Halo 4, To Be Or Not To Be: First Person Vehicle Option?

[DaveAtStateFarm]

I was in the Shout Box today (shocker) and B3ta R13 suggested Halo 4 needs a First Person Vehicle switch. I personaly think it's cool to see a Warthogs steering wheel etc. And it would also be a pretty bad idea because you can't really see everything...But it would be a cool choice if you can!

Remember In Halo Combat Evolved, when you got in the passenger you had an FPS view. Would that be a good thing to return? FPS Turret? Agree, that WOULD be awesome! But, once again i'm on eithe rplaying field. Make your opinions BELOW. V V V V V V V V V V V

lol

[JHCRANE 14]

As long as you have the choice to go between 1st and 3rd person view like in skyrim. Thats fine, but don't make permanent.

[ODST Omega 117]

yes someone agres with me

[Mr Biggles]

i disagree, i think the warthog driving looks much better in 3rd person.

[SPARTAN 117]

maybe for the tanks, hornets, and banshees... if they are in the game that is (perhaps not the banshee )

[Kurt S-501]

I vote no. Halo driving has always been 3rd person. It would be stupid to change it. The drifting looks way cooler in third person and the field of view would be to constricted. I do think the passenger seat should be first person like it was in Halo CE. And the gunner seat should stay third person.

agreed.

ITS NOT PERMANENT JUST U GET TO SWITCH WHENEVER U WANT

[SixWaysToSunday]

If you had a button, like on the Dpad, to switch between the two then it would be great! BF3 has the same system, and it makes driving much easier. Plus its fun to see the terrain rushing up into your face.

[GlobalHawk722]

I think it would look cool to look down the sights of a warthogs chain gun but making a first person view for halo vehicles creates complications. Since vehicles are prone to flip allot (warthogs) a system would have to implemented to show this is 1st person as well (very difficult). Another problem caused by this is that you wouldn't be able to see enemies who jump onto your vehicle to melee or plant a grenade. I say stick to 3rd person.

as a side note, 343 needs to make halo 4 so that the barrels of chain-guns are lined up with the angle of fire. I got really tired of firing a machine gun on a falcon that wasn't pointing toward the reticle!

[yah bono here]

first person vehicles would be hard to drive, i like the passenger though

[DaveAtStateFarm]

Thanks for the feed back!

[Nohbdy]

Hells yea!!!!!!!!!!! I always enjoyed the BF driving system! I would be amazing for 343 to add perhaps a vehicle control settings menu and a hot key to switch between 1st person BF style and traditional Halo, it would complete my life!

[B3ta R13]

agreed.

its an option not permanentley.you can switch at any time

[VivaLebowski]

If anyone who doesnt want FPS driving has not played BF3, I suggest you do so. If you have played BF and you still don't want FPS driving, then we can have that argument.

 

FPS driving is not "more" effective than 3rd person. But it is allot funner and more immersive. And thats what counts. There should be a choice as in Battlefield, but FPS driving should definitely be in.

[BLiX]

Ah i do not know if i like the idea or not

[Baby Boo]

Always wanted to do this! There should be an option to toggle between First and third person vehicle views, when you hit a button.

[King of Winter]

it will be a really nice addition for every seat in every vehicle... especially if ur driving and u splatter someone

[sneakyweasel]

OMG YES!!! i just posted the same thing in halo waypoint forum i've always wanted to sit behind the wheel of a warthog. again to the people worried its ok it would just be an option to switch between the two from third person to first person so the people who wanna drive in first person can but everyone else can still retain the third person view. i cannot empasise how much i would love to see this!

[Father B]

Another problem caused by this is that you wouldn't be able to see enemies who jump onto your vehicle to melee or plant a grenade.

 

I fail to see how that is a bad thing.

 

In seriousness, though, you have a point - from the driver's perspective.

From the perspective of the guy trying to hijack/melee/nade-plant: Heck, let's make it mandatory first-person seating!

 

 

Personally, I'd LOVE to be in a Hog or Goose when it rolls! That would be the greatest virtual roller coaster since... well, since the last great virtual roller coaster.

[DoctorB77]

Ya. It sounds like fun and it would be awesome for machinimas. As long as it is an option that would be awesome. It would be cool if it could feature working mirrors as well.

[Deathab0ve1]

if you think about it 1st person view is a bad idea but remember it states you have a chose to pick between them so you dont have to use it so why not put it in for a new idea for different types of maps and game types

[VivaLebowski]

As long as there is a choice this means nothing but good for vehicle combat.

[Victory Element]

DEFINATELY NOT how will you tell if someones gonna jack you or what if your in a banshee and you cant see a rocket coming at you??

in a passenger seat in warthog, its alright so you can aim better, but otherwise noooo way
