Third-Person Mode Arriving in Halo Infinite Next Month
Next month, Halo Infinite is set to introduce a third-person mode, offering a new perspective for players to experience the game. Developer 343 Industries has given fans a sneak peek at what this mode will look like once it goes live, showcasing a major shift in gameplay style.
The shift to third-person completely changes the game's atmosphere, with some fans expressing mixed reactions. While the change excites some players, others feel it's a departure from the classic Halo experience, fearing it mirrors other popular games like Fortnite too closely.
Halo Infinite to Feature Third-Person Gameplay
Despite the mixed reactions, many fans are curious to see how this new mode will impact the game. However, some vocal critics are less enthusiastic about this direction, feeling that Halo Infinite is chasing trends rather than staying true to its roots.
One fan, @TwoQuick0nes, voiced disappointment, saying, "The Fortnite-ification of Halo is so depressing." Another user, @EndymionYT, echoed similar feelings: "Once a pioneer of gaming now chases the trends of games made after it. Sad to see but what can you do?"
Though Fortnite isn't the only third-person shooter out there, the addition of this mode could be aimed at attracting fans of the battle royale genre to Halo Infinite. By making the game more accessible to a broader audience, 343 Industries might be hoping to breathe new life into the title. Fortunately, the third-person mode is optional, so players who prefer the traditional first-person gameplay can stick with their current playstyle.
Halo's Recent Struggles
The Halo series has faced challenges in recent years. While Halo Infinite continues to receive updates, the game’s seasonal content has come to a halt. There were also reports of a cancelled battle royale mode, though the project was never officially announced. Adding to these struggles, the Halo TV series was met with disappointment and was ultimately cancelled after two seasons. With the introduction of third-person mode, Halo Infinite aims to stay relevant amidst these challenges, but only time will tell how the community will receive this major update.
