How to Become a Flying Camera on Halo

The Theater and Forge modes featured in "Halo 3," "Halo 3: ODST," "Halo: Reach" and "Halo 4" enable players to create new gaming environments, review recent campaign and multiplayer gaming sessions, record videos and take still photographs of your triumphs and achievements. In Theater Mode you can opt to view the gaming session from the traditional "Halo" first-person point of view or you can become a free-floating camera to capture video and stills from a third-person point of view. In Forge Mode, the camera feature is used to navigate freely throughout the gaming environment.
