Halo: Campaign Evolved will be fully playable in 3rd person

Bungie had initially developed Halo 1 with a fully working third-person camera, but it was never enabled for players except when driving vehicles. That will be changing in the remake, with a full third-person camera option for the entire campaign. 

The third-person campaign gameplay has been showcased in a new video uploaded today. It is a playthrough of The Silent Cartographer, one of the most popular missions from the original game.

The first thing that immediately stood out to me was the sense of scale. Some of this gets lost in first-person, but Master Chief is massive, and I can really appreciate more of the level / character design overall in this third-person mode.

We still don't know if the developers will be able to truly match the feel of a Halo game in Unreal Engine 5 but so far, it seems to have nailed the art direction, UI and even menus for this remake.

KitGuru Says: Will you be picking up Halo Campaign Evolved when it drops? Will you be playing it in third-person or sticking to classic first-person?
