The Halo Infinite experience is about to change with the arrival of a feature that players did not expect. The way to play the science fiction shooter will be different and will offer an alternative to enjoy multiplayer matches. This change promises to bring a new way to experience the Halo universe, providing a different vision for combat and Spartan mobility. You’ve read it right, we’re talking about playing in third person.
Third person mode coming to Halo Infinite
As reported by 343 Industries through X/Twitter, an official third person mode for Halo Infinite is on the way. It is a novelty that almost no one expected from the developer, but we will only have to wait until November for the studio to implement it through a patch. They define it as “a new way to play,” and in the video above, it can be seen that they are still working on the third person camera, but at least it looks like it will offer a solid experience in some clips.
While it may have surprised many players, there are others who are already familiar with third person in Halo to some extent, especially those modders who have developed ways to play in PC versions. While it is an official feature, we have already seen Master Chief in the past with this view when driving vehicles, in Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer, where executions were changed to third person, or in Forge mode.
It will be interesting to see how this change affects the gameplay of Halo Infinite, as it would not be strange if it affects the combat pace. It will also be interesting to see if this new official measure revitalizes the shooter in terms of player numbers. At least on SteamDB we can see that there are only a few thousand users. Whatever the case may be, 343 Industries seems to be working on another Halo game and other projects related to the franchise. Everything points to receiving news on the 25th anniversary of Halo and Xbox.
