Natal isn't just motion capture, its also voice recognition. I think that some natal compatibility combined with controller use would be amazing. For instance, you could give orders to your marines so that they don't go rushing into combat. You could tell them to fall back so they survive and you can use them later.
You could also have menu selection and the menus be voice activated and used for finger motions.
Natal is not BS. The technology will do what they say it does. We've been getting subtle hints about it for months now. They purchased a few companies that made 3D depth cameras several months ago, and when they did everyone was expecting some kind of controller motion capture thing like the Wii. Project Natal was way beyond what was expected. The technology is sound and has been in development for quite some time. If they keep working on it, I'm sure a lot of games will incorporate both motion and voice recognition technology. Games don't have to be 100% Natal. They can use parts of it combined with controller usage if they want to. That's what I want to see.
PS- I just had a thought. A lot of the time in Halo 3, sometimes you have to maneuver certain marines with certain weapons (like the rocket launcher, sniper rifle, or Spartan laser) into the right seats on your vehicle. With Natal, one of the possible voice commands could be ordering specific marines with specific weapons to get into the passenger seats, and other marines with weak weapons to man the turret. The interactivity would be amazing. Also alot of people dont seem to realize that Natal is and will be running off it's own processor to do all the heavy lifting so the 360 can concentrate on the game it self and not get bogged down ((also so natal has all the speed it needs))
and Natal actually pics up 3D space using inferred light and such things ((look up how it actualy works people stop being lazzy))
