In Response To: Perspective switch? (Louis Wu) > Haloplayers posted a news item about the latest issue of PCGamer > UK, which included this intriguing quote: > "Jason [Jones] believes that the balance is moving > increasingly towards the first person model." > Does this mean that all the "3rd Person sucks!" people > were right after all? Is this a misquote? Has Halo development > been taken over by Id? > What's up here? Listen, I was completely infatuated with Halo as a third person perspective game. But if they *DO* switch the perspective over to first person, I will only be more so. IMO, while there was nothing wrong the third person perspective, the first person perspective will really empower them to flesh out the single player aspect. As the storyline seems to grow more and more into another chapter of the Marathon mythos, a think the FPP becomes more and more compelling. Would love to hear something more 'official' from Matt though (ie that 'yes, we are more seriously considering a fpp every day' etc)
