Not sure if this can be possible at this stage of the game development. This game's combat and weaponary is built from the ground up for a first-person perspective. Its what Bungie does best, remember they made first person shooters a thing on consoles with Halo CE

Some people act like there aren't any great third person shooters out, or that "third person" means less accuracy... Ehh, riiiiiiight... Go play a third person shooter and tell me how "hard it is to aim," because I've never had that problem, ever. But the reason I'm here - is that I agree a third person option would be awesome. Forcing us to stay in first person while fighting breaks immersion for a game like this. Third person also has an advantage in combat that most people replying here seem to be overlooking. Being able to see more of what's going on around you. You could probably split the people who agree and disagree with this based on who's from the MMORPG crowd and who's from the Halo/FPS crowd though. There's just more advantages of being in third person though.

I wouldn't complain about a 3rd person option, obviously. I just don't think that is on the to do list for Bungie. I think everyone is better off finding another feature/gameplay mechanic to request than the perspective of the player.
