343 Industries announced that Halo Infinite will soon get a third-person view. Players were skeptical about the news, calling it «Fortniteification».
Ahead of the Halo World Championship in Seattle, 343 developers announced a new feature for Halo Infinite, which will be released in November. You can see what the game will look like with a third-person view in the video below:
Players didn't really appreciate the studio's enthusiasm. Judging by the comments under the original post, the innovation was perceived rather negatively. Many felt that Halo was becoming inappropriately colorful and chaotic, like other «royal battles»:
The Fortniteification of Halo looks depressing.
A pioneer in the world of games is now chasing trends created after him. It's sad to see, but what can you do.
Cool, I won't play this anymore.
I'm really glad that instead of new weapons, vehicles, and maps, we'll get a third-person mode that no one will use.
However, not all gamers were against the new mode. Some of them, on the contrary, were happy with this way to «refresh» the gameplay, promising to return to Halo Infinite.
Recently, a former Halo developer shared the first trailer for his new free game. And one of the artists showed concept art for a crossover with the Alien universe, which never saw the light of day.
