I've made a post similar to this, but it was pretty confusing. So I made this new poll which is very straight forward.

In case you forgot, or have never played Halo:CE here is someone's video (you may want to hit the mute button before venturing over) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSnDvfWQ2N8

Yes, and bring back the ability to scope whilst in the passenger seat as well.

It should be optional. I would like to switch in and out of third person.

***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM DURANDAL***

You are about to see what no human has ever seen...

***END MESSAGE***
***JUMP PAD ACTIVATION INITIATION START***
***TRANSPORT WHEN READY***

I think it should be able to be toggled in-game. For example, you enter to passenger seat, press in on the left (or right) stick, and you go from third person to first person and vice-versa.

This could also be applied to drivers and turret gunners.

I don't understand the advantages of third person side seat?

It seems that when you are in the side seat of a vehicle all you are is a free kill instead of an asset.
I can see how it isn't very realistic for players to be able to scope in while in the side seat of a bumpy vehicle, but a lot of stuff in the game is far from realistic.

First person side seat was so great in CE, it is alot easier to aim/fire in first person.

You aren't going to be able to hit anything from the passenger seat anyways, regardless if it's in 1st or 3rd person.

Sitting in the passenger seat for a prolonged period of time will just give the enemy a triple kill instead of a double.

The internet is a bad place.

I agree,it should be optional and easily switchable.
A zoom would be good to.

Try sitting in the sideseat with the dmr.
If you have a good driver and a gunner to soften up the target,you can get quite a few headshots.

Halo 3 Rule! XBOX LIVE Rule too! what up everyone?

This is best idea. I like it very much, it easier to aim.

this should be added too!

I'm not saying that toggle is a bad idea or anything, I just don't understand the purpose of having third person side seat, it's not even practical like third person driving.

Personally I would like the option for firs person for everything, even driving I don't care whether or not it is practical I just care if it is fun. I mean it is a video game and the main objective of a fps shooter such as this is to make you feel in the action. So why not put us in the action Bungie?

when im not kicken ass im kicken back

i think people want third person so they dont get car sick when you get hit by a rocket mid air and go flipping losing orientation. but thats exactly what i want. i loved in CE jumping from the blood gulch ridge by firing a rocket at the ground, but i can see how some can get frustrated not knowing whats going on so they want 3rd person to see the big picture and will always know whats up so they can jump out in time

you know what would be really cool is if the person in the side seat had first person view and could look down at the dashboard to see the hogs health.

thats it then side seat has a major purpose! yes yes yes this needs to get heard. first person side seat has the responsibility of watching vehicle health gauge.

They have something similar in Battlefield Bad Company 2, you hit the D-Pad and it toggles the view, plus it wouldn't get in the way of the other buttons.

This really should be in the game. I just found out last weekend in Halo: CE that you could do this and I thought it was the coolest thing ever; it was challenging, and fun to be in the seat like that, and seeing as how 95% of the posters agree, I can only hope that it gets implemented into the game.

Please bring this back. I don't understand why it was removed in "Halo 2" and beyond.

I think it will be back and that the video before the beta hinted at that but they just didnt implement it.

So when we get in the game they will suprise everyone.

I always drive away when a person tries getting inside the side seat.

I'm sure hoping that's the case. That video that plays before the video had first person side seat action. Why show it if it's not available? Just to taunt us? lol

Because it looks awesome! It puts you right in the action. Whether or not you're a sitting done, it's super epic.

Imagine a set of headphones on, cruising a suicide mission blasting a DMR at a tank who's got a barrel aimed at your head. Heart pounding epicness!

yes and make an option to turn it off if game variants.

You are a spartan. Your armor can deflect small arms fire, and can survive small explosions. Just remember to duck when you see a small, orange, plastic traffic cone going towards your face at a high velocity.

I personally like the 3rd person view instead of a first person view. I can see what is going on easier.

It also helps me aim when I have a grenade launcher or something that does splash damage.

I don't know if anyone saw the video of the guy grabbing the covenant turret after rocketing the dropship on boneyard and getting in the side seat of the hog, but when he did he stood straight up and had in my opinion the properties of a turret. Which is what I think the problem is with the side seat is that when you get in maybe the properties for that player changes or something. I don't know, I wish I knew more about creating video games, but I think that is the reason and maybe it is to much effort to change.
Anyways I hope sees this poll and considers it, I would really like it.

It would be nice if it were optional. Like a button to toggle it or something.

But personally, I liked the 1st person view better. It seems more immersive, and for once side-seat might actually be able to hit someone and serve some purpose other than flag-carrier.
