The non-acquisition news rolls on. At the end of Blue's News' interview with Doug Zartman, he is asked about recent developments with Halo's camera perspective:

Blue's News: Lastly, the announcement that Halo might be switching to a first person perspective received audible cheers from our readers. Can you give us any more information on this? Has a definite decision on whether or not to change the perspective been made? What factors are involved?

Doug Zartman: Halo will not be either 100% first person or 100% third, but instead will use the best mode for whatever activity the player is engaging in. You gotta have first person for sniping; you gotta have third for driving... an artful mix is the best solution.

What the balance is between first and third-person perspectives remains to be seen. Perhaps this will put concern about the camera view somewhat on hold until the game's release... no matter what platform(s) Halo comes to.
