Developer 343i today teased a new camera mode for Halo Infinite over Twitter. This coming November, players will be able to take on the simulations in a whole-new way in Halo Infinite with a 3rd Person mode, as you can see in the preview below:
This is a welcome new addition to the game as 343i continues to iterate on the multiplayer and Forge modes. Campaign music, for example, has been added as a new way for map makers to create cooler and unique maps as part of Operation Fleetcom. As we covered last time:
Now 343 have added in the music of Halo Infinite’s campaign to Forge with a variety of situational nodes, aiming to give as much control as possible to creators. They did this by implementing the music control exactly how it was in the creation of the campaign. They divided the tracks into various themes, such as “Heroic Combat Set B”. These containers have different tracks that all share the same mood but are randomized when playing, a smart way of making sure things don’t feel too repetitive.
Alongside this new feature they’re also letting creators access over 1,000 voice lines from the multiplayer announcer Jeff Steitzer. This is exciting in its own right as it lets Forge creators truly go all out with their vision, and continue to blur the line between Forge and developer made creations.
There’s a lot of variety in lines being added, from the various modes, to Medals, to even a few humorous lines that 343 felt would be fun to include. They’re giving forgers control in who hears these lines, from all players, to a specific player, to a team. The bottom line is, they’re giving complete control in how to use these lines and we’re sure forgers have some fantastic ideas already.
Again, Halo Infinite will be getting its 3rd Person mode down this November. And don’t forget, Halo Infinite is available as a free-to-play game on Windows PCs, Xbox consoles, and via Cloud.
