Halo Infinite In Third-Person Makes Its Action Far More Cinematic

screenrant.com:

The fast-paced action of Halo Infinite's campaign contains the sci-fi first-person gameplay fans have come to expect from the series, but one mod switches the gameplay perspective from first to third with surprisingly fantastic results. Ever since the first Halo game put players in control of Master Chief, the series has become a significant staple in the first-person shooter community. FPS multiplayer games became increasingly popular thanks to series like Halo and Call of Duty. However, the massive success of games like Grand Theft Auto 5 and Fortnite has breathed new life into the 3rd person genre.

By switching the perspectives from first to third, players can see what their characters look like, and all of the animations the game's developer had to make for the playable character. Other FPS games will often not create player animations because players are not meant to see them from the first-person perspective. However, the Halo series has always done things a little differently. When a Halo player takes control of a heavy weapon or vehicle, the game's perspective will switch to 3rd to help players see more of the action around them. And one mod has allowed players to enjoy Halo Infinite in a way that lets them see more of the intense action.

While more of the open world of Halo Infinite can be seen thanks to the 3rd person mod, the mod's greatest strength is highlighting the game's expansive and fast-paced battles. Shifting
