Halo Going FPS?
by Steve Gibson, Jun 06, 2000 11:06am PDTIsnt this something? The latest issue of PCGamerUK is carrying a preview of Halo according to Haloplayer.com which is nothing incredibly special on its own, there are 4 new screenshots in there though. What is so special? This quote from Jason Jones of Bungie:
"Jason believes that the balance is moving increasingly towards the first person model"Looking at all the screenshots of Halo of course everyone has known that Bungie has been pretty vocal about refusing to use the FPS style. I guess everyone changes their mind though eh?. Thanks Johnny Rotten! 5:15pm update: Here is the entire quote

One of the most exciting aspects about this game was the fact that they had the balls to make it third-person and not fall into the rut of a FPS. Well, I guess the pressure of all the 3rd-person game haters got to them. Making Halo a FPS is not ONLY going to ruin it, but it's going to take away most of the feel and the asthetics of the game.
This is a terrible move on Bungie's part. Wow...you can't use a sniper rifle in 3rd-person mode ... well then, let's fuck up the whole game by making it a FPS instead of simply changing the weapon or removing it altogether.
Halo will turn out like Quake 3 Arena, a very good game, but not even CLOSE to what was promised and previewed during its creation. They're going to change it to the point that it's going to look like everything else.
Needless to say, I am quite disturbed.

Give it about a year or so, assuming it doesn't end up as vaporware in the meantime...

Fucking worthlesss bungie morons. This game is going the route of the daikatana. It'll suck worse than marathon ever did...which is hard to imagine.
Bungies' finally giving me some hope for this game. No way am I going to waste my money on a 3rdPP game. Especially if Tribes2 comes out at the same time.
baaah, i loved this 3rd person view in the screenies, though i think it's difficult to navigate in huge battles. perhaps they should something like a "view of choice", so you can choose which view is the best, if you drive through large outdoor areas i think it could be nice to have the camera placed behind the charakter
person and laugh my ass off as I 0wn each and
every one of those guys that I cap from behind
because they couldn't see me coming. 3p still
rules for hand-to-hand. Just remember that when
you suddenly find a big-ass energy sword poking
through your upper torso and start to wonder where
the hell it came from.
This is gonna be sweet.
