ll this get you to hop back in or rush out for an Xbox?

To me Halo is a first person shooter.

 

[Iced Arcade]

So conflicted right now

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I downloaded Halo Infinite the first few minutes it was available. Still haven’t launched it once.

 

[sendit]

Garbage. At least add better character animations, this looks like a budget release.

[Verchod]

Third person is for children

 

[GoldenEye98]

WHY DID SERIES S ASK FOR THIS? SERIES S FAULT!!!

 

[diffusionx]

 

[Buggy Loop]

Why? They think gamers are putting FPS on the sides or what?

 

[Moriarty1889]

Should be interesting and add a new dimension. Excited to give it another go.

 

[SirTerry-T]

Third person mode?

They're definitely prepping a PS version then...

 

[Pop]

BR mode must be coming

 

[RagnarokIV]

Why does it look like fortnite

 

[VAVA Mk2]

Kid: Mom, can we please have Helldivers 2 on Xbox?
Mom: We already have Helldivers 2 on Xbox.
Helldivers 2 on Xbox :

Real talk; I kind of wonder how a Halo game would do if it did something like Destiny? Make your own Spartan and/or Elite "classes", customizable gear and weapons, but both of a PvE focus.

Honestly, with Bungie struggling as they are, I feel like it *could* be a good idea for both Sony and Microsoft. Having Bungie and 343 working together on such a game, I feel like you'd get something pretty incredible out of it.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

getting ready for a PlayStation audience

 

[rapid32.5]

How about Halo 7 or single player DLC for Infinite by now. Everyone forgot what Halo is.

 

[MakeMudosGreatAgain]

When does this come out? In a Fortnite?

 

[poppabk]

Who asked for this?

The money men. 3rd person = more opportunity for cosmetic sales.

 

[Loomy]

This right here

 

[MagnesD3]

Jesus christ just cremate the damn body already my god.. Can microsoft just die already?

 

[EverydayBeast]

3rd person was great in multiple games like mgo2, socom, uncharted 2’s mp and gears of war. I think halo has to continue to occupy the first person shooter space.

 

[Ceadeus]

Halo is always a fun time. Straight up, frantic gunfights and acrobatic platforming.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Ok but wtf is the future of single player content

 

[Dafegamer]

Preparing for a Helldivers like update

 

[BlackTron]

Third person mode?

They're definitely prepping a PS version then...

Finish the Fight™ with Master Chief in this acclaimed first person shooter third person adventure just like Ratchet and Clank.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

I think a 3rd person option in FPS games works in many cases. This is not one of them.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

To me Halo is a first person shooter.

One of the pre-eminent console FPS turning into a 3PS to jump on the Fortnite train is absolutely sad.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Sony

I wonder if they want to turn the Master Chief into a fat lesbian too.

 

[Gonzito]

Why don't they say is this will be available for the campaign?

 

[pasterpl]

Not sure about this. (I am a big FPS fan so my opinion is skewed). I love Halo Infinite but as FPS, 3rd party games are very rarely something that I will buy (unless it is Gears of War).

 

[Klosshufvud]

Third person is simply a superior form of camera placement. Being able to see your character not only opens up new gameplay options but is also visually more pleasing. I'm not surprised first person games are becoming less popular.

 

[djjinx2]

Jesus christ just cremate the damn body already my god.. Can microsoft just die already?

Did Microsoft kick your kid or something?

A mode is releasing on an older game on a platform you clearly don't care about.

And this qualifies to a "please Microsoft die" post.

Jeez

 

[Banjo64]

Not sure what to say really. As someone who played at launch and recently got back in to it, I’ve never once thought about third person Halo.

No one here will remember this, but when Halo CE was first ported to PC ages ago, one of it’s most popular mods was the 3rd person mode.

Of course back then there wasn’t social media to point this stuff out, so this information probably didn’t spread as much as it could have.

That tag

 

[Kabelly]

god looking at that gameplay I so wish Xbox wasn't behind and had gyro in their controllers.

 

[Sooner]

Let the port begging begin.

For Halo Infinite? The only people begging for Halo Infinite are people just wanting to see meltdowns. Game was mid.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

I'm kinda glad the hurricane happened. Made me play infinite on game pass. It's pretty good

 

[Cakeboxer]

For Halo Infinite? The only people begging for Halo Infinite are people just wanting to see meltdowns. Game was mid.

Singleplayer was beyond awful, multiplayer was great with almost perfect gunplay. Not enough content though.

 

[Hrk69]

Doesn't make the game less shit unfortunately

 

[FeralEcho]

Giving players more options is never a bad thing.

It should be an interesting experience playing it in 3rd person.

 

[BlackTron]

If you can switch with a button press, like in StarFox, I would actually use this. Sometimes the situational awareness of enemies and nades around you would be more important than down-sights accuracy, and you need to choose. If you just toggle it in a menu, DOA for me I'll never use it.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Story mode too?

 

[Sooner]

I'll take your word. I don't play online games. I did finish the campaign though.

 

[belteshazzar]

343 industries are truly lost...

 

[splattered]

Oh come on this is just a different little extra experience they are releasing for people to have fun with... some of you are acting like this is replacing the primary 1st person experience. Who gives a flying fuck if they put out something like this and let people mess around with?

 

[Radical_3d]

Yeah. Just what the game needed. I’ve already sold my SX so I don’t care so much, but I’d love if Microsoft give the franchise some more love. Maybe the next one…

 

[Three]

To sell skins that you can see of course

 

[Three]

Third person mode?

They're definitely prepping a PS version then...

I'm prepping a 3rd person Halo Infinite picture next to some trees and will say MS release games that are like every other Sony game.
