Halo: Reach gets new third-person mode that somehow works brilliantly

A new mod forHalo: Reachchanges the game’s perspective to third-person, and it kind of slaps.

Check outHalo: Infinitebelow, which is much better now than it was at launch

Of courseHalo: WarsandHalo: Wars 2were both third-person since they were real-time strategy games, but this mod will let you experience the close-quarters combat of Halo: Reach from an entirely new perspective.

You’ll need a copy ofHalo: The Master Chief CollectiononSteam, and you can download the mod from the Steam Workshop, unfortunately console players don’t have any official mod support at the time of writing.

Once installed, you’ll be able to switch the camera to third-person in the game’s firefight mode, one of the best reasons to revisitHalo: Reachaside from the fantastic single player campaign.

As weird as it is to say, Halo: Reach in third-person is far more than just a different camera, as the mod turns the player into a marine rather than a Spartan.

This means it’s much easier for enemies to shoot you down, leading to some very intense firefight sessions.

At the time of writing there isn’t a similar mod available for the other Halo games likeHalo 3orHalo 3: ODST, the best games in the series in my opinion, though give it time, they’ll probably happen.

If anything it’s another excuse to playHalo: Reachagain, which is still considered to be one of the best games Bungie made.
