Halo fans, here are two amazing mods for you today. Modder ‘Davide Di Fortunato’ released these mods for the Anniversary Edition of Halo Combat Evolved and Halo 2. These are the official remakes that were included in the Master Chief Collection. And, as the title suggests, these mods will let you play these classic games in a third-person mode.
Both Halo and Halo 2 allow you to switch between the original and the modern graphics. And yes, these mods are compatible with both modes. This means that purists will be able to enjoy the classic versions in third-person mode. On the other hand, those who want better graphics will be able to switch to the Anniversary Editions.
Do note that these mods will work once you find a weapon. I’m saying this because some may be confused after installing and trying them. Yes, at first, the game will still be in first-person.
Those interested in playing the first two classic Halo games in third-person can download their mods from here and here. In order to install them, you’ll simply have to put their files in the right maps folders.
In case you’re wondering, yes. There are similar third-person mods for pretty much all the other Halo games. You can download from here the third-person mod for Halo 3. You can also download from here a similar mod for Halo: Reach. As for Halo 4, you can download its third-person mod from here. And yes, there is also a third-person mod for Halo: Infinite.
Unfortunately, the modder hasn’t shared any video to showcase these mods in action. However, he did share some screenshots. Thus, I’ve decided to include some of them below. I’ve also included a video from the third-person mod of Halo 3. So, go ahead and take a look at them before downloading them.
Have fun!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
