"Master chief, You coming to my party?"
Xbox : "Error"
"Master chief, you missed your 4 shot!"
Xbox : "Error"
"Masterchief, go kill yourself!"
*Xbox explodes*
"-blam!- my life! thats the 4th xbox!"
*Tv explodes*

Nah. Natal probably couldn't see you moving your finger to pull the trigger and running in place would be horrible. Maybe only using it for grenade throwing and vehicles.

how is it in the wrong area? It's relevant to Reach cause we found someone saying it would b in reach so we asked in the Reach Forum... :(

BANG! BANG! you're dead

If they use Natal the right way, than yes. For instance, say the next Halo Game (after Reach) is a Squad Based Marine Game; if I can lead my squad using hand signals or voice commands (which Natal can detect) to signify specific actions, I'd be happy.

Then you'd have to put down your controller to drive and pick up as soon as the hog / mongoose flips. Lame. lol...

na even then the xbox will prob just ignore you because it does not understand your requess

Oh yeah It's Rayzed.

I think it would make gameplay alot more complex than clicking the right trigger. The wii is pretty boring enough as it is. I liked the idea of motion control at first...but after a few minutes of gaming, you just get bored. I don't like the sound of Natal. Sounds like an excuse to make us buy new hardware for future games and God knows Microsoft has already cheated most of us out of a couple benji's.

It has nothing to do with Reach read what he posted

Is Natal a good or bad thing for an FPS shooter (Halo)? Discuss...


you asked if Natal was good or bad for Halo you are talking about Natal not Halo, Halo is a secondary subject and if you found someone saying it would be in Reach then ask your question in that forum.

Wayne Jarvis, Attorney at Law; I have a responsibility to tell you that there is no candy in this office.

For the record, while it seems a little redundant, they are making a gun for NATAL. Nothing fancy, just something that registers a trigger, and can aim.

I hope Halo never sees NATAL. If I wanted to play Wii, I would gather up all of ten dollars and go buy a piece-o'-blam Wii. Also, NATAL isn't going to just be a free giveaway, you're going to have to buy it. I don't want to have to buy something that I really don't want just to play a game.

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

*Heavy's voice*

Oh, this is bad!!!

maybe sometime in the far future.. a room could be designed with 360 degree screens and a floor specifically designed to move, almost like a tredmill, in any direction to actually allow you to run at full speeds... now that would be epic

In a forum post that has nothing to do with NATAL? All he mentions is that it'll be involved and mentions a cutscene. It would b out of place. At least here people are commenting on REACH and still talking about NATAL. So your point is invalid.

  • 06.09.2009 6:04 PM PDT

Lame. nobodys posting

Wouldn't that just clog up privet caboose's forum with off-topic stuff that is irrelevant to the main subject of his post and the thread...? This post is for REACH and NATAL directly related. Is it gonna happen? What will they do with it?

Exaclty, i said that earlier. Why would i mess up his thread with off topic stuff (to him) when we could post in our own thread that is totally on topic and within reason?

  • 06.09.2009 6:21 PM PDT

Lol i think that the idea of doing stuff with NATAL in forge is a good idea, as long as it isnt the only option. Long live the classic controller! Microsoft spends so long designing their controller and then, *poof* now you don't need one. Haha, i'm just making a joke. I'm sure future Halo games will use a controller for a very long time. I don't necessarily think Reach should even use it though personally. It would be nice for xbox arcade games. But Reach?

  • 06.09.2009 6:25 PM PDT

Meh, fail NATAL

Listen to our podcast and listen to us talk about the latest Bungie news and Halo: Reach updates!

When I grow up, I want to be just like goofenhour.

Personally, I think this is just going to be an idea that's going to sound amazing but plays terrible. It's probably going to end up being annoying because it won't track you when you move or when you pull the trigger, however that may work. Then it's going to be a problem. It's problem not going to be advanced enough for Halo: Reach or FPS in general.

I mean lets think about this. If I were to lift my hand in the air to simulate to reload, Natal could possibly pick it up to many different things. Such as throwing a grenade, beatdown, switching weapons. And it's got to be able to pick this up in milliseconds. With motion control, it can't pick it up and process it up that quickly. That's why a controller works better.

That's why I don't see many FPS switching to Natal. I can some games being developed around Natal, but I don't see many FPS utilizing it. Motion Control is typically inconsistent and doesn't always do what you want to do, which can really cause problems with high action FPS, which the smallest error can cause you to die, such as Halo 3.

So the summary of my argument, I think that it will be unlikely that Natal will be used in Halo: Reach.

Well as funny as I think it'd be too see gamers in a huge hampster ball surrounded by a 360 degree tv, I don't think this idea will go far, at least not quickly. Even though cars exist that travel 300mph, that doesn't mean that the average person owns one. They are luxury items that most people can't afford. Unless Microsoft pours money into the project and they make something like this under $500, it'll be just another scrapped piece of wishful thinking.
