GamingBible has revealed that via a PC mod, Halo 2 is now playable in third- person:

“What if you take the first-person perspective out of one of the best first-person shooters ever made? The answer is it becomes the best third-person shooter ever made instead.

Now the camera only changes when you’re holding a weapon, which you’re not doing when you first start the campaigns for both games. Once you eventually pick one up though you’ll see the full effects of the mod.

In a weird way, Halo games lend themselves quite well to third-person, all the vehicle segments shift the camera to third person, and with aim-assist turned on as usual aiming is just as straightforward as it is in the normal game. One benefit is you definitely have more spatial awareness, which is great for when you’re being chased down by an Elite with an energy sword or surrounded by The Flood.”

Per Windows Central:

“The increase in player interest is owed to Season 5: Reckoning, which kicked off last month on October 17. By far, its most exciting addition is the power to create custom PvE experiences by plonking down campaign AI in Forge. On top of that, though, there’s a pair of new Arena maps, fresh Forge canvases and items, the return of the fan-favorite Halo 4 mode Extraction (deploy and protect extraction sites to score points), and more, including Master Chief’s armor as a reward for reaching Hero rank and the ability to earn Battle Pass XP in Custom Games. Oh, and you can finally wear any helmet on any armor core. Let me do that with all my armor, please.

It’s all great stuff, and there’s more coming, too — an official King of the Hill-based PvE Firefight mode is slated to come before the season ends on January 30, as is a shield and vehicle-regenerating equipment piece called the Repair Field. There’s also a pair of “Operation” events, one of which is active from now until December 19 and features 20 tiers of free rewards to earn, as well as a “Halo 3 Refueled” matchmaking playlist with community-made remakes of beloved Halo 3 maps.”
