Not some thread thats gonna say that it is going to be there.

I think that alot of people are thinking about it wrong and that you would have to pretend you have a gun but think about the AI Milo you saw. Imagine your Spartan/Marine whatever teammates with that. You could talk to them give them orders. Think about the possibilites, you've lost your squad you have to give them coordinates, need an airstike? Call it in yourself. The possibilties are endless.

Just an idea, personally i think it would be pretty sick.

That sounds cool.












For Call Of Duty... Airstrikes and squad control isn't Halo. I would hate that.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

You don't need Natal to utilize voice commands.

Anyway, this topic has been discussed and ranted about to death. If you had read the full interview with Harold Ryan, you'd know that even he knows that Natal's functionality with a game like Reach would be heavily restricted as to not change the traditional mode of play that the franchise has seen throughout its time.

Natal's compatibility with Reach, if at all, will likely only be menu UI-related.

Loyalty is all I have.

I have been preaching this all along, Natal is not just motion sensing , it has other aspects as well they could implement

It'll have to be if you play as a Spartan. If you've read the books you'll know they work as a squad. I don't mean like Ghost recon i mean like in First strike when they have to defend the Doctor, Chief says 'Defence Pattern Delta' or something along those lines. I just think things like that would give a touch to Reach that would make it better than so many games. But like i said it was just an idea.

I have read the books.

For one- It isn't confirmed that you're a Spartan.

Two- It isn't confirmed you're a Spartan Squad leader.

And three- The context of the story hasn't been confirmed.

So no, it doesn't REQUIRE voice commands.

Re read what i wrote.

I never said you do play as a Spartan, I never said you play as a Spartan Leader and I never said i knew the story. I also said in MY OPINION it was a good idea.

And I said I wouldn't like it, and it would ruin the experience for me. I would be require to spend a couple hundred dollars for a peripheral as well as the $60 for the game, and for what? A feature that could only be implemented in single player? No thanks.

You never said that...You said it would be good for CoD but not Halo. But thats your opinion and thats fair enough.

  • 07.09.2009 5:28 PM PDT

I said it would ruin Halo. And in saying that, it's obviously my opinion, so it can be inferred that it would ruin Halo for me.

I'm not going to argue about it, it's your opinion and your entitled to it.

You do realise that you can't go further than the 60th minute in an hour right?

Yeah ok, maybe not in Canada...

Sounds like it could be really fun. Socom meets Call of Duty on a vamped up Wii.

Guys watch this hillarious video from IGN - 5 ways Natal will ruin Halo:

LMAO! Especially the teabag thing i think it could actually be a good idea to be in the game! The cat thing was HILARIOUS!

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

I would like Natal to be in Reach, as like extra stuff you can do, not for game play. If you want to do an action, you press and hold any button, or say a certain command to Natal, which would bring you into 3rd person and allow you to do whatever you want instead of shoot(disables shooting because, let's face it, it wouldn't work) in the game. Like high five, do a dance, or anything you could do in real life.

It would be amazing for Machinimas, and just fun overall to dance over a dead body.

Someone make a thread about that now!
