could toggle between the two whilst playing

i dont like the idea of the 3rd person view, that takes away the whole FPS part of the game. But as long as you can toggle between the two its fine.

Star Wars Battlefront is a good example of a good 3rd/1st person game where you can toggle between the 2. But when you think of games that can rival Halo 2,Star Wars Battlefront doesn't spring to mind. Infact nothing springs to mind.

yeh 3rd person is a gud idea and it would add a difference

Nah it should be kept as 1st person for the sole reason that you have to watch your own back to add suspence

Nah it should be kept as 1st person for the sole reason that you have to watch your own back to add suspence

thats a gd point ifsomeone is trying to sneak up behind u and u have the view on third person then ur going to see them without even looking behind u which i think is a bit unfair and thats one of the best things about Halo i suppose
A way to get round this problem would be to no let us shoot when in hord peson then we would have to choose carefully on when to us the thord person mode and not to how do u like that ben

Nah they should keep it as a 1st person only. But some of the walls should be relflective. to see people behind you

How about a level of mirrors?

that would just be confusing and easily get lost in

I think a mirror maze-type level would be cool. Or maybe a glass maze, so you can see everything, but the walls are invisible and you never know if you have a direct shot at the enemy or not.

yeah that is a real cool idea

it would be cool if u could bounce the bullets off metal beams on the roof to hit ur opponent

Star Wars Battlefront is a good example of a good 3rd/1st person game where you can toggle between the 2. But when you think of games that can rival Halo 2,Star Wars Battlefront doesn't spring to mind. Infact nothing springs to mind.

True, true... Star Wars Battlefront is an excellent game. Though it can't rival Halo 2 in any way, shape, or form, it is special.

That be sweet, but the views may be difficult, or there could be a switch. You could switch views at anytime in the game
