Halo POV

by Maarten Goldstein Oct 28, 1999 8:22pm CST tags: Bungie, Halo
Voodoo Extreme has an email up that one of their readers got from Bungie's Allan Turner on why Halo is a 3rd person game:

>>Why is the game HALO a 3rd person view only? please give one good reason. PLEASE MAKE IT A FIRST PERSON VIEW!!! we don't like tomb raider controls. thanks.

Because for the level of environmental control and interaction you'll need int he game. It is nothing like Tomb Raider so please don't judge camera controls you've never experienced or used until you use them. The things you can do with the camera and the POVs that can be obtained are what makes this gmae what it is. If you want and like Quake 3 then I'm happy for you but that's not our game. Our game is Halo and it has a camera control that you have to expereince before you love or hate it.

You didn't miss that new screenshot yesterday, did you?
